[Old Sarge]

It was taken circa 1932 by photographer John Walker and shows the location of the sight

Sight? What sight was there to see at the site? And with what sight did they see it? Or did we cite this wrong?

Neat stuff.

Things always look so shabby in black and white. But then by the 1920s, Tombstone had fallen on pretty hard times. Once the mines played out, almost everybody left.

Interesting....we just spent two days in Tombstone...those Earp brothers were NOT the good guys often portrayed in movies....and...the OK Corral shootout really was a MINOR incident....70 people died on the main street in Tombstone in a two year period during the time they were there...

It appears the "Melkotians" did pretty well with their facade of Tombstone. Those photos really look like a run-down, rarely used Hollywood studio back lot.

It's interesting that DeForest Kelley, veteran of many westerns, turned out to be perhaps the only actor to appear on both sides of that particular gunfight.

Ever wonder what happened to the dearly beloved, murdering horse thief and cattle rustler, Ike Clanton?

There is a 40 minute video about the gunfight corral available for viewing on line at

It was a small area so it’s amazing only 3 died in those few seconds. The tv show, “Diggers”, went over the ground with their metal detectors. The two digger hosts are a bit over the top but the locales are interesting.

This is remembered because of the colorful lawmen and badmen fighting the less colorful badmen. But it is far from the largest or bloodiest battles that took place in Arizona.

First (July, 1776) and Second and subsequent Battles of the Presidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate (Spanish v. Apache). Lots of Spanish and Apaches killed.

Battle of Big Dry Wash (aka “Big Dry Fork”) (resulting in four Medals of Honor.) About 60 Apache warriors vs. 350 US Cavalry.

The Pleasant Valley War (aka “The Graham-Tewksbury feud”). Some 20-34 killed. Both families about wiped out.

The Attack on the Apache Fortress (1872), 76 dead Apaches.
