History states that no marriage lic could be found. Back in those days, common law marriage was a common thing. Im not sure if the "real" history of the Earp brothers and the shootout at the OK corral can be proven due to the inconsistence of the facts. Yes history shows that they were acquited, but history also shows that Ike Clanton tried for several years to bring charges up against the Earps. The fact is that we are not even sure if its really the body of Johnny Ringo at the base of the tree. We don't even know the facts of how he died. Only speculation. All we know is Doc Holiday is buried in "a grave" Glennwood, CO. History states " this is possibly" where he is buried. I love the old west and would love to find out more about it. It's kinda like the mystery of where Billy the kid is buried and the history behind him. Only what others have put into their own words
