The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral-And How It Changed the American West

A New York Times bestseller, Jeff Guinnâ‚¬s definitive, myth-busting account of the most famous gunfight in American history reveals who Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons and McLaurys really were and what the shootout was all aboutâ‚¬"â‚¬Å“the most thorough account of the gunfight and its circumstances ever publishedâ‚¬Â (The Wall Street Journal)

On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot in Tombstone, Arizona, a confrontation between eight armed men erupted in a deadly shootout. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral would shape how future generations came to view the Old West. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons became the stuff of legends, symbolic of a frontier populated by good guys in white hats and villains in black ones. Itâ‚¬s a colorful storyâ‚¬"but the truth is even better.

Drawing on new material from private collectionsâ‚¬"including diaries, letters, and Wyatt Earpâ‚¬s own hand-drawn sketch of the shootoutâ‚¬s conclusionâ‚¬"as well as archival research, Jeff Guinn gives us a startlingly different and far more fascinating picture of what actually happened that day in Tombstone and why.
