Jeffery E. Worsham "Jeff" lives in Bourbon, IN and has always been
interested in the Old West & Wyatt Earp. He vacationed in Tombstone, AZ
about 6 years ago and shortly after that became involved in the re-enactments of
the wild west. He belongs to a group known as "Shadows of the Old
West." "Shadows" consists of a group of folks who relive the wild
west of the 1880s. Many of their skits are based on historic fact while some are
for entertainment only. Billed as a family show, there are several husband and
wife teams in the case, and, in some cases, whole families. They refrain from
the gory sights that have become common in TV and movies. Instead, they try to
entertain and educate with a mix of actual happenings and some just for fun. The
cast comes from a wide area of northern Indiana, and they have delighted
audiences in that area for the last four years. The group competed in the
national competition of old west re-enactors held at Buffalo Bills Irma Hotel in
Cody, WY to "accolades," according to a spokesman. (PFLot News
8-12-2000. There is a picture of Jeff holding a shotgun included in the article)
Jeff has spent much of his free time during recent summers traveling the midwest
portraying Wyatt Earp or Morgan Earp, Wyatt Earp’s brother in various
re-enactment’s of the Old West. He acted out one of the most infamous events
in Old West Lore: The Shoot-out At The O.K. Corral which was Oct. 26, 1881 at
Tombstone, AZ. He went to Arizona in 1997 to take part in a filming of the
event. In February 1999, he was contacted by a member of that cast and asked if
he would like to reprise his role as Morgan Earp in a new and longer version of
the film. While there he met Wyatt Earp, a grandnephew of the legendary Wyatt
Earp who was residing in Phoenix and had presented programs about his famous
uncle in this country and in Europe. The film was made at what is termed as
"Earp Headquarters," the Apache Junction Motel, in Apache Junction.
(Bourbon News-Mirror 7 Oct 1999)
Jeff was interviewed by J. Michael Rodrigues, a News Tribune Reporter,
Lasalle, IL in Jul, 2000. Rodrigues wrote: Jeff Worsham takes a puff of a
cigarette just minutes before he cocks his shotgun and goes on a rampage. The
Bourbon, IN man not only resembles Wyatt Earp—he lives Wyatt Earp.
‘For me, it’s like a living history lesson,’ he said before performing
as Wyatt in the OK Corral renactment at Wyatt Earp’s birthplace in Monmouth,
IL. ‘The beautiful thing about it is sharing this with other people.’
Exactly four lawmen, three Earp brothers, Doc Holiday, the sheriff and six
cowboys and a crowd full of adult and children onlookers fit in the spacious
side yard of the birthplaces. The actors and actresses have traveled from as far
as Arizona and Ohio to perform. But Worsham, who does shows ‘from New York to
California,’ said there are many things that draw actors and actresses to
these shows. ‘It’s real neat to meet blood relatives of the participants at
the OK Corral,’ Worsham said. ‘It’s something you can’t put into words.’
Worsham has a shrine at home that covers some memorabilia and replicas of the
things used by Earp and in the days of the Old West. He travels with photos in
his car of his office in Bourbon. He said his love for history and for Earp
memorabilia has been something that has always been with him. ‘I have always
been a cowboy at heart,’ said the tall, skinny man with the thin, shiny
mustache. ‘When you’re young and foolish, you waste a lot of time and money.
You travel to this piece of history and you see these places and feel like you’re
a part of it. It’s fabulous.’(There is a picture of Jeff in the article.)
Jeff is an active member and Vice President of the Wyatt Earp’s Birthplace,
Monmouth, IL. (There is a picture of the home in a brochure which Jeff sent)
Jeff sent a color copy of a picture of himself with Wyatt Earp, great-grand
nephew of Wyatt Earp & John Gallifent taken in Scottsdale, AZ Nov 2000; a
picture & article of him as Morgan Earp and Dennis Dreibelbis as Frank
Stillwell when they entertained the Bourbon Lions Club; a transposed photo of
him with a gun & wearing his western outfit wherein the back drop is at
Gammons Gulch AR movie town north of Benson, AZ; a color copy of him with
another actor at Durango, CO 20 May 2001. They are sitting at a table with an
autographed copy of a picture of Harry Cary, Jr the Movie Star; & a 8 x 10
color copy of the autographed copy of the picture of Harry Cary.
