You want a straightforward adventure story with clear heroes and villains rather than complicated people making difficult choices.

About this book

Jeff Guinn's account examines the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, which took place on October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot in Tombstone, Arizona. The confrontation involved eight armed men and has become the most famous shootout in American history, shaping how future generations viewed the Old West. Guinn draws on new material from private collections, including diaries, letters, and Wyatt Earp's hand-drawn sketch of the shootout's conclusion, along with archival research. The book presents details about who Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons and McLaurys actually were, and what the shootout was truly about. The account differs from the legendary versions that portrayed the Old West as populated by clear-cut heroes and villains.
