Seen by some as a vicious murderer and by others as a
gallant Robin Hood, the famous outlaw Jesse Woodson
James was born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County,
Missouri.

Doc Holliday committed his first murder, killing a man for
shooting up his New Mexico saloon.

Despite his formidable reputation as a deadly gunslinger,
Doc Holliday only engaged in eight shootouts during his
life, and it has been verified that he killed two men.

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929)

American West lawman Wyatt Erp led the 1881 gunfight at
the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

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).

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).
