Moderators John317 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Moderators Posted August 4, 2012 doug, I edit my pictures. Ever use Photoshop Elements or anything like it? I often post photos without the use of any editing process, but that's not typical. Most pictures need editing of some kind because cameras make mistakes. It is the same essential work that's done when you have your pictures custom developed and printed at a professional photoshop. As you might have noticed, I frequently post several vesions or editions of a picture, sometimes one in color and another black and white, etc, etc. Here are three examples of the campground at the Cochise Stronghold: (1) original, unedited photo; (2) cropped and edited photo; and (3) the same photo in black and white.

Moderators John317 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Moderators Posted August 5, 2012 Tombstone, Arizona About the graves: On the evening of March 15, 1881, three Cowboys attempted to rob a Kinnear & Company stagecoach carrying US$26,000 in silver bullion (about $626,152 in today's dollars) enroute from Tombstone to Benson, Arizona, the nearest railroad freight terminal.[16]:180 Near Drew's Station, just outside of Contention City, the popular and well-known driver Eli 'Budd' Philpot and a passenger named Peter Roerig riding in the rear dickey seat were both shot and killed. Deputy U.S. Marshal Sheriff Virgil Earp and his temporary deputies and brothers Wyatt Earp and Morgan Earp pursued the Cowboys suspected of the murders. This set off a chain of events that culminated in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, during which the lawmen killed Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, and Billy Clanton. Newspaper coverage of the fight at the O.K. Corral The gunfight was the result of a personal, family, and political feud. Three months later on the evening of December 28, 1881 Virgil Earp was ambushed and seriously wounded on the streets of Tombstone by hidden assailants shooting from the second story of an unfinished building. Although identified, the suspects were not prosecuted. On March 18, 1882, Morgan Earp was killed by a shot that struck his spine while playing billiards at 10:00 p.m. Once again, the assailants were named but escaped arrest. Wyatt Earp, concluding that legal justice was out of reach, led a posse that pursued and killed four of the men they held responsible on what became known as the Earp Vendetta Ride.[17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombstone,_Arizona On "old man Clanton"-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Clanton Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Moderators John317 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Moderators Posted August 6, 2012 Yes, the subject of quite a few books and films, mostly dealing with Wyatt Earp and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil. It was literally "the wild, wild West" in the 1860s through the late 1880s.
