Cool, thanks for sharing.


I talked to a Clanton last year I think it was. Terry "Ike" Clanton was his name. A direct descendant of the Ike Clanton from the OK Corral gunfight in Tombstone. The guy is an actor and also has his amatuer radio license. I too have my ham radio ticket and struck up a good rag chew with the fella on 20 meters one evening. It was fascinating to hear his side of the legendary gunfight that his ancestors participated in.

young man who bought it was tickled. his last name was James.... a direct descendant of the famous Jesse James. i felt really good about selling him his first ever single action reevolver !

Virgil Earp is buried right here at Riverview Cemetery. Been up to see his grave site a couple times, but he's not talking much.

Wow. Really cool. I see that he was born here in KY though.

I was about 7 years old at my Dad's side when he was introduced to Mr. Earp by mutual friend, and rodeo promoter Clyde Miller.

A few generations back Uncle of mine named Solomon Iman operated a Ferry across the Missouri River near St Joseph, Missouri. Jesse James approached him and forced him to ferry him across the river, and once on the other side James shot Solomon dead.
