Clanton family

The Clanton family was a prominent group in the American Old West, known for their involvement in cattle ranching and lawlessness in the late 19th century. They gained notoriety in the 1880s in Tombstone, Arizona, particularly through their association with the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in 1881. Members of the family, including brothers Ike and Billy Clanton, clashed with lawmen like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, leading to significant tensions. Their legacy is tied to the broader themes of conflict and lawlessness that characterized the frontier era.
