- On March 18, 1882, Morgan Earp was assassinated, literally shot in the back, while playing a game of billiards at the Campbell and Hatch saloon on Allen Street. This murder was a revenge killing based on October 26th, 1881 Fremont street fight, otherwise now referred to as the "Gunfight at the OK Corral".
Wyatt witnessing the murder of his brother Morgan, as well as the crippling of his other brother Virgil, launched him on a vigilante killing spree now referred to as his "Vendetta Ride".
We have attempted to give you the most accurate historical narrative of Morgan Earp's death that is possible, filmed on location.

Keep the history coming, Karl. These tales need to be told. Like a historical Smoky the Bear, only You can help prevent Internet ignorance!
Can't agree more
I didn't know about the other guy getting shot when morgan was killed. I be damn.
If you want "accurate history"...don't say Smoky THE Bear. It's "Smoky Bear"....no more, no less.
Love these historical vignettes. Could listen to you all day. In another life you could have been an historian and made an excellent lecturer.
I don't know how you find the time to do your research as well as the other stuff you do for InRange, but glad that you do find the time, thank you
I think Karl is a historian and lecturer. His eye for history as it was - not how some might wish it was - is refreshing.
As a PhD Candidate, I agree- the degree is really just an elaborate rite of passage. I have actually used one of Karl’s videos (on the Underground Railroad) in one of my classes, so he has been in the classroom after a fashion!
Karl you need your own history show on the old West
If you mean on TV i disagree. Karls to good for that commercialized garbage
This is his own history show on the old west.
Videos like this wouldn't work on cable; not enough dramatization for TV.
all of these old west vignettes are a delight and i'm stoked every time y'all upload one
I love how this channel and Forgotten weapons have been uploading at the same time lately.
The difference between truth & myth is always fascinating. There is so much to learn from history & how it shapes the land, lore & people. I truly love all of the history that this channel provides, making it truly stand out.
2:34 It's not seen much since the end of the 19th century, however, in 1892 Geo. was a common abbreviation for George.
Ah...my old stomping grounds! My parents moved our family from Detroit to Tombstone in ‘69. So I started my schooling in kindergarten at Walter J. Meyer Elementary School, then through John L. Wyatt Jr. High, and finally graduated from Tombstone High School in ‘82.
It’s been a handful years since I’ve last been back there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It was somewhat cathartic.
I love how specific you are with these Karl and don’t assume events to make it sound cooler. If something isn’t proven you tell us that. That’s why these are so valuable. It’s history as written down, not revisionist history like we see a lot today.
Well done as usual. I really enjoy these vignettes. Thank you.
Agreed
These history videos are absolute gold
Keep bringing em bois great job
That bolt of lightening that happens at the time you mention his assassination is quite eerie.
Thank you for posting these videos. I'm English but I've had an interest in the subject for more than 60 years. It's fascinating because people like Wyatt Earp were still alive during my father's time.
I loved the stories of the old West since childhood! The Earps are my favorite people. Just subbed.⭐
I love these vignettes! Awesome look into the reasoning behind, and tactics of, long-ago gunfights.
If you're ever in the area of western Louisiana or eastern Texas, would you consider a trip to Gibsland, Louisiana to cover the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde by a posse of Texas Rangers and Bienville Parish deputies? The town has a museum about the duo, their exploits, and their demise, right next door to the diner where they ordered breakfast right before being killed on the road. I'd love to hear your take on the gang's actions, the posse's tactics in the ambush, and other historical events about Clyde's gang and Depression-era motor bandits in general.
Old west vignette are tied for my favorite InRange content along with the Q&As. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Even though I mostly listen to them in the podcast format, I have to say I love that you do these on location and I really do enjoy going back and watching them again to see the visual. Thank you as always for the great quality work that you do on all your content!
Every time there's a new one of these old west videos I learn something new. It's my favorite ongoing series.
I truly love these history videos, they give an insight which would otherwise be very difficult to get.
The delivery is excellent, the tone of voice, the pauses, the emphasis, the gestures and body language all contribute to make these videos truly informative.
Well done, keep them coming.
I like all the old west content but especially the factual historical stories and being on location makes it that much better
Never heard of Mr. Fly before. Thanks for that tidbit, so I can take the dive into his story.
I love old western history, so thank you Karl! Keep it coming please!
Hit the like before the intro music stopped because I love these vignettes - keep them coming please!
