On October 26, 1881, the Earp brothers face off against the
Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the O.K.
Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

Sheriff John Behan of Cochise County, who witnessed the
shootout, charged the Earps and Holliday with murder. A
month later, however, a Tombstone judge found the men
not guilty, ruling that they were “fully justified in committing
these homicides.”

The famous shootout has been immortalized in many movies,
including Frontier Marshal (1939), Shootout at the O.K. Corral
(1946), Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), Tombstone (1993)
and Wyatt Earp (1994).

On October 6, 1866, the brothers John and Simeon Reno staged
the first train robbery in American history, making off with
$13,000 from an Ohio and Mississippi railroad train in Jackson
County, Indiana.

Of course, trains had been robbed before the Reno brothers’
holdup. But these previous crimes had all been burglaries of
stationary trains sitting in depots or freight yards.

Colt 45 the favorite gun of the train robbers.

On October 26, 1881, the Earp brothers faced off against the
Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the O.K.
Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

After silver was discovered nearby in 1877, Tombstone quickly
grew into one of the richest mining towns in the Southwest.

Wyatt Earp, a former Kansas police officer working as a bank
security guard, and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil, the town
marshal, represented “law and order” in Tombstone, though
they also had reputations as being power-hungry and ruthless.

The Clantons and McLaurys were cowboys who lived on a ranch
outside of town and sidelined as cattle rustlers, thieves and
murderers.
