Thomas Clanton

Thomas Clanton, often referred to in association with the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, was a key figure in the American Old West. He was a member of the Clanton family, known for their involvement in cattle ranching and their contentious relationships with lawmen and rival factions in the town of Tombstone, Arizona. The Clantons were often seen as outlaws and engaged in conflicts with lawmen like Wyatt Earp. The O.K. Corral shootout in 1881 marked a significant event in the West, highlighting the tensions between law enforcement and those who operated outside of the law.
