Who took part in the gunfight at the OK Corral and who survived?

Stew54

Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, and Doc Holliday went to disarm Ike Clanton, Billy Clanton, Frank McLaury, and Tom McLaury. Billy Clanton and both the McLaury brothers were killed and all three are buried in Tombstone's Boothill Graveyard. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday were unhurt. Virgil and Morgan Earp were both injured, but survived, though within months both were ambushed in separate incidents that left Virgil crippled and Morgan dead. Ike Clanton, who escaped unscathed from the gunfight was implicated in the attempt to assassinate Virgil but not convicted. Jan 06 04, 3:54 PM

Sorry Joey, I overlooked the fifth "bad guy" Billy Claiborne, who also survived. They were certainly a bloodthirsty lot. There's a synopsis of the gunfight on this link which is fairly even handed. It indicates that Doc Holliday was also grazed by a bullet, and that of those still standing there when the shooting stopped only Wyatt Earp was uninjured (Ike Clanton and Billy Claiborne both fled as soon as the gunfight began - either because they were unarmed or because they threw down their weapons in fear depending on which version you believe). The most common bit of trivia associated with this is that the gunfight didn't take place at the OK Corral, but in a street nearby. http://www.wyomerc.com/bookranch/news/BR_Roundup_1.htm Jan 06 04, 4:05 PM
