Great show had fun shooting it come back any time yup
I grew up seeing Tombstone as we passed through, on the way to and from nearby Douglas, where my father was born and raised. My parents gave me a copy of ‘Tombstone-An Iliad of the Southwest. I walked the streets of Tombstone as a kid and stood where those 30 shots had been exchanged in less than 30 seconds. I didn’t need the TV Westerns to become enamored with the Old West. I believe that the myths that grew out of this gunfight and the Hickock/Tutt shootout got conflated with the formal duels fought by ‘gentlemen’ of leisure’ up until the Civil War. (Remember Hamilton/Burr?). This gave birth to the classic walk-down gunfights in countless Westerns. As for what actually happened, I believe the Discovery Channel got as close as possible with their analysis, as part of the ‘Unsolved History’ series. The old History Channel series, ‘Tales of the Gun’ also looked at the fight, and even interviewed HughO’Brian, who played Earp in the old TV Western. The Technical Advisor on that show? Stuart Lake, who immortalized Earp in his well-known autobiography. As you noted, Michael, the legend will always win out.
Wow, Great town Tombstone sure brings back memories.
I really enjoyed the show and
David Hight was great!
