Love and Danger in the Old West
The stories in this book are about women who witnessed some of the most historic events in the old west. These characters include Calamity Jane, Big Nose Kate, Josephine Earp, and others. The lives they led were affected by the old west legends they married. These women found love but lived with anxiety and fear because of the dangerous world in which they lived. Some have been obscured by history while others became historic figures.

BookLocker.com, Inc. 2013 First Edition Chapter One: Rivals in Springfield It was the summer of 1865 and the War Between the States was over. Veterans of the fighting were returning home to pick up where they left off prior to four years of savage fighting. Of course, many of those who left home to join the conflict would not return. Others would return home with missing limbs and other wounds leaving them permanently disabled. Luckily, for the two subjects of this chapter, James Butler Hickok and Davis Tutt, they arrived in Springfield, Missouri after the war having both survived the war and escaped injury. -
Mining, Keno, and the Law
MINING, KENO, AND THE LAW The Tombstone Careers of Bob Winders, Charley Smith, And Fred Dodge, 1879-1888 By Robert F. Palmquist Published in the Journal of Arizona History, Vol. 24, Number 3, July-Sept 1997) 38, no. 2 (Summer 1197): pp 134-154, reprinted with permission of the author "MINING SUIT INVOLVING MILLIONS", trumpeted the headline of the June 26, 1909 Tombstone Prospector. The accompanying story declared that "perhaps the largest mining case ever filed in Arizona was instituted yesterday in the district court here." Dr. Thomas Winders, a thirty-seven-year-old San Francisco physician who had grown up in Tombstone, had filed the action against the Copper Queen Company on behalf of the estates of his father, Robert Jackways Winders, and stepfather, Origen Charles Smith. The lawsuit, the paper observed, "is one of a remarkable record and dates back to the early history of Bisbee and Tombstone". Ironically, this venture into "courtroom mining", in which the Winder-Smith heirs claimed $1,250,000 in damages, probably marked the closest that "Uncle Bob" Winders and "Hairlip[sic] Charley Smith ever approached to fortune. Although Smith and Winders never struck a bonanza, their decade of mining ventures in southern Arizona epitomizes the efforts of thousands of hopeful souls who swarmed the Arizona mining camps in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Tombstone careers of Bob Winders, Charley Smith, and their friend, Fred J. Dodge, in mining, gambling, and law enforcement during the years 1879 to 1888, provide a glimpse of this period's workaday world in the Arizona boom towns. -

Versteeg Title of document: BA Thesis Name of course: BA Thesis Date of submission: July 3, 2020 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Meggie van der Heijden Student number: S1008514 van der Heijden, S1008514/2 Abstract In this thesis, I will look at the process of constructing the romanticization of the American West between 1850-1900 to learn more about how the mythical “Wild West” came into being. The “Wild West” is usually one of the first aspects people will list when asked about the United States, and this is why it is in my opinion essential to the American narrative. One very important medium through which the public gets this mythical perspective of the Old West is through film. Therefore, I will analyze how the frontier myth is incorporated into the early 1990s blockbusters Dances with Wolves (1990), Unforgiven (1992), and Tombstone (1993). Following a New Historicist approach, I will learn that these films do not only perpetuate the frontier myth, but at the same I will find that they are products of the time period they were made in as they are much more critical of this exact same myth in the sense that they challenge key components of the frontier myth; such as masculinity, violence, and ecological imperialism. -
Tombstone by Tombstone
Tombstone by Tombstone John Oberland “Texas Jack” Vermillion ver fifty years ago a historical author identified the wrong man as “Texas Jack” Vermillion and this error went uncorrected until recently. If you search the in- Oternet today you will see that almost all of the websites will still identify Texas Jack as John Wilson Vermillion. Thanks to Peter Brand, a terrific old west historian and au- thor from Australia and his work with other historians such as Chuck and Jean Smith of Saf- ford, Arizona, Wayne Highsmith and the descendants of both John Wilson and John Ober- land Vermillion, we now know the identity of the real Texas Jack. So now some of you are asking, “Who is Texas Jack Vermillion?” He was many things and, in the opinion of this author, not many of them were good. The thing that he is most noted for is being a member of Wyatt Earp’s murderous posse that went on what is known as the Vendetta Ride following the maiming of Virgil Earp and the murder of Morgan Earp. Vermillion was born on October 31, 1845, to William Vermillion and his second wife, Mary McClain. Family records say he was born in Ohio, but he always stated and believed he was born in Virginia. John O. Vermillion enlisted in the Union Army at Columbus, Ohio, on February 29, 1864. He became a private in Company E, 122nd Regiment, Ohio Infantry and was paid a bounty of $60 for enlisting and was owed another $240. The 122nd did most of its fighting in Virginia and it suffered heavy casualties, including Vermillion’s bunk partner. -

Corral *Earp Vendetta Ride John Henry "Doc" Holliday (August 14, 1851 – November 8, 1887) was an American gambler, gunfighter and dentist of the American Old West, who is usually remembered for his friendship with Wyatt Earp and his involvement in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Early life and education "Doc" Holliday was born in Griffin, Georgia, to Henry Burroughs Holliday and Alice Jane Holliday (née McKey).[1] His father served in the Mexican–American War and the Civil War.[2] His family baptized him at the First Presbyterian Church in 1852.[3] In 1864 his family moved to Valdosta, Georgia.[3] Holliday's mother died of tuberculosis on September 16, 1866, when he was 15 years old.[1] Three months later his father married Rachel Martin.

Occupation Gambler, lawman, saloon keeper, gold/copper miner Years active 1865–1897 Opponent(s) William Brocius, Frank McLaury Spouse Urilla Sutherland (wife) Celia Ann "Mattie" Blaylock (Common-law wife) Josephine Sarah Marcus (Common-law wife) Children none Signature Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929) was an American gambler, investor, and law enforcement officer who served in several Western frontier towns. He was also at different times a farmer, teamster, bouncer, saloon-keeper, miner and boxing referee. He is best known for his role in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral along with Doc Holliday and two of his brothers, Virgil Earp and Morgan Earp. During the 30-second gunfight they shot and killed three outlaw cowboys that they had been feuding with for several months. He and his brother Warren were also noted for the vendetta against those they believed were responsible for maiming Virgil and killing Morgan. Although his brother Virgil had far more experience as a sheriff, constable, and marshal,[1] because Wyatt outlived Virgil and due to a creative biography written by Stuart Lake that made Wyatt famous, he has been the subject of and model for a large number of movies, TV shows, biographies and works of fiction. Wyatt's modern-day reputation is that of Old West's "toughest and deadliest gunmen of his day." Wyatt Earp 2 Early life Wyatt Earp was born in Monmouth, Illinois, on March 19, 1848, to widower Nicholas Porter Earp and Virginia Ann Cooksey (who were wed on July 30, 1840, in Hartford, Kentucky). -
