Our Favorite Historic Sites in TOMBSTONE | OK Corral, Birdcage Theater, Boothill Graveyard and More!

[@doc25000]

Western Figure. In the late 1880s, Lester Moore worked as a Wells Fargo Station Agent in the Mexico-United States border town of Naco, Arizona. One day a man named Hank Dunstan arrived at the Wells Fargo station to pick up a package he was expecting. When Moore handed him a badly battered and mangled package, Dunstan became enraged over the condition of it and an argument ensued. The argument quickly became heated and both men reached for their guns. Moore was shot four times from Hank Dunstan's gun. Before Moore died, he managed to fire off one shot of his own, hitting Dunstan in the chest and Dunstan died from his injury. Lester Moore's body was transported to the nearby town of Tombstone, where he was buried in the Boothill Graveyard. There he became forever known for the epitaph inscribed on his headstone which read, "Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, no Les, no more".

So greatful it's a "tourist trap". The town would've been bulldozed years ago. Thanks to everyone in Tombstone for keeping the place alive!

I just got back from a tour of Arizona which included the Painted desert and the Petrified Forest, The Giant Meteor Crater and The Grand Canyon but I have to say that the best part of the whole trip was the two days we spent in and around Tombstone. The history was enthralling and even though most of the buildings were rebuilds after the many fires it was still most interesting not only for me at 66 but also for my kids and grandkids who found it the best part of the trip too. Even though we tried to visit every location, after seeing a few tours like this one I can see we still missed a lot. Tombstone is a fascinating place.

[@CactusAtlas]

In some ways it is kind of sad to think that the buildings in Tombstone aren't originals but they're still fairly old when you think about it. A great number of old towns can say the same though. It is a fascinating place though when you walk around and take in the context of the history there.

Thank you so much for making these videos. You bring back some really good memories. ❤My husband and I got married in the Tombstone Court house on November 26th, 1976. My family and I just revisited Tombstone this year, April 14th, 2024, to see the courthouse and the worlds largest rose bush in bloom. While touring the museum, we were fortunate to meet their great-great grandson Dan, who lives in San Antonio, Texas now. His cousins run the business now. He was visiting for the weekend. He allowed me to video him while he was telling us all about the history of his great-great grandparents coming to Tombstone in a covered wagon, his family and stories about the mine. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I wish I could share the videos with you someday. I'm so glad I found your channel ❤ Ty again!

[@CactusAtlas]

That's so awesome! What a wonderful connection you have to Tombstone, it seems! 😊

[@Dodgerblue7381-ey3ql]

You are right. Tombstone is awesome! Ive been there 3 times. One thing, and I dont know anymore than anyone else, but I was told that the shootout actually took place in the middle of what is now the highway that runs through Tombstone. There is a historical marker identifying the location next to the highway. In later years Wyatt Earp commented "what the hell did the OK Corral have to do with the shootout? Great place though full of history with the Bisber raid and the gallows in the courthouse yard.

[@CactusAtlas]

Yeah, I have heard that the present day location isn't quite correct. Though old papers do make mention of the OK Corral or Tombstone Corral and there's one edition of the Tombstone Epitaph showing the location. But, of course, the place had so many fires (including C.S. Fly's studio) who can say how things were rebuilt over time.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

Tombstone is a lot of fun but you are right. It is like being in the ghost town at Knotts or at Disneyland. You picked a great time to be there, every time we stop by there are tons of people around. Thanks for the tour.

[@CactusAtlas]

Very accurate comparison in terms of ghost towns in the Southwest. Wouldn't be surprised to find churros hiding somewhere there. 😂 Usually when we go it's on the weekend and pretty crowded. I can think of plenty of times parking was a pain to find. This was filmed on a Friday so must have been before people headed out.

My first trip to Tombstone was in 1974 for Helldorado Days. It was a wild time indeed. I stayed at the Huachuca Inn which is now the Sagebrush Inn. I was 22 years old and living in New Mexico at the time. I lived reading about the history of the western frontier since I was a kid.

[@CactusAtlas]

We've still never made it out to Helldorado. Just the crowd... 😅 I imagine it's fun though!

[@WillySmith-sd4em]

@CactusAtlas if you're a 22 year old in party mode it was fun. As one who will be 72 this October I have no interest in going again during Helldorado Days. Unfortunately the basement wasn't open back then in the Birdcage and I haven't been back to Tombstone in 50 years. I'm thinking about moving to Tombstone or Sierra Vista now that I'm retired. Time to check out your other videos.

