October 26: 3 PM (duration: 30 seconds)…in Tombstone, Arizona.
The most “famous” gunfight of the Old West…Sheriff (City Marshal) Virgil Earp and two very newly deputized assistant sheriffs, his brother Wyatt Earp plus Doc Holliday—in shootout with four rustler–cowboys.
The rustler–cowboys are Frank (McLaury), Tom (McLaury), Claiborne and Clanton… Three of the four rustler–cowboys, the McLaury brothers and Clanton, killed in the gunfight. The 4th, Claiborne, killed in an unrelated gunfight the following year, in 1882—in the same town.
