Shades of Robert Loggia, who re-created Elfego for Walt Disney in a 10-part episode back in 1958-60 when I were but a youngish, impressionable teen-ager. The Disney version must have consumed most of Winchester-Western's ammo production that year in the adobe shootout episode, but it sure were impressive.

Just wish I could remember the Elfego theme song. Disney did GREAT character theme songs. This was the same time as Francis (Swamp Fox) Marion: "Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat; nobody knows where the Swamp Fox at..."

But the best Disney hero song (outside of maybe Davy Crockett) was for Texas John Slaughter, for "Texas John Slaughter made 'em do what they oughter, 'cause if they didn't, they died."

Can't beat that with a stick.

In your spare time check out Earl Durand "The Tarzan of the Tetons" on the net. He was a young man who poached game and killed men in Park County, WY in the late thirties. The story of his attempt to rob the First National Bank in Powell, WY was the first live radio broadcast of a crime as it took place. His own demise arrived after the loss of several lives. Immediately Hollywood made a movie which premiered in Powell. Of course it was as full of crap as a Christmas goose protraying events which were far from the truth.

You can look at old man Earp's eyes and see even then that he is not to be messed with. My guess is that he might be packing something under that boiled shirt of his.

hi,field and streams.i have this gun that is old and i like to know how much it is worth.it a 1858 reproduction remington percussion pistol.the barrel is made of chestnut wood with a brass finish.it has a flask too,that hold the gun powder,and two bullets that dates back in the civil war.email me back please and let me know. thank ruth

I heard he did the limbo.

Elfego would have only been 19 when he had his shootout from what I figure. Cool. So much for that rule about bringing all your friends and all your rifles to a gunfight... Great job Dave, nice post Jim in Avon.

my bad missed the old west part.

OK corrall was the best

Great photo of Earp! What a good looking old man. Makes you realize how such a really short a time ago all these events took place, and how our country has changed so radically since just "yesterday". Tom

Don't you just love how hundreds of rounds are exchanged in Old West gunfights and only a few drop dead? Sounds like someone needs to work on accuracy.

Great post Dave, but I must argue one thing. In the Dodge Peace Commission picture, I have a book that says Short is back row in the middle, and that Bat Masterson is on the right. Won't say which is right for sure, just thought I'd throw that out there.

The group photo looks like the infamous Butch & Sundance with the Hole in the wall gang, must of been a class reunion

Nice job WA Mtnhunter I could only get two of them right off.

Great job WA Mtnhunter!!! I got three of them right which is Wyatt Earp, Frank McLain and Neal Brown.

Im glad people are still teaching the history of the old west. It makes for some of the most exciting history about our country.

Also, I visited Boot Hill and The O.K. Corral.

They will give you a writeup that is a myth-killer.

The truth is they stood 10 feet apart in a place where there was no cover and shot each other to pieces.

The Earps were there with false legal authority.

Their paperwork was forged.

Wyatt was a Faro dealer, and the brothers wuz married to hoes.

The Old Outlaw Gang eventually shot them up and ran them off.
