Corral, a legendary event in the American Old West, occurred on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona, between lawmen and a group of outlaws, lasting about 30 seconds and resulting in three deaths. Historically, scrimshaw was a form of folk art practiced by 19th century whalers, involving engraving or carving designs onto whale bone, ivory, or walrus tusks, often used as a form of creative expression during long voyages. Modern scrimshaw artists rarely use whale bone anymore, though it is still employed by a few. Common modern materials are include elk, horse and cow jawbones. Artist John Hybl also created a scrimshaw plaque of former Texas Rangers Leander H. McNelly and Frank Hamer which was donated to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco, Texas. Hamer is notable for having led the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. This elk jawbone (mandible) features the four named scrimshaw images, 1881, TOMBSTONE ARIZONA as well as the artist's hallmark, JH.