[@CactusAtlas]

Our 22 year old days are long past so likely one of the reasons we never went. 😂

[@WillySmith-sd4em]

@CactusAtlas I definitely prefer peace and quiet. Things quieted down around one AM and it was very spooky walking back to the Huachuca Inn on a cool and windy October night. I truly felt like I was being watched by inhabitants who had long since died.

[@mikecooper4916]

Glenn, I thoroughly enjoyed your video presentation. Very informative and I've seen many vids and docs over the years about the wild, wild West. I grew up in San Diego and driving into Arizona to hunt or visit or passing through to go east, I never once stopped in Tuscon, Dodge City, Tombstone, or the Grand canyon! Lol I'm 71 now, living in Idaho. I don't think I'll ever get the chance, unless it's for one of my best friend's funeral in Phoenix.. ( In case he goes before me) I always loved westerns and all that. The movies, tv shows like Rawhide, Gunsmoke, and the Wild Wild West. Our favorite flick of all time hands down is "Tombstone"!!! Val Kilmer IS Doc Holliday! Anyway, sorry for ramblin on. Thank you for a well done video. Especially loved the predawn lights. Excellent.

I love Tombstone. I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the town when I first visited this year. I think the location of the gunfight and the walk the Earps/Holiday took down to the OK Corral remains a contested topic. When I was there, one of the Arizona Park Rangers told me they walked down Fremont Street to an alley behind Fly's and confronted the Cowboys there.

[@CactusAtlas]

Depending on the crowds or events going on, it can be overwhelming for sure. And I have heard similarly about the walk/shoot out.

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

Terrific tour Glenn!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! 👍

[@tombstonegabby]

Not too bad at all. If you're looking for a 'subject' for a future movie, might I suggest the buildings themselves. Example? You walked past the Longhorn Restaurant. The outer wall looks like cut stone. That's metal - protecting an adobe wall. Look across the street at the Crystal Palace. Those 'bricks' are painted metal. Both these buildings were two storied. It was about 1904 when the city council decided to tax two storied building at a higher rate. Both buildings 'lost' their upper story in a hurry. The windows on the 5th street side? All attorneys. Tombstone was not just a mining town, it was the County Seat as well - lawyers were a dime a dozen. Walk on up to the Epitaph newspaper office and take a look at the northern wall - that's what happens to unprotected adobe. If you look north across Freemont - the San Jose House - was the first adobe building in Tombstone, still in use today. Walk into Doc Holliday's Saloon and go to the rear - and get the inside view of an adobe wall. The building at First and Fremont (south-east corner), if you can get a view of the west facing windows - mostly original glass - wavy - pre-"float glass". Look for some of the older residences - note the electrical conduits on the outside of the buildings. I could go on, but you get the idea.

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh we've definitely had the history of buildings in older towns on our back burner for a while. Takes time to research so never the quickest videos to produce unfortunately. Thanks for the info. 😄

Ah you nailed it, the whole town burned down, so a lot of this is rebuilt. Another fun fact, that is not the actual site of the gunfight, it happened outside the walls on the streets, I believe it was Fremont street and 3rd street (unless the trolly guy was just trying to give us an oooo ahhh moment) Everyone is kinda their own business down there trying to get a piece of the action by making claims that nobody can really verify.

[@WatchingYouTube1234]

Native of Arizona here, and Tombstone is an AWFUL tourist trap. The people hawking their wares will flat out lie through their teeth about the stuff they are selling. For instance, one old woman tried to say the rail spikes they were selling are collected by a local who goes out into the nearby desert and hills to pull them out of the long abandoned old rail lines. These were clearly brand new spikes which had never been driven by a sledgehammer, let alone sat in the ground for nearly 160 years. LOL. Additionally, anyone who's lived here going back prior to 1970 know from personal experience that everything of any historical significance from the old days (statewide)was stripped away by locals for reuse, or "treasure hunting" DECADES ago. Thus, most everything of any value that isn't a permanent structure was long gone by 1970. Perfect example is the Birdcage Theater - EVERYTHING within the Birdcage was purchased and placed there for display and passed off as local-sourced, original antiques and it is all a bunch of B.S. They claim the playing cards and money on the tables in the basement are exactly how they were left when the place closed in 1894. This is a bunch of malarky, as no gambler is going to leave their money behind. Further, packrats and / or termites would have eaten those playing cards within a decade. 😂

If you like reading Tombstone history, There is a autobiography of and Tombstone sheriff if you remember in movie Billy Breakenridge, he was there during the shoot out as sheriff and life after that day.
