5.0 out of 5 stars Making Sense of The "O.K. Corral" Gunfight, March 4, 1999

This review is from: The Cowboy Conspiracy to Convict the Earps (The Street Fight Trilogy, No 3) (Paperback)

Mr. Hickey has written an interesting and information filled account of the most famous event in the history of the American West. While I don't agree with all his theories, I have to commend him on a thorough (some may say too thorough) take on the shootout behind the O.K. Corral. He gives you a shot by shot account of his take on what happened. Even if you don't agree with his conclusions, there is enough information to draw your own. The illustrations are excellent, also. All in all, a great read for anyone as fascinated as I am about this "disagreement" on the streets of Tombstone.

This was an interesting theory on the fight and it is plausible. It falls short because the author uses secondary sources, not original for his documentation. Also, he should have edited out the hyperbole in his descriptions of the participants. it would have been a better read, as well as better scholarship, if he had toned down his persons biases and let the reader form his own opinion. At the very least, he should have separated "facts" from his opinion.
