They won't canoes short, so fine, Josh, there's charters Jerry, let's get to a giddy draw Joy needs to pin that's pretty again laser repeater laser, so We're talking about the gun fired at the ok corral, I've been there. You ve been there now you ve been there sure. Well, what's it like dusty I'll bet, I was demonstrated Deston height, further tumbleweed sure everywhere. Varmints up, you wouldn't believe the Romans Rapscallion says Berlin. Although gets that life has ever tasted cesspool should and can repair. That's what I've always thought, but I don't I don't know.

Sure I think I had one back then, but I remember that that's when I was a child, but we are talking about the gunfight. It ok corral. The very sees me famous gunfight between thee, the herbs and Doc holiday in the cowboys very simplistic way to look at this, which was in the otherwise pretty good house of works. Short article is, you know the herbs or the good guys back ass were the other guys wrong there, new ones. They Erica's the herbs and I think, like most law, men of the time out west me now they're criminals to sometimes they were the the thing a differentiated was the badge and the fact that they were able to enforce the law.

Not to say that they were all awful people and they were poor thieves and you known no good causes. Is this article says when the bad guys, but there was definitely, I think I was kind of few and far between where he had a truly just and righteous Alarmin was a wider. He had been run out of California for horse thieving, so he was an actual horse thief. He moved a Wichita anymore. So there for three years before you run out of Wichita for corruption, and then he ended up in tombstone his brother Virgil was the marshal they tried and then why it, And his brother Morgan became basically deputy marshals under their brother and they kind of selectively enforce the law, but when it came to those cowboys, the Clanton gang is another way to put it, they enforce the law. Extra. Do you,

Did you sleep very frequently here? They also had a buddy named John Henry Holiday, he's from Griffin went by the name of doc. I was yet dent hit his dental offices, stilling Griffin, things like you. You seem so he was a. He was good with a gun and not shy with the trigger finger, and we should mention the bad guys. You said the Clanton gang was up a mainly Billy Clay born, and then I can Billy clan and then Frank and the glory and they weren't dislike. You know low life cowboys. They were actually from wealthy, ranging families from what I understand yeah. But do you know it was sort of a thing back in the day. I guess you could still be a rich low life really yeah. They can be they're everywhere. These these two groups of men did not like each other, though, for a four year in tombstone, they really went through a population explosion. When someone found,

not golden them. Dart hills but silver get enough good enough at the time, and they said we need some law enforcement, and it was literally the wild West out there at the time. Another that word is used a lot like it's the wild west and pod jesting. Here with all these shootouts share, you Norman, you know his quick on the draws at Roman, Mars, sure and BP neck as good but they went to the town leaders and they had a lot of the town leaders on their side. They went to Virgil and Wyatt Earp Psyche, geyser Mina good enough. I guess yeah, you ve done it before and you're, not afraid to shoot. Someone in the face right so go shoot him in the faint right boys. So you ve got like this. This sir history of of running between the herbs and the cowboys there was bad blood between am I right.

Elsewhere. That Wyatt Earp, head designs on becoming sheriff of a neighbouring town or neighbouring county and so he wanted to make his name by bringing the Clanton gang down so actually went to eight Clanton and said: hey wanted. You turn Your brother and the rest of the gang members and I'll make sure that you get off. You know Scot free and amazing, What did you say? Apparently I was thinking about it. There was a great Kenilworth but I was thinking about it, but he ended up not doing it. So why realise that he was in a

of a pickle here, because it would harm his reputation if it was found out that he was making charter the table deals with bandits, and so he decided there I needed to go the evidence against him. Ike sure needed to be robbed out. So that's basically from what I saw the actually led to this gunfight at the ok corral that the earth boys were spoiling for fight. They were actually stocking the Clinton gang that day the herbs yeah. Alright, let's take a break and will come back and talk about what happened, not high noon, but about three o clock. I guess it was highly somewhere on October, twenty six eighteen, eighty one

So say with us: everybody just go to stamps dot com click at the microphone on the top of the homepage and type in ready asked. Why asked

Kay here we got you that stamped. I come into s. Why, as Kay, Hurry so here's the deal tombstone, it was against the law to carry weapons in tombstone in eighteen, eighty one city which is shocking that they know about at moment, so Virgil, herb and Virgil was the he was the marshal at the time he said cowboys. You know you're not supposed to have your guns

