Situation:
You’re facing a man with a killer’s reputation, believed to have shot one or two of the famed Earp Brothers and gotten away with it … and now, hereaches for the Winchester in his rifle scabbard.

Lessons:
Grateful that the notorious outlaw was dead, Western authorities accepted the accounts of his death that they were given. However, for serious researchers,and for Clanton descendents, questions linger.

In the October, 2008 issue of Wild West magazine, writer Johnny D. Boggs said, “Since 1939 eight theatrical movies have depicted (Wyatt) Earp and the so-called gunfight at the O.K. Corral.” Few of them cared much what happened to the key instigator of that famous fight, Joseph Isaac “Ike” Clanton. The most popular such film was 1993’s Tombstone with Kurt Russell. At the end of it, Ike Clanton is racing in terror ahead of the horses of the pursuing Earp posse, desperately throwing his “gang colors,” a red sash, behind him as a humiliating peace offering. As the movie comes to a close, the mellifluous voice of narrator Robert Mitchum tells us that Ike was killed “two years later,” while committing a robbery.

Well, as with so many things in a movie that provided more entertainment than history … not quite.
