Adobe Moon is a biographical novel by Mark Warren. It has a lot of fact, a little fiction mixed in. This book starts off with the Earp family, when Wyatt was a teenager-chomping at the bit, because the Civil War is going on and his three older brothers are off fighting. He desperately wants to quit working the family farm and join up in the fight.
The book is enriched with a lot of well known history and other lesser known facts. Mr. Warren blends it into an interesting story. I enjoyed it. This is the first book in this trilogy, on Wyatt Earp.
