Gunfight At The O.K. Corral

The history of the American West is replete with tales of shootouts between gunfighters, lawmen and outlaws: Billy the Kid’s escape from the Lincoln County jail in New Mexico, Wild Bill Hickok’s numerous gun duels, and the bank and train robberies of Jesse James and his gang, but probably the most famous of all is the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona in October of 1881. The circumstances of the encounter along with its aftermath, known in old west lore as ‘The Vengeance Ride’ or ‘The Vendetta’ make for a great opportunity for looking at my favourite sub-genre of western figures, the Gunfighters.