All I can say is thank you... you do a great job with these and I am always excited when you upload one of these 👍
Always love any of the old west vignette, and learning about the difference between history and hollywood!
I just adore when i see another history nerd like myself.
Thank you so much for your video on The Earp brother.( Greetings from Pune City Jai Maharashtra) I've seen one western of James Garner about Wyatt Earp. My most favorite Wild West Town is Tombstone and the true account of October 26, 1881. Great story from your channel. Thanks again.
This stuff and WWSD has me chomping at the bit for your notifications.
Excellent video! You really got it right... for the most part.
I don't care what Stilwell's alibi was. There's no doubt in my mind that Morgan was assassinated by Frank Stilwell, Pete Spence and one Frederick Bote, with Indian Charlie and Hank Swilling as lookouts.
Wyatt thought John Ringo was involved, but that goes against the evidence, and against Ringo's character.
Wyatt was deputized as a U.S. Marshal in December, 1881, and still held the title when he killed Stilwell, Indian Charlie, and Curly Bill Brocius. It was actually John Behan's county posse chasing Wyatt's federal posse. But Wyatt still held the title at that time.
When Wyatt killed Indian Charlie, or Florentino Cruz, he was up at Pete Spence's wood cutting camp in the southern Dragoon Mountains. Wyatt went there looking for Spence, but as you said, Spence had turned himself in to the local law for protective custody.
But you are correct on so many levels, far more accurate than most. The Wyatt Earp house, for example, is not where Wyatt and Maddie lived. It was indeed on the other side of Virgil's house, which sadly burned to the ground in the 1990s, not that long ago. It has been suggested that the so-called Wyatt Earp house may have been where James and Bessie Earp lived.
But you've got my interest. I'm going to look for more of your videos! Thanks!
Thanks, loved the video and it makes me happy to see Tombstone and SE Arizona again.
Stumbling across ForgottenWeapons one day while doing some research on a ZFK-55 would never have been a trail that I would have considered one that would lead me to realize almost five years later that I live Just 10 minutes away from where Morgan Earp was laid to rest, where the Earps originated from and served under, and I never knew it until today. I had to do a double take when you mentioned Colton CA, as my first reaction was "surely you don't mean MY Colton, CA, the Crime-infested Colton that I know!?" It's actually rather disappointing, disheartening even, coming to the realization how little I know about history, the history of my very local area, and the United States as a whole.
I've learned so much from InRange and your historical series (not to mention finally getting me into ACM matches and competitive shooting) that was never taught in school. I find it absurd that such a prominent historical relation isn't discussed far more in this very local community. As soon as I'm able, I'll be back to being a patreon supporter again, phenomenal work that y'all are doing!
I just Binge-watched the whole playlist. It was an independent study of the North American Midwestern History. Excellent in my opinion. I cannot wait to see more
Thanks for bringing us these bits of history! As a foreigner, the American Old West isn't something well known about over here, so I'm thrilled that we have you guys bring us properly researched material in an interesting way. As you've said, the Old West is an important part of history, but not just for America. In a way, the Old West is a study in humanity, what people are really like with little oversight, poor enforcement of laws, if there any to begin with, and almost no connection to the greater world.
Some folk became 'villains', others 'vigilantes' but most folk seemed just to want to life their lives, and be free.
Until someone hurts the wrong person.
Thanks Karl, and please keep these coming!
Old West vignettes series is some of the best content on the channel.
Hopefully, prohibition gangster shootouts and 20s-30s armed robbers’ stories are in line as well.
P.S. I am an immigrant, supporter of our (United States) Constitution and love to learn about real U.S. beyond what vanilla college classes with reluctant liberal professors provide.
I must re read the Morgan Kane novel books again now soon . After a good episode like this is.
These get a "like" before I even watch the video because they are always awesome.
Love the Old West Vignettes. Thanks for making them!
There's no history like old west history. I love this stuff!
Do I like these videos? No. I freaking love them.
This is the sort of content I prefer to see on the InRange TV channel, and is the reason I've subscribed.
"Tombstone Cemetary" seems somewhat redundant
Headstone Graveyard
Tautological.
Wow, I'm so obsessed with the Earp brothers and the gun fight at the ok corral. This some good juicy stuff. Keep em coming. I'm subscribing to your channel.
Nice job, Karl. I love these vignettes.
The Vignettes are always enlightening thanks for your hard work.
