We are really gonna go retro this week for it was on this day, October 26,1881 that the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place.
The grass roots of the legend was born to the fact that the west, back then, was pretty lawless, violent and extremely rugged. Marshals and sheriffs existed but they were the minority, often wary of reprisals so when three lawmen, three brothers squared off against 5 members of a gang of desperadoes called, The Cowboys, the legend was set in history.
Literature, radio/television shows and films have showcased the events but we went with what John thinks is the cream of the crop, the film Tombstone from 1993.
