I love rewatching these videos!! His voice takes me back to a time when kids rode bikes and summer days lasted forever, and summer nights were filled with fireflies and neighborhood gatherings. When you waited all week for your favorite tv show to come on and cartoons were just for Saturday morning. Before you grew up and things become complicated. What a magical gift to possess. Being able to take people to a time where each household only had 1- phone with one number and no one called after 10pm. I miss the simplicity of those days sometimes but I always have Jerry Skinner and his timeless voice to take me back.

I agree with you I really miss those days. I m 68 years old and boy do I miss those times. Way before all of these pronouns, when men were men and women were women. I grew up hunting and fishing , sense I was about 6years old. When you could buy a gun down at the old store as long as you had the money. No background checks and hardly any murders.

One of the best Daddy-Daughter dates I ever had. Spending the day walking around Tombstone with my dad on my 50th birthday. Such a great memory and I have a picture to remind me every day. I'm pretty sure it was taken at Flys Photography. R.I.P. Daddy ❤

I'm from Costa Rica, our grand parents told my brothers and I stories about the Earp brothers, but mostly from Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp. My grand father had newspapers from the US were many real stories were written about them. Listening to Mr. Skinner brought to my memory those nights in the kitchen table and all the kids around my grand parents waiting for those fantastic stories about the Wild West. Thank you Mr. Skinner!

It would be interesting to watch this video as you walk the streets of Tombstone. It’s one thing to see the movies but entirely eye opening to see where the actual events occurred, and learn the actual history. Well done sir!👌👍

I grew up next door to Virgil Earps grandson, George Law in Portland Oregon. He told the best stories to us kids. He passed away in 1983 at his breakfast table drinking his coffee from a saucer as he always did. Said drinking coffee out of a saucer would give your life longevity. He passed away at 93 years old. He was self supportive till the day he died

@Sid Nunja You still need the cup. I still remember my grandparents "saucering" their coffee. Pour from cup to saucer then drink. I thought it was mostly to cool it some, but also to filter out the grounds that the percolators without a paper filter allowed to pass into the coffee.

@@mr.mikeaz1 OK, but I'm sure they sometimes lived in a house and used a percolator. I know my grandparents lived in a house on their farm and perced their coffee on a wood fired cookstove. My point was you had a lot of grounds in your coffee, whether perced on a stove in a house or boiled in a pot on a fire. I think the cup to saucer routine helped to reduce the amount of coffee grounds you swallowed, which may be why they considered it better for your health. My Old Man was born in 1904 & he also saucered his coffee. And yea, I've boiled a few pots of coffee myself. I grew up in a remote area without electricity or indoor plumbing & am no stranger to wood fires. My Old Man had a friend who was a trick shooter with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and claimed he knew Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull, and other famous western characters. He was also a Hollywood stunt man & was in movies with Tom Mix. He had a lot of tall stories and as a kid I liked listening to him. He ALWAYS carried a brace of Navy Colts & was quite proficient with them, even up into his 80's. BTW, in colonial days people slept sitting up. It was considered very bad for your health to lie flat while sleeping. If you ever get a chance to tour an army barracks from the 1700's you will notice how short the bunks are, and it isn't because they were all midgets. Not related to this conversation, just an interesting "health fact" from the old days. Nice chatting with you, it brought up some old memories. As you can tell from my rambling. lol Enjoy your Sunday.

We visited Tombstone during Thanksgiving week, Nov 20 (last month) and it was a lot of fun. We also visited the Boothill Graveyard, another fun visit. The drive was 4 hours one-way from Phoenix, but we enjoyed the trip. Everyone was very pleasant and nice at the Tombstone store shops and graveyard store. I bought packages of cactus seeds and desert wildflower seeds that I am going to try to grow this spring in my backyard here in Michigan.

