This painting of the famous O K Corral Gunfight at Tombstone Arizona, 1881, has been the basis for arguements for more than half a century. It's about time somebody stopped it or tried to. Wyatt Earp told it to me on several occasions and in a few words, and the artist has interpreted my remarks as I gave them to him. The battle only lasted 30 seconds according to my friend Wyatt Earp. That's all there is to it. I don't know how fellows make movies and write books about it - one painting is enough.
