I love visiting Morgan Earp, especially that he's resting locally from where I live.
Morgan Earp served as Tombstone Arizona's Special Policeman when he helped his brothers Virgil and Wyatt and Doc Holliday confront outlaws in the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral on October 26,1881. The lawmen killed Tom and Frank McLaury and Billy Clanton. Friends of the slain outlaws retaliated, and on December 29, they ambushed Virgil, leaving him with his left arm maimed. Two and a half months later, on March 18,1882, they ambushed Morgan, shooting him at night through a window while he was playing billiards and killed him. Those suspected in both shootings were let off on technicalities or lack of evidence. Morgan’s body was sent to his parents in Colton for burial.