I am 80 years old. When I was 10 or so, when my Grandad's friends would visit, I would sit and listen to their stories. They all grew up in the latter part of the 1880s, in various parts of the South and Texas. Their stories were just as interesting (and harrowing), as the famous stories. The sheriffs and lawmen were nearly always reformed (sometimes) outlaws. For the simple fact that it took someone who knew the ways of the lawbreakers to keep them under control. It's like US Highway 80 vs. Route 66 during the great migrations to California during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Just as many stories, just as tragic and successful, it just never made the movies. My Mother and her sister grew up on my Grandad's farm, a little way west of Fort Worth, Texas on US 80. US 80 was called the Southern Route to the West Coast. This carried the travelers from the Deep South on their way to the Promised Land. None of the frontiers, from the 1700s through the early 1900 was Little House on the Prairie. I read that Laura Engels Wilder said that she always wanted to write a book about what it life on the frontier was really like. But she said no publisher would touch it. Those days are gone, and what I saw and experienced growing up it the rural South, I can honestly say, "Good riddance."

One edit, sorry... Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder was the author's name. They traveled from Wisconsin to Kansas, back to Wisconsin, and then to Minnesota, then Iowa, then back to Minnesota, then to Dekota Territory settling in DeSmett. The parents Charles, and Caroline stayed out the rest of their lives there, but Laura, and her Almonzo Wilder moved to Florida for a bit, and then moved to Missouri settling in a small town called Mansfield. They lived out their days there. Just a little information about a true Pioneer woman, and her family. Her father, and mother might not be in history books like the Tombstone bunch, but just like thousands of other Pioneer families, they are the "regular joes" that just tried to get by in their lives...surviving. If Laura Ingalls Wilder hadn't had a daughter (named Rose Wilder Lane) who saw her mother as already a talented writer for the local newspaper, and helped her get her penciled composition notebooks together, and get her memories written down in book form.....we wouldn't have known of some of the basic day to day lives of men and women who survived those days of old. She really did a good job of putting her memories in a format that was easy to understand, and it doesn't matter how old you are...She makes it feel like you were right there with her, and her families. Blessings 😊

Very interesting and well put together. I live in Arizona and I've been to Tombstone several times , and I highly recommend visiting the birdcage theater. It feels like you're stepping back in time. They have the old horse-drawn hearse that took the dead from the gunfight at the OK Corral down to the cemetery. They have the old Faro card tables that were used during Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday's time there. And much more. It's mostly just the way it was back in the 1800s.

The story of the Earps and the cowboy clash is the archetype of the myth of the lawless wild west.

She said every August he would fly down to Tombstone and play the part of Wyatt for their Tombstone Days pageant. I think I might have seen him once but I was very young at the time.

Having lived a few miles from Tombstone for nearly 25 years, I have heard it all. Drove by the "old Clanton place" many times on Charleston Rd. Also got the opportunity to meet some of the Clanton family.

A bloody big blimey from Blighty here! That was astonishingly fascinating and captivating - and makes you see how rough life was on every level there back then, its a wonder that American society survived, let alone propogated. Wonderful narration, superbly documented with successive details and illustrated by remarkable imaginary and a non-intrusive but essential and gentle backing track. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for the upload. Mark. London.

Mr Skinner, thank you for this wonderful insight. My wife and I traveled from England to Phoenix, Arizona to visit with family and whilst there we drove down and spent a day in Tombstone. That day will live long in my memory, having been brought up with cowboy stories as a boy in England. Your video has us smiling with fond memories but they mean so much more now you have told us the story that goes with them. Best wishes to you and to those you hold dear from Bristol, England

Agree with the comments above... why liberal producers have to stretch the story line so far from the truth/actual events is absolutely ridiculous. I sat and watched this entire video and though the Hollywood version of the Earps/Tombstone was good, I think had it followed more of the actual witness accounts... I would have enjoyed it that much more!

A great deal of research went into this accurate and quality presentation! When Apache troubles occurred my ancestors who lived in St. David gathered up in the little army post in Fairbanks south of Tombstone. 12:18 at the town site of Charleston along the San Pedro River I once found two old bullet shells. A smaller fitted into a larger shell with what sounded like little rocks inside. It had been stepped on by a cow and could not be pulled apart. I gave it to a gal in Sierra Vista. She likely tossed it out perhaps. I later heard that was how goldpanners stored their finds. Probably not worth much but a real piece of history!
