- Virgil Earp became famous for his role in the Tombstone conflict with the cowboy gang, but this was not the first time facing danger. Virgil Earp had been a veteran of the Civil War, and then turned to becoming a lawman of the wild west. Virgil Earp survived the gunfight near the O.K. Corral and an assassination attempt that left his arm crippled. But Virgil still led an interesting life afterwards, still acting as a lawman and still seeking his fortune in wild west mining towns. Learn the particulars of Virgil Earp's fate after Tombstone, his time in Goldfield Nevada, and about his death from pneumonia.
Thank you for reporting on and correcting all of the newspaper reports & obituaries. Thank you for this and all your videos; from another Virgil, being named for Virgil Earp.
Can’t get enough of the Earp boys! One of my sisters Sandra and I visited Tombstone in November 2021. We stayed at the Virgil Bed & Breakfast Inn. Each room is named after them, nice hospitality and breakfast. It is good hearing so much about Virgil Earp. I know you have a lot on your plate; do you think one day you can present us with something on the Earp’s parents? I always wonder how they felt with their sons being lawmen. Again, thanks for another story about times of the Wild Wild West! Keep them coming. ❤
Maybe down the road I can do a video on Nicholas Earp, I know he moved around a lot and there are some interesting facts about him
Hell yeah! I’d love to visit there now
Nicholas Earp was a lawyer, lawman, political figure during his lifetime. In addition he was a farmer and a restless person who moved around the Midwest before finally setting in California.
His sons seem to have been very much like him although not much has been written of the oldest Earp son Newton.
Newton was a half brother as his mother died. The rest of the Earp brothers were born to Nicholas Earp’s second wife Virginia Anne Cooksey.
The boys including Newton were:
Newton, Virgil, James, Wyatt, Morgan and Warren. There were several sisters as well. It seems the Earps were prolific breeders LOL!
@@PR-BEACHBOY it would have been nice to hear from the Legacy of the West CZcams Channel Owner. Get your own channel.
Thanks again for the history of the old west.
I didn't know Virgil was born in Hartford, KY; I lived there for several years, and my wife was born there. I met her at a dance I was playing 38 years ago. I saw her dancing and was immediately smitten.
Great content, as always.
That was very informative and enjoyable. Thanks. Cheers from Oz 👍
Awesome! Great to hear about Virgil. You should record a video on Allie Earp, she also lived a long and interesting life
Awesome, I never had heard about him being injured in a mine cave in.
Nice write up. It makes me chuckle that the press couldn't even get facts right back then either!
What are the "facts" according to you?
I cannot stop watching these videos. They're so informative and presented in a way that I can remember the facts. I'd love to visit some of these places. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks! Yeah there's a lot of places I'd like to go visit too-a lot of history in the west.
Loved it, thanks :)
I want to thank you. Due to your and Ben Hardy's review of the Silverado 1500 with the 3.0 persuaded me to purchase one and I could not be more pleased with it, its drivability, and performance.
Good work, really enjoyed this video!
Have some relatives buried at the same cemetery and we visited his grave when we were there a couple of years ago. He certainly led an interesting life.
My ex-Mother in Law is also buried in the same cemetery.
Good story, well researched.
I like the accurate information I get from this channel. That's why it's one of my favorites.
Thank you!
I had no idea he was buried in Portland, really good info.
How do you know when you live in a tough area? When a reporter uses the euphemism
of "scrimmage" (verb) to describe the violent, mayhem of that era.
Thank you very much for this video.
The infos are very good😊
Thank you for this great video it brought to light some things I didn't know about Virgil. It's also refreshing to hear someone pronounce Prescott, Arizona correctly. Born and raised in Arizona.
Nice presentation, well done!
Amazing research. Interesting material!
Thanks
Wonderful profile
Excellent 👍 🤠
Wow! I never knew the Daily Mail went so far back.
Well done
Groovy video
There's a little house in Colton CA on H st that used to belonged to the Earp's. The house is still there on Hst and 4th.
River view cemetery in Portland Oregon is a gorgeous cemetery. Some huge monuments where rich people were trying to outdo each other. Henry Winehardt the beer baron is buried there along with a dozen or so famous people.
I enjoyed this.
This channel is so interesting to me, probably because Jesse James is buried just up the road from me and the Dalton's boys not all that far away.
Thank you. Not enough info on Wyatt. You filled in the blanks for me...
Seems the media couldn't get it right back then,neither.
i think it's pretty neat that these western personalities, living during the 1800's with all the wildness of the west, living until the 1900's. i had a aunt that was alive in the late 1800's, but never talked about her life, she passed away at 87-88 years old. she actually had confederate money she kept in a small lock box. as a kid, i thought that was pretty cool.
Use to work there , cleaned his grave many time's Nice and peaceful were he is , under the shade of a tree .
