"Bullets were flying so fast that I could not keep track of them. Frank McLaury had given a yell when I shot him and made for the street with his hand over his stomach."

—Wyatt Earp

This booklet focuses on and explains the famous gunfight near the O.K. Corral, pulling together the most important material and putting it in chronological order to provide a better understanding of what the most famous gunfight in Western history was all about.

This is an easy-to-understand explanation of what really led to the shootout, what happened during the fight, the aftermath of the fight — including the bloody vendetta — and how circumstances were distorted to make the Earps and Doc Holliday look like they were the criminals. Much of this is in Wyatt's own historic words. There is also an analysis of the gunfight with shot-by-shot diagrams.

Discover how the gunfight actually began in Harwood's lumberyard and why it couldn't have taken place in the O.K. Corral, as some still claim today. Also find out why it's important that the fight didn't take place in the corral and how it was a stagecoach robbery, murder, and treachery that put the two groups on the collision course that ended in the deaths of eight men.

Not only is this an informative and enlightening examination of a significant event in a fascinating period of Western history, it is also very affordable.
