    26 October 1881 - SHOTS RING OUT NEAR A CORRAL IN TOMBSTONE: It's three
    hours past high noon on the streets of Tombstone, Arizona Territory,
    when lawmen 'Doc' Holliday and the Earp Brothers meet the Clanton-
    McLaury gang and their feud erupts. Thirty seconds later three are
    dead, three are wounded, and the Gunfight at the OK Corral enters Wild
    West lore.
