Denkin, Member Veronica Dahir, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the court proceeding that followed the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona on October 26, 1881, and its likely outcome if prosecuted under modern jurisprudence. During a month-long proceeding, Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with Wyatt’s close friend John Henry “Doc” Holliday, stood accused of murder in the deaths of William “Billy” Clanton, Frank McLaury, and Tom McLaury. Justice of the Peace Wells Spicer, applying the laws of the Territory of Arizona, determined after an evidentiary proceeding that there was no cause to believe the Defendants guilty, stating unequivocally that the killing of Clanton and the McLaurys had been “fully justified.” An analysis of the evidence, modern jurisprudence, and the influence of cultural and political factors on the original decision leads to the conclusion that the outcome might be different today.

  • “Wild West” and Their Relation to the Shootout at the OK Corral
    Six Shooters and Saddlebags: Violence and folk heroes of the “Wild West” and their relation to the Shootout at the O.K. Corral Ethan Stietz History 489 Research Seminar Professor: Dr. Louisa Rice Cooperating Professor: Dr. Joseph Orser Fall 2012 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, with the consent of the author. i Abstract Few periods throughout American history have been falsely represented with the amount of consistency as that of the land between the Mississippi River and Rocky Mountains between 1865 and 1900, also known as the “Wild West”. There are several aspects that have been falsely portrayed that have become mainstays in the mythology surrounding the “Wild West” especially the amount of violence. The violence claims that have been perpetuated to the public have over shadowed the positive aspects that the “Wild West” provided such as the Cattle industry, the Transcontinental Railroad and the Homestead Act. Those aspects are commonly falsely portrayed due to the presence and portrayal of folk heroes. With the common portrayal of the “Wild West”, it is seldom in which both folk heroes and the violence aspect are as prevalent as in the stories surrounding the Shootout at the O.K. Corral. ii Table of Contents Timeline iv The Making of Myth and Folk Heroes 1 The O.K.
