Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 36. Chapters: Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Earp Vendetta Ride, Johnny Ringo, Virgil Earp, Frank Stilwell, Morgan Earp. Excerpt: The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a roughly 30-second gunfight that took place at about 3:00 p.m. on October 26, 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona Territory of the United States. Although only three men were killed during the gunfight, it is generally regarded as the most famous gunfight in the history of the Old West and has come to represent a time in American history during which the frontier was open range for outlaws who were confronted by law enforcement that was often spread thinly or nonexistent. The gunfight was relatively unknown to the American public until 1931 when author Stuart Lake published what has since been determined to be a largely fictionalized biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal, two years after Wyatt's death. Lake retold his story in 1946 in a book that director John Ford developed into the movie My Darling Clementine. After the movie Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was released in 1957, the shootout came to be known by that name. The conflict has since then been portrayed with varying accuracy in numerous Western films and books. Despite its name, the gunfight actually began in a narrow lot six doors down Fremont Street from the rear entrance to the O.K. Corral. The two opposing parties were initially only about 6 feet (1.8 m) apart. About thirty shots were fired in thirty seconds. Ike Clanton and Billy Claiborne ran from the fight, unharmed. Frank and Tom McLaury and Billy Clanton were killed; Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday were wounded and survived. The Earps and Doc Holliday were charged by Billy Clanton's brother, Ike Clanton, with murder but were eventually exonerated by a local judge after a 30-day preliminary hearing and then again by a local grand jury.
