OSPREY RAID 41: TOMBSTONE. WYATT
EARP, THE O.K. CORRAL AND THE VENDETTA RIDE, 1881-82
by Sean McLachlan
The Gunfight at the OK Corral on 26
October 1881 is one of the most enduring stories of the Old
West. It led to a series of violent incidents that culminated in
the Vendetta Ride, in which Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and
several other gunslingers went after their rivals, the Cowboys.
Wyatt Earp, leader of the so-called "good guys”, was charged
with stealing horses in the Indian Territory in 1870 and jumped
bail. Becoming a buffalo hunter and gambler, he got into several
scrapes and earned a reputation as a gunfighter. Illustrated by
Mark Stacey and Johnny Shumate.
