Old West Vignette: The Assassination of Morgan Earp

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!

[@marcothommen2484]

Can't agree more

[@hurricanesexxy]

I didn't know about the other guy getting shot when morgan was killed. I be damn.

[@jameswalters9516]

If you want "accurate history"...don't say Smoky THE Bear. It's "Smoky Bear"....no more, no less.

[@Gerrygambone]

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

[@TheRealColBosch]

I think Karl is a historian and lecturer. His eye for history as it was - not how some might wish it was - is refreshing.

[@matthewpalmer7184]

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!

[@davidmurphy8364]

Karl you need your own history show on the old West

[@Legitpenguins99]

If you mean on TV i disagree. Karls to good for that commercialized garbage

[@hfulhorst]

This is his own history show on the old west.

[@PassiveDestroyer]

Videos like this wouldn't work on cable; not enough dramatization for TV.

[@iamtryingtosuckmydickpleas57]

I love how this channel and Forgotten weapons have been uploading at the same time lately.

[@Mikhavoc]

all of these old west vignettes are a delight and i'm stoked every time y'all upload one

[@godfreybrad12]

Well done as usual. I really enjoy these vignettes. Thank you.

[@ftdefiance1]

Agreed

[@H_E_N_X]

That bolt of lightening that happens at the time you mention his assassination is quite eerie.

[@mariemorgan7759]

I loved the stories of the old West since childhood! The Earps are my favorite people. Just subbed.⭐

[@kingnothing3523]

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.

[@Dani-hl3xu]

These history videos are absolute gold Keep bringing em bois great job

[@zdlrbloodstar]

I like all the old west content but especially the factual historical stories and being on location makes it that much better

[@soylentgreen7074]

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.

[@enscroggs]

2:34 It's not seen much since the end of the 19th century, however, in 1892 Geo. was a common abbreviation for George.

[@gnomely1]

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.

[@douggallagher8809]

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.

[@1804unclesam]

Old west vignette are tied for my favorite InRange content along with the Q&As. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@bigretardhalo]

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 👍

[@TheBebop51]

Every time there's a new one of these old west videos I learn something new. It's my favorite ongoing series.

[@diamondflaw]

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!

[@madacro5671]

I love old western history, so thank you Karl! Keep it coming please!

[@antonioadinolfi4052]

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.

[@jimroth3356]

Very good, like your format and delivery on the subject you bring. keep up the good work.

[@siegethelore219]

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.

Never heard of Mr. Fly before. Thanks for that tidbit, so I can take the dive into his story.

[@rojome3831]

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.

[@CAAT-pf5ol]

Awesome job Karl! Thanks for the highly informational video as always!

[@anthonybarnes8500]

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!

I really appreciate what you do Karl, its great stuff. I don't have a particular interest in the Old West, well I didn't, but because of the content that I have seen, by you, I now am quite interested in the Old West. Thank you! No I can't be a patreon member right now but I will be in January and I will be very happy to help support this channel.

[@s.koerner6486]

Very informative, please keep up these historical videos!

[@tlf7674]

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!

[@CanadiaGames]

Always love any of the old west vignette, and learning about the difference between history and hollywood!

[@Osok21]

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. :)

Great spotlight ,as always, on the details of legendary/romanticized events in the 19th Century West. Excellent research which fits in well with some rethinking on the OK corral itself.
