A little Tombstone with your summer vacation?

So you're looking for a little Southern California fun in the sun. Surf boards? Disneyland? In 'N Out Hamburger? Yeah sure, of course.

How 'bout a little Tombstone? I know what you're saying, "Isn't that in Arizona?" Not if you're Morgan Earp.

In the little known cemetary in Colton, California is the tombstone of Morgan Earp. Check it out:
 

So it got us thinking about Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan. Since we're in the land of Hollywood for a very short while, what did Hollywood have to say? Check out the first two of three trailers (those two directed by Frank Sturges.) The first is "Gun Fight at the O.K. Corral", and the second is "Hour of the Gun". He directed both, but Gun Fight and Hour have different actors for Wyatt and Doc Holiday, to show the two films aren't REALLY connected (As per Universal's 1967 corporate decision...hmmm).

                     

But California's tombstone of Morgan Earp wouldn't be complete if we didn't include "The" Tombstone movie of all tombstone movies.
