Been awhile since anything new was posted here.

Ironically been busy with everything historical, but not el paso. Doing research on the southern road / cookes wagon road especially during the gold rush period. Ben Dowell made the trip twice, to and from California.

Also researching 1869/1870 mining claims and company's in southern New Mexico.

Today in 1881...
The arrest gone bad im Tombstone Arizona.
The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a 30-second shootout between lawmen and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys.
When the smoke cleared...Billy Clanton and both McLaury brothers were killed. Ike Clanton claimed that he was unarmed and ran from the fight, along with Billy Claiborne and Wes Fuller. Virgil, Morgan, and Doc Holliday were wounded, but Wyatt Earp was unharmed.
