Gunfight at the O.K. Corral “Who Was in The Right '?

he gunfight at the O.K. Corral pitted lawmen against members of a loosely organized group of cattle rustlers and horse thieves called the Cowboys on October 26, 1881. While lasting less than a minute, the gunfight has been the subject of books and films into the 21st century. Taking place in the town of Tombstone in Arizona Territory, the battle has become one archetype of the American Old West. The gunfight was the result of a long-simmering feud between five outlaws (including two sets of brothers) and four representatives of the law, including three brothers. The trigger for the event was the local marshal's decision to enforce a city ordinance that prohibited the carrying of weapons into town. To enforce that ordinance, the lawmen would have to disarm the Cowboys.

50% of the population was prob on the cowboys payroll…

WELL the way I remember it. It was a mostly peaceful protest.. 🤠😏

Ile Clanton shouldn't have run his mouth. If he was truly threatening a man's life, even back then... especially back then, you'd have to take that seriously .Thanks to him, his brother was killed, and he ran away as it was happening. Groovy 😮

There is no such thing as innocence, only varying degrees of guilt

[chrisadam]

The cowboys from what I read by many different historians. Believe that horse and cattle theft and crime that was owned by the cowboys. This includes the Sheriff and the town marshal and judge. So they were all guilty of some sort of crime.

Every eyewitness is dead.we will never know for sure

[allenweitman]

The Arps and the Clanton’s had a very, very twisted and intersected history so it’s hard to say the legend said their heroes so print the legend

[johnmcgrail]

Three of them were around Johnny B hand lied to Wyatt cause they were having enemies no breaking the law cause they had guns obviously they had guns cause they shot Morgan and Virgil and Wyatt

It wouldn't be the first time history was changed by the victor

I doubt any of them were unarmed. The rule of thumb for a cowboy is to make sure you have a way of protecting yourself from coyotes, wolves, bears, etc. Not all nasty creatures are two legged.

I just know that there is a really good pizza called Doc Holliday at a great pizza place in West Yellowstone, MT. The place is called WILD WEST PIZZERIA & SALOON.

It didn't happen at the OK Corral.

[Gofish]

According to the movie cowboys had it coming and we're armed 🤠

They called down the thunder they could have left town and i don't buy the unarmed thing for one second they were there for a fight the eyrps surprised them before they could set up a ambush and the shotgun would have been my weapon of choice but im still wondering how doc got the double barrel shotgun to keep firing after he done fired twice watch the movie it obvious
