Nicholas Earp was a Civil War veteran and father of legendary Wyatt Earp.  Nicholas served as a staff sergeant for the Union Army in the Civil War.  Prior to that he served in the Black Hawk War and Mexican War.  His final years were spent as a saloon operator and city recorder in Colton, California.  Earp's autograph image endorsement is included.  A Nicholas Earp autograph is a nice addition to the best Civil War or Old West collections.
