Title: Last meal
Post by: MikeBjerum on October 26, 2012, 01:38:34 PM

Assuming a typical 20th/21st century life pattern, which I'm sure it wasn't:

At this time (1:30pm, central) Frank McLaury, Tom McLaury and Billy Clanton were enjoying their last meal.

At 3:00 pm mst (approximate time), October 26, 1881, these three died at the OK Corral in Tombstone, AZ.

Was it that late ?
I thought it was before noon.

I always thought it was slightly after noon....accounts vary.


*On a side note, my great-grandmother (who taught me the grand game of checkers, using Coke bottle caps for checkers) was 6 months old at the time.
