Lawmen face off against cattle rustlers in a gunfight at Arizona’s O.K. Corral
10.26.1881
In a showdown that helped define the Wild West, four lawmen, led by Wyatt Earp, his two brothers and a friend named Doc Holiday, decided to enforce a law banning the carrying of weapons in Tombstone, Ariz. That led to a shootout with a loose band of cattle rustlers and outlaws known as the Cochise County Cowboys, which included two sets of brothers. The 30-second gun battle resulted in the deaths of three of the cowboys and spawned decades of re-creations in pop culture.
