In reply to: Wyatt Earp the 7th 's message, "Hey pilgrim: how come you don't mention my great^7 grandfather????" on 12:51:17 03/03/03 Mon

Finally, the showdown came in the famed shoot-out at the OK Corral, in which Frank and Tom McLowery and Billy Clanton were cut down in 30 second of gunfire. Virgil, Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday were wounded, the latter carrying a sawed-off shotgun no bigger than a horse pistol in length. Ike Clanton and John Ringo skeeddaddled off into the cactus of Old Mexico, while Wyatt rode down and gunned to earth several other of the rustling empire. Old Man Clanton got his when Mexican caught him stealing their cattle.

Wyatt said he was tired and went on to San Diego, California, into the real estate business, and then on to Alaska, where he opened up the Dexter Saloon there. Finally, he came back to do some mining near Needles and to develop oil lands in Kern County.

I got word of Wyatt's passing in 1929. Although he had some 100 shoot-outs and trouble, he died with his boots off at the ripe old age of 81
