Wyatt basically being lucky to live, and outlive, so many of his contemporaries that he's probably the only reason we know this shootout took place. Not just that, but he's basically the reason the Western became the definitive genre of early modern Hollywood. He was a consultant on a few early Westerns.

OK Corral sounds like a restaurant in Bikini Bottom with a solid 3/5 stars

Important thing to remember: Wyatt Earp was a man with a gift for tall tales about himself, and he was always buried in gambling debts, especially when he sold his life story to Hollywood. So any story you hear about him, that is told by him, you have to take with a MASSIVE grain of salt.

@eldorados_lost_searcher

5 ай бұрын

Additionally, the man who wrote Wyatt's biography only met him a handful of times before Wyatt passed, and the author relied on testimony from Wyatt's friends who were mourning him to fill out the rest of the book. However, Bat Masterson did say at one point, "The story of the West won't be complete until Wyatt Earp tells his story. And Wyatt isn't talking."

Good episode, but what bugs me is that it skips over the lead up to before this. The context of who the Clantons are and the cowboys, to not talking about Wyatt earp’s previous law experience in Dodge City. There’s so much information that’s skipped over, so people new to hearing about it don’t get the full picture or why the clantons are so dangerous. And why the Earps are experienced law men.

I'm already excited by what I've seen and hoping you give Virgil some more of the spotlight than takes on the story have usually given him. Compared to his younger brother he was the more experienced lawman and had also served in the civil war for the Union. I'm hoping someday you could do an entire series on reconstruction and just how important it was in shaping the trajectory of US history.

"It appears that poker is not your game, Ike. *I know,* let's have a *spelling contest!"*

I like this new upload schedule

I really like the way the script/narration went in this episode - it felt a bit more like Extra Literature or Extra Mythology than Extra History (I love the usual styles for all of those, though!). It also kind of reminded me of Chronicle of a Death Foretold by García Márquez, both in content (detailing the context of a crime, a web of offenses between drunken troublemakers) and in the writing itself.

OMG I have been trying to find a series talking about this subject for so long! Super excited you are covering it!

I was named after Wyatt Earp and have always wanted to know more about him so this video is fantastic

I'm watching this at my work which is less than half an hour away from Tombstone. It's a pretty fun place to spend a day at. Though I prefer Bisbee which is also close by and has some insane history too.

I haven’t watched this yet, but I can’t wait to (as someone who enjoys the movie as well)

Love this show. Anything they cover is Fine with me, always interesting

So excited for this miniseries/topic. I grew up having enjoyed the movie Tombstone but having sought more accurate information, and it's really neat to see a professional effort put to what I could only dive into at a glance. Thank you for working on an objective discussion of the events. I am also curious if you will get into the various land diaputes between county and town, as well as how each shootout belligerent was tied to them. Either way, thanks again!

I like how big you make Tombstone seem considering how small the town is n real life. I went there and drove right through town without realizing it and had to turn around to go back to town after driving an extra 15 minutes past town. If you blink you will miss it entirely.

amazing how as much as things have changed they are the same. Mankind is very similar culture changes but the inners start similars. This period is so cool because first time lots of people had easy access to small multiple shooting pistols, many were vets or son's of vets working a new peace of a new superpower working the far off. Buying those glinting fair price, finer than anything at so little labor cost, useful guns. "the great equalizer of the world." shame today is people getting revenge, bringing weapons scared to scrape. Just last week talking about how people would just throw fists bleed, and get on with their lives. No bodies, no cops.

Nice Video! I watched the movie and I was so confused but now I get it!

This was very cleverly done, although you got several facts wrong. For example, the night of the 25th, Ike, Tom McLaury and Virgil were all playing cards together. And you completely misrepresented Doc Holliday, who was not so easy to anger, and only ever killed three people in his entire life. But still, the animation was entertaining, and you got most of the story right!

As a native to Arizona, I believe I am required by law to be interested in the OK corral.

Being related to Doc Holliday, ive always been interested in hearing stories about him and of course the O.K. Corral comes up a LOT. But you folks have presented in 10 minutes the most interesting telling of the tale outside the movie Tombstone.

I was in Tombstone for a Red Dead Redemption event and it was really cool actually being there in person. It was very cool

The history of modern historians in tombstone is equally interesting. My mom used to go to tombstone all the time for her research. One of the historians she befriended was arrested a few years back because when his mom died, he just left her body to decay in the trailer where they lived together
