The Tombstone Nugget

[Lawdog Dago Dom]

Competing newspaper with the Epitaph, and their take on the OK Corral gunfight.

Media bias even back then.

 

The American Cowboy Chronicles: OK Corral Gunfight -- The Tombstone Nugget, October 27th, 1881

I would suspect that the truth lies somewhere between the two accounts!

Better reporting than you get these days!

Well the Tombstone Epitaph is still printing. It’s a monthly paper. I was getting it for about 10 years, I dropped it a few years ago.

seems that reporting was just as unverified then as it is now - but then they were reporters back then that took what they heard as true , today we have would be jounalists with an agenda that insert their opinion in leiu of facts

News reporters with honesty and integrity have always been a minority, IMNSHO.

You suspect right LOL. Being local, I've been to Tombstone several times. Terfertiller's book along with some others lended an on-site guide as I walked through the events of that day on a number of occasions.

 

Personally, both sides had their issues but one facet, the Dem/Republican feud was as bad then as it is now LOL.