I worked on Lida ranch back in the early 90s. Lida ranch was just under a million acres of wild cattle. Gold Field was on the ranch. One day gathering cattle I rode my horse through outskirts of the town and I found an old whiskey bottle that was about 100 years old. It had been laying there in the sun and turned the glass a pinkish blue from all those years. I gave it to my mom. I don't know where it is now since my mom passed away in 2006.
But it was pretty cool riding horseback in that country where all of the historical old timers tread before me.
Lida ranch is gone now. Only the memories left.
It's really cool to find a piece of history like that
it's probably in a land fill to be honest
That's where a lot of stuff went, a lot of farms/ranches had their own refuse piles-maybe somebody will dig them up eventually@@richardkimble1191
Love to know who the music is by, love that tune.
"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" by Zachariah Hickman
Thanks 👍 much appreciated 🇬🇧
I suggest that the name the obit writer couldn’t recall was that of Doc Holiday!
Good point!
wot about hugh obrien ?
These guys got around
Back in the mid-1980s, I had a chance to shoot a Richards conversion cap and ball revolver that had been converted to cartridge firearm. Was not a particularly pretty gun, it was in 44 Winchester Centerfire. Otherwise known as 4440. It was natural pointing single action pistol, as most are, and was a comfortable firearm to shoot. The owner had documentation with the firearm, both from Colt firearms and from his great-grandmother. His great-grandmother used to live down the road from Virgil Earp and Virgil Earp had given the firearm to her when he upgraded his firearm. I don't remember too many more of the details, suffice it to say that this man was shooting a firearm it was probably worth 35 to $45,000 at the time and probably approaches half a million or more today. I still remember how easy it was to poop that firearm in a highly reasonable accurate fashion. Maybe it was because my favorite firearm by then and still today is Blackhawks and Super Blackhawk, and I'm still thinking about having a peacemaker built-in 3840 with an extra cylinder in 40 Smith. That to me would be the ultimate single action combat pistol. You could actually reload it from a magazine at fire to and reload to and keep up a really good rate of fire that way. I used to practice that a bit years ago, it is actually quite a competent way to fight with a single action.
like Lincoln....kentucky...not illinois.
Wasn't Virgil shot thru' both shoulders while Morgan was shot thru' leg@OK Corral? Doc Holliday suffered flesh wound to hip while Wyatt wasn't hit.
Virgil got shot in the leg and Morgan got hit in both shoulders
It's my understanding that Tombstone Dr. Goodfellow (yes, his real surname) treated the Earps' & Holliday after the OK Corral Gunfight (actually the vacant lot to the rear of the Corral but facing open to Fremont Street). According to the Dr., Virgil received a gunshot wound ACROSS both shoulders & a spinal vertebrae in between. This probably occurred from him standing profile & slightly forward when struck. There was also a Coroner's Inquest performed on the dead Billy Clanton & Tom & Frank McLaury, but I don't remember if it was performed by Dr. Goodfellow or another physician. Goodfellow later moved to & practiced in Tucson & earned a reputation for being an excellent trauma surgeon especially skilled in treating abdominal gunshot wounds.
From "Wyatt Earp: The Life Behind the Legend" by Casey Tefertiller, pg. 123: "Virgil had been shot cleanly through the calf and Holliday just grazed. Morgan's wound proved far more severe. The bullet entered through one shoulder, chipped a vertebra, and passed through the other shoulder." @@gregdzialo9998
Good?
Hell in them days they were real men no matter what side of the law they were on . They make rambo look like a schoolgirl R.I.P.virgil wyhatt Morgan doc and even Ringo and the clantons . Growing up in england in the 50s and 60s we were weined on american cowboy t v programs
How about Clarence earp. where did he go after Mayberry.
Great job,,thus is the life in early USA.
Lol, the Bisbee Daily Review lying out their ying yang about Virgil Earp. "Bad Man" 🙄. And the "Earp Gang". Trying to rewrite history.
I share a birthday with Virgil.
Damn Virgil enlisted in the union army even though he was born in Arkansas or I think he was that's where Wyatt was born damn traitor
Virgil was born in Hartford, Kentucky.
Wyatt was born in Monmouth, Illinois before the family continued moving west to Pella, Iowa.
Allegedly, Wyatt as a young man was accused of stealing a horse in Arkansas but fled before being arrested or convicted.
@@gregdzialo9998 well Wyatt would be a Yankee and Virgil would be a traitor still Kentucky was mostly pro Confederate
Mn
Reading dry facts with a monotone voice . That will do it.
Hell yes I’m on Trump’s team.
Excellent. You didnt mention that the elbow that received the shot gun wound was useless.
Searchlight Nevada?
I think so, couldn't find much information about Wyatt being there though
By the way the Term that you are looking for was nightwatchman not Knights Watchmen
