“Whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle’s van, The fittest place for man to die Is when he dies for man.”
Tom Clavin, Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West

“Before the end of the day there will take place what became known as the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral … All Ike Clanton needed, and had really been seeking all morning, was an audience. He launched into a soliloquy: “You fellows haven’t given me any show at all. You’ve treated me like a dog. Fight is my racket, and all I want is four feet of ground. If you fellows had been a second later, I would have furnished a coroner’s inquest for the town. I will get even with all of you for this. If I had a six-shooter now, I would make a fight with all of you.”
Tom Clavin, Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell

“There would ultimately be three main hideouts, and they would be connected by what came to be known as the Outlaw Trail. It extended from Canada to Mexico, and unlike other such trails elsewhere in the U.S., this one, according to Charles Kelly, “was provided with better hideouts, was used by more outlaws,”
Tom Clavin, Bandit Heaven: The Hole-in-the-Wall Gangs and the Final Chapter of the Wild West