And there was some other running that day there were a couple of violent pistol, whippings of eye and Tom. I Clayton Atomic Larry we're gonna beat down by the herbs earlier in the day you I didn't. I didn't see anything about that elsewhere, but well it's. It basically came to a head it about three o clock on October, twenty six, and this is crazy to think that, but the gunfight it ok corral lasted about thirty seconds there about thirty to forty shots fired between. How many guys was it? Six! No there was more like eight or nine, but estimate say that they were about six feet apart. When another, can you imagine there just in a little circle, basically despoilers unity, that the staff, I'm surprised they often end up dead. A couple of them did. I know that both as I think both of the Clanton brothers ended up dead right.

Billy Clanton died and then both MC glory, brothers or cared three. The cowboys died, need none of the herbs die, but why it got off Scot free. He had no scratches on em, Virgil, almost died, he got shot through the back and just narrowly missed. Spine right now that was Morgan. Ok, Virgil get hit in the leg; ok, but yet Morgan, it just was like a through shot, but I mean who I am sure that felt great, yet dot got a little scrape and I think he said like Wyatt. You know this is Kevin Costner, be of some pretty terrible, shooting right there from sixty to eighty six feet, so yeah. That's that's! Basically, like closing rising, just firing link in a direction that level of of contact you would have seen my boots spurs running in the other direction. Right was in a zigzag pattern, so the the shooter that ok corral lasted thirty seconds. It was not at high noon and

other little known fact is that it wasn't even at the ok. Rail is an a vacant lot behind the corral between a boarding house in a photo studio. Really, I don't think I knew them true. It was in an open mills afterward dog holiday, went and got a picture where it's like face on and then up corner he looking off in another in the moon. Oh here's how it apparently went down and second said those brothers are Mcclaren. Clinton had been pistol whipped early in the day, the cowboys came into town, pretty ticked off about this and kind of looking for a fight supposedly, but also supposedly, the herbs were just like waiting to start a fight with these guys yeah. Actually, the herbs were almost charged with murder, fanatic and there I think, Ike. He said I survived right. Yes, I claim a couple days later: format

accused the herbs of murder, basically saying that they had ambushed the cowboys. That's right. There are a lot of eye witnesses, but there was one kind of apparently important eyewitness name He bore Linden and she said quote. Then see anyone holding up their hands. They all seem to be firing in general. Both sides right there were firing on both sides at each other right. So what the historians think actually happened is that the urban came upon the clans, who were caught by surprise right in the urban said, drop your weapons.

Stop firing right, but they usually set it out loud then started firing before they even had a chance to drop their weapons. The they Clanton gang search, firing back right, but again they were ambushed, they were caught by surprise and they were given a chance to actually surrender, and so there were kind of some things in there in the favour of a case of murder against the herbs. But the thing they got them off is that earlier witnesses had overheard the clan and saying that they were gonna, kill right, so the herbs like see this is all just self defense. Yet there was an actual hearing because of that that call for murder timely name, please, justice of the peace well spice her pure at a hearing- and he basically said now you know what it seems to me like they were. Within their rights as marshals and what they called special policemen to do. Their duty

and because of Addy Berlin's testimony- and you know I Clanton came out and he had his own testimony, but it looks like they do. You knows: Frontier justice decided on the corner court law here. Think I Clinton said that he and his brother in gang members had their hands up. I'm were still fired upon and and those lady boiling, would at least one other might not have had a weapon depending on where you are right on the cowboy side? Yet so that's how I went down the gun fight at the ok corral in a vacant.

At three p m the tried and later on? There was an attempt to assassination attempt on Virgil Herb in December of that same year, Morgan Herb was murdered in a billiard club in early eighteen. Eighty two and everyone is cycle that is clearly the work of a Clanton. Although who knows because its frontier justice, it could have been anything he could have just nor too loud. I'm sure the brothers had more more enemies than just I clan, but people still suspect that it was him and ass for Clanton. He was killed in eighteen. Eighty, seven in Arizona territory by detective and Wyatt Earp lived until nineteen, twenty nine, the ripe old age of eighty, where he died. Where else LOS Angeles where he was.