I love these vignettes! I live in SE AZ and read everything I can on the history. Karl, you do a great job of separating facts from opinions and myths. This is good history.
I love all the Southern Arizona Old West history videos. Having grown up in Sierra Vista, I miss that area greatly. Each video from near my hometown brings me back, if only for a few minutes. Great video.
Wyatt Earp's rides were more like gang wars than justice
Yes.
@@SonsOfLorgar Tombstone wasn't really like that by the 1880's.
Fascinating! Thanks fellas, I love these old west vignettes!!
And these videos get more awesome.. Karl telling the story with lightning in the background...
Thank you for the clarity
Took a "ride" as a southern California resident to Tombstone. So cool to actually see the historic sites in person that are presented here. Of special interest to myself was a visit to the Bird Cage theatre . Original but restored. this theatre/brothel was a regular haunt for the Earps, Doc Holiday,Clantons and has numerous bullett holes in the walls to prove it. Musta been a wild place !
I am such a fan of these. Love watching these after work, and my wife likes hearing them in the background while she bakes. :D
Very good, like your format and delivery on the subject you bring. keep up the good work.
Keep it up Karl. Would love to see you come north to Colorado for more about the west
Thank you for the indepth and engaging material Karl. Keep these up!
Great Work Karl and Sarah these Old West Vignettes are some of my favourite content. I love watching them whenever they come up
I love the history videos on this channel like this !
These are excellent videos Karl. Please make more.......lots and lots more!!
I had initially come to find the Old west Vignettes late and they were old it made me sad seeing comments saying you guys were done, keep it up. We all love ya and hope you do more.
Awsome video Karl!
It's so wild to think that even among these "characters", ordinary folks tended to live here, and with relative peace compared to New York city
Love your history videos - please keep them coming
I like watching these history videos because I've never heard of these people / events and enjoy learning
I love these vignettes
Always exceptional content, thanks Karl
Thanks for this interesting (as usual!) old West vignette video, Karl; and thanks to the person filming, too who is also standing in the wind!
Catching some great lightning while dropping the knowledge at 6:50
I love this content. Keep doing it
Love the history vignettes. Keep up the great work preserving and disseminating our history.
Born and raised In North Phoenix Arizona. I love this stuff, keep it coming. Thank you
This series is like an informative version of the History Channel
Great video, Karl! Thank you, I didn't know a lot of these details.
Great job Karl. I´m not normally Wild West afficado, but your presentation and enthusiasm makes it interesting.
Also. Like number 556.
I love old wests. Please do more often
Luv these! Thanks Karl!
Many thanks, Karl.
Thanks! Keep these coming....
I really like the historical content, keep it comin Karl!
A lot of great history told in a straightforward & enjoyable way. Subscribed!
Fantastic history lesson ! Thanks so much
Great info loved every minute of it!!!!
Great. More of these, please !!!
Love this stuff Karl, keep it coming 👍👍
This history and the mud/dust tests videos are my favorites. Great work.
I appreciate your dedication
Great video Karl. You really do this content justice in the way you present these videos.
Love these
Love these history snips
I love everything InRange does, but I will admit, all of the history videos - Old West Vignette definitely included - are some of my favorites.
Keep up the awesome work, Karl - Patreon dollars very well spent. :)
This is a very important part of history and revenge, and lawlessness go hand and hand. I really love the how in depth you go into this story, because I feel that over the years they look at wyatt as this prefect law man who could do know wrong. When in reality they were skating on a thin line between law and order, and the way of an outlaw.
This is easily my favorite type of content you guys do. Can't wait got whatever comes next in this series
I love these old west stories keep them up sir
Absolutely love these videos
Great video. I happened to recently read the transcripts of the preliminary hearing stemming from the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. There was no trial, as the court determined at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing that there was insufficient basis to move forward with the prosecution, but the hearing itself was a kind of quasi-trial, in that it was much more extensive than a typical preliminary hearing, and both sides were really trying to make their case. I think it would make a great subject for a play or a movie, but it might be worth doing a video on, at least. It was definitely interesting to read.
Love these videos... keep them coming
Love seeing your videos about the history of Southern AZ, especially when you cover things in cochise county. Keep it up!
Excellent video Karl!
This was was extremely fascinating.
Love the vignettes.
Love these, they're informative and fantastic!
CS Fly died on my birthday, never knew that
You’ll be 120 this October - happy birthday…
