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.
