"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. In a gun fight… you need to take your time in a hurry." ~ Wyatt Earp reflecting on the Shootout at the OK Corral (26 October 1881) |

"… When you pull a gun, kill a man…" (Character Actor Walter Brennan as the EVIL *Pater* Clanton in the 1940's movie version of the "OK Corral Duel"… "My Darling Clementine")… cough, cough… "I'M" your Daisy!" |

I thought it was: "I'm your huckleberry." |

Sadly almost all most folks know about this is the Earp's side (not surprising since they're the ones who wrote the books about it). I was reading a book about it a few years ago (I can't recall the name) but it went into great detail about how confused the situation in Tombstone was. Wyatt and Ike Clanton had been business partners for a while. Sheriff John Behan hated guns and violence and tried often to settle disputes peaceably and the fact that the Earps were far from universally loved and the Cowboys far from hated in the town. Some of the problems stemmed from the business dealings between the Earps and the Clantons and also the fact that Behan beat Wyatt a couple of times in election for Sheriff of the County. |
