Were any of you aware of this discovery? I was not, until tonight.

The image was taken six months before O.K. Corral, so this is as close as we'll get to seeing these two guys as how they looked at the time of the gunfight. Fascinating, and every indication is that it's authentic.

These stories always make me wonder how many of these pictures have been thrown away or are still undiscovered among other things in attics and basements.

Thanks Para, neat piece of history. I didn’t know about the tintype and curious what it & the Bee will fetch at auction.

An amazing photo. Should you ever find yourself in AZ, go to Tombstone. And be sure to visit the courthouse where the Earps were tried. Will be well worth your time.

Fascinating. I wish we had the ability to hear what their voices sounded like. I believe Doc was from the Valdosta area. I believe Wyatt lived until the 1930’s or so?

These old pictures are always interesting, even of nobodys.

I really enjoy the old pics of my town from that area and seeing what it was like then.

Seeing historical figures is cool as hell... Ol Doc, yeah he doesnt look so good
