Nearly 50 years after the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral,
Wyatt Earp died quietly in Los Angeles at the age of 80.

The Earp brothers had long been competing with the Clanton-
McClaury ranching families for political and economic control
of Tombstone, Arizona, and the surrounding region.

On October 26, 1881, the simmering tensions finally boiled
over into violence, and Wyatt, his brothers Virgil and Morgan,
and his close friend, Doc Holliday, killed three men from the
Clanton and McLaury clans in a 30-second shoot-out on a
Tombstone street near the O.K. Corral (below).
