The Legend of the O.K. Corral
A few deadly minutes in 1881, and the shooting was all over. But no, in fact it wasn’t. That brief gunfight outside the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, still reverberates today. Literally--it’s reenacted daily on the streets of Tombstone, “The town too tough to die”. It’s also constantly replayed in biographies, novels, movies, television shows, poems, comic books, websites, and even video games. Clearly the shootout has passed from history into myth. But is that myth the American Iliad or something else entirely? And by the way, what really happened in 1881?
Taking a fresh new look at this old Western story, Ed Finn starts with a phone call...to Wyatt Earp himself.
