Clum originally wanted to call it The Clarion. Legend is he was having dinner at the Can Can Restaurant when someone told him that with all the killing in Tombstone, "Every Tombstone needs an Epitaph." He changed it on the spot. John P. Clum — former Apache Indian Agent, first mayor of Tombstone, postmaster, and editor. He was 29.

The Nugget burned in the Tombstone fire of May 1882 and never came back. The Epitaph survived because it had moved into an adobe building. Tombstone had learned that adobe doesn't burn.
- It moved to its present location at 11 South Fifth Street in 1927.
Today it’s Arizona’s oldest continually published newspaper. A national historical edition launched in 1973 that reprints historic articles, essays, and Wild West history for tourists — that’s the one you see in gift shops all over Allen Street.

If you ever visit their office on 5th Street, ask them about the history of 1881 issues including the Oct 27 gunfight issue, the Oct 28 funeral issue for the McLaurys and Billy Clanton, and the March 1882 issues covering Morgan Earp’s assassination.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955-1961) Hugh O’Brian’s TV series brought it into homes every week. The premiere episode of "The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp," with Hugh O'Brian starring as the legendary Old West lawman. This episode first aired on September 6, 1955.
Writers love it because it’s a perfect 3-act story in 30 seconds. Clear sides, stakes, and that It’s the ultimate showdown: law vs outlaws, friends vs enemies, life and death in 30 seconds. It's the first Western television series written for adults, premiering just four days before GUNSMOKE on 6 Sept. 1955. The half-hour, black-and-white program aired for six seasons (229 episodes) on ABC from 1955 to 1961, and featured Hugh O'Brian in the title role. O'Brian was chosen for the role in part because of his supposedly physical resemblance to early photographs of the real Wyatt Earp. Although highly fictionalized, this TV series actually followed the chronological life of Wyatt Earp, with his moves through Kansas towns and on to Tombstone, Arizona Territory. It is unique among Westerns of the time in following a timeline throughout the entire series. This show, along with GUNSMOKE (1955) helped launch a great era of the TV Western. Westerns became so popular on TV that by the end of the 1950s, there would be as many as 40 Westerns in prime time! Come see the real thing at the O.K. Corral!

From 1955-1961, Hugh O’Brian strapped on the badge and brought Tombstone’s famous marshal into living rooms across America. The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp!
With that iconic theme song, the show made Earp a household name for a whole generation. It ran for 6 seasons, 229 episodes, and was one of the first “adult westerns” on TV.
No CGI, no shortcuts. Just black-and-white grit, frontier justice, and the story of how one lawman tried to tame the Wild West. This show helped further cement the wild west as one of the most romanticized settings in Hollywood. O’Brian carried an exaggerated 12-inch Buntline Special Earp was said to use. This wasn't the actual gun Wyatt used but it helped grow the fantasy of the American West.
The real Josephine Earp consulted on the show to keep Wyatt’s legacy straight.

Do you have any memories of this show?

The Woman Behind the Legend: Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp

Everyone knows Wyatt Earp Tombstone marshal, O.K. Corral gunslinger, Wild West icon. But not as many know the woman who stood by him for nearly 50 years?
Josephine "Sadie" Marcus was no frontier wallflower. She was a dancer, traveler, and sharp-witted partner who met Wyatt in Tombstone in 1881. From the Arizona Territory to Alaska gold rush camps to Hollywood, she was by his side through boomtowns, busts, and legend-making.

After Wyatt’s death in 1929, she guarded his legacy. Josephine worked with authors, pushed back on myths, and made sure the Wyatt Earp we remember wasn’t just a gunfighter but her husband.

She lived a true Wild West love story: scandal, adventure, loyalty, and grit. The photo made famous by claiming to be her is actually someone else from a completely different country and decade.
