    the overwhelming weight of the documented evidence suggests (contrary to Buckskin Frank's claim) that a besotted and morose John Peters committed suicide in early July of 1882 in the Dragoons not far from... more

        Guys I read somewhere that Mary Ringo had visited Wyatt and out of respect for her he was not claiming to have done the job at that time. I don’t know when this was , but he definitely implied that... more

          The story about Mary Ringo was, in my feeble memory, something from Gilchriese who claimed Wyatt said that to Flood and Flood told him. Flood is disastrously vague and confusing. I've been trying to... more

            about Virgil's source for his moccasin/Apache info, and when, if you know, he went on the record with it and to whom? Virgil left Tombstone in March of 1882, Ringo's suicide was three months later... more

              ...for proving I'm right when I refer to my deteriorating memory. I appologize, Peter, for incorrectly correcting your aparently prisine memory.

                Bob No worries. None of it explains why a suicide would be falsified. Ringo was not wanted for any crime although seems acknowledged to be a rustler. Are you thinking that some of the big ranch... more
      • Well then Tom, — olds, Tue May 02 9:16
        that makes Wyatt's later claim even more baffling, doesn't it? (I wasn't aware of that interview, so thanks for the reference.) In 1893, some 10, 11 years after Ringo's demise, he says one thing, then... more

          Olds that the legend of Wyatt Earp might be faulty or have strayed from the truth!!!! Keep Laughing Tom
          • Oh Ye of Little Faith — Bob Cash, Tue May 02 14:41
            I happen to believe that it is at least possible that Wyatt did have something to do with Ringo's death, maybe even pulling the trigger himself. I remember the look on our late beloved friend Paul Cool's... more

      How enjoyably enlightening. Glad I didn't write it or it would not go over as worthy of consideration! Absolutely fantastic!
