Wyatt Earp & the Gunfight at the OK Corral
S1 • E5 Dec 31, 2011 38m
Myth of the gunfighter. Cowboy gangs of New Mexico and Arizona. The 10/26/81 OK Corral event is precipitated by a stagecoach robbery with two murders. The fight lasts 30 seconds and the two who started it (Wyatt and Ike Clanton) come out unharmed. Three cowboys are dead, Doc Holiday, Virgil and Morgan Earp wounded. In December, Virgil is shot and crippled. Three months later, Morgan is murdered. Wyatt's one-year long vendetta leaves two cowboys dead. He departs Arizona for Colorado.(No mention of Wyatt's presence in Kansas for the 1883 Dodge City War.)
