PHOENIX (AP) -- A missing handwritten transcript from a coroner's inquest done after the legendary gunfight at the OK Corral has resurfaced in a dusty box more than 125 years after the most famous shootout in Wild West history. The document resurfaced when court clerks stumbled on the box while reorganizing files in an old jail storage room in Bisbee, about 20 miles south of Tombstone. Stuffed inside was a modern manila envelope marked "keep" with the date 1881.

Val Kilmer set the standard for Doc Holliday.
interesting.
This is just the AP’s way of reminding us that 100 years from now we will still be finding documents from the Obama Administration that they were trying to hide.

there is new info on Tombstone and that Kirk Russell had more to do with the movie than previously thought Too a blu ray version is coming out
I still have my LD of it which has footage of Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday not available on any other video format
Sad cause the goofy guy FU his career. Must be the wacky weed.
Maybe AZ can find Hussein’s BC. It seems lik ethey are trying.
And Doc Holliday set the standard for taglines!
I’m probably alone in thinking the long Kevin Costner Wyatt Earp film is better, and that Dennis Quaid was great as Doc Holiday, his only great performance.
The Costner film was quirky but more true to life.
it was a bomb and Costner was jealous about Tombstone being made at the same time that he tried to use his influence to kill it
Tombstone made money
Wyatt Earp lost $ big time

I've got a daughter who lives on a piece of property next door (out in the woods...) to one of the Clanton Gang descendents. She tells me that they regularly go around their property shooting off their weapons and "marking" their territory (apparently making sure that anyone knows that they're "loaded and ready" ... LOL ...).
And, by the way, it would appear that the descendents of the Clanton gang dispute some of the history that has come down about the Gunfight at the OK Corral and say that it was the Earps who were the criminals... :-)
Do you know anything about the Clantons out in New Mexico way? :-)
Boot hill in Tombstone is pretty cool to visit some of the signs on the graves were interesting
Tombstone ping!
That story about the Clantons is somehow ... comforting ... in a “some things never change” sense.
only if he’s played by yummy karl urban
