I love how at every possible moment, the universe conspired to NOT have a shootout that day. Doc Holiday didn't get angry until they told him NOT to fight.

It’s entirely possible that the cowboys were gearing up not to leave town but to go out on a posse to kill Holiday and that Holiday being there when the lawmen showed up just expedited the fight. For all we know if the lawmen hadn’t shown up Holiday could’ve been dead and the cowboys could’ve fled.

@Riker-sc2zv

The lawmen were told the cowboys were getting ready to attack, and acted accordingly. Maybe that was the case, or maybe they were given bad info. Considering the type of behaviour cowboys passing through Tombstone were generally known for, I think fight was more likely than flight, but we’ll never know for certain. Not sure about Docs decision to raise the shotgun instead of keeping it at low ready or port though; could arguably be a deterrent or escalation.

"We need a cool-headed person to hold the shotgun...here, Doc, you take it" - Just a genius move. The movies make such hay of this being a righteous duel, when it was basically a dumb gang war that escalated.

5:57 “It’s not revenge he’s after. It’s a reckoning.”

It's always wild to me that when Western genre movies and tv were at their height (50s and 60s) the events portrayed were still within living memory and that the wild west period (1880s) was contemporary with patents for coaxial cable, solar cells and automobiles.

It’s never been done better than in the film Tombstone.

They STOOD ON BUISNESS FR

30 shots is just an average Tuesday in Chicago nowadays

I have been to Tombstone on multiple occasions, and have thus seen the reenactment many times, and even with all that and listening to all the history talks there around it, I didn't know a good deal about this bit of history that you have shown in this. I have also seen the statues of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in Tucon at the historic train depot, commemorating the shootout and later vendetta ride and resulting shootout at said depot. So you can literally trace parts of this history visibly across Southern Arizona from watching the shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone to seeing the statues of the shootout in Tucson. The depot is only a modest walk from the downtown history museum and Hotel Congress where you can see where John Dillinger actually was arrested and learn about how all that went down (and how he later escaped in IL, much to the annoyance of Tucson officials).

Thank you for the video.

Thanks!

My only note is the fact that Sheriff Behan and his part was not mentioned. How he told the Earps that he had “taken care of the situation” and disarmed the Cowboys.

Minus 2 cool points for failure to mention "Spectre of the Gun" from Star Trek TOS among the adaptations. That episode was my first and only exposure to the OK Corral story for many years, and for those who haven't seen it, the Earps and Holliday are portrayed as straight-up nasty villains in that. I was an adult before I caught on that Wyatt Earp was an American icon in the heroic vein, generally speaking.

Tombstone is by far the best version imo 😂...

Under one hour gang

*Good the bad and the ugly theme playing in my head*🤠

Did i just see a dude tank two rounds of 12 gauge buckshot

You know I have to look this up again because I could have sworn that Billy Clanton had at least 16 bullets in his body when he was killed. I guess I have to find that again.

You got to follow this up with a full series on Earp’s last ride

Even Star Trek got in n the act in the episode, “Spectre of the Gun”.

I did firearms training when I was enrolled in a private security academy, and they teach you that, in a gunfight, the first thing you have to do is seek cover. Don't just stand there blasting away, find something heavy to get behind first. But then they taught us about the gunfight at the OK Corral, and how Wyatt Earp was the only participant to not get shot. Why? Because he stood completely still while he blasted away, while all of his companions were jumping and running around. Thus their movements caught the Cowboys' eyes, and they shot at them. Whereas, since Wyatt stayed motionless, he didn't attract as much attention to himself, and he therefore went unnoticed and unshot. So the lesson they taught us was, in a Gunfight, always find cover and get behind it... Or don't! Sometimes it's better not to...

I grew up here! Its nice to see some arizona history

Tombstone Arizona was a very fun place to visit. It was cheap and entertaining. Basically you just walk around and find a reasonable place to have lunch. I would go back again if I still lived in arizona.

It's very likely not true. Wayne had a bit part in a movie John Ford was making in 1928, Mother Machree. Earp was on the set either just visiting Ford or actually as a consultant. It was there where Wyatt told the director about the OK Corral showdown, and the yet to be crowned Duke wasn't even on set. What's more likely is that Wayne was doing an impression of Earp based on everything he learned from John Ford, who was the one who actually had a relationship with the famous lawman.
