October 26 marks the 130th anniversary of the Shootout at the OK Corral. Historians disagree on the reason for the gunfight. Some say it was simply in revenge for malicious attacks and insults, others say it was a battle to decide who would control the direction Tombstone, AZ would take. The gunfight itself only lasted about 30 seconds, but the good guys were obviously the victors. Tombstone was not going to be controlled by cattle rustlers.
Did you have ancestors living in Tombstone? Was one of the Earp brothers or a member of the McLaury-Clanton Gang a relative? Could the outcome have changed your family's lives had the outcome been different?
