Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a famous 30-second shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, in 1881, involving the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday against Clanton-McLaurin cowboys. Tensions over law enforcement and criminal activity led to the confrontation, which took place near the O.K. Corral. Despite its brevity, it became a legendary symbol of the wild, lawless American West. The fight ended with the Earps and Holliday victorious, but it also heightened ongoing conflicts and laws struggles between settlers, lawmen, and outlaws in the frontier town.
