For your consideration is this July 7, 1882 Tombstone Epitaph Newspaper, from Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, framed. The Tombstone Epitaph, Arizona's oldest continuously published newspaper, was founded in 1880 by John Clum, who believed "no Tombstone is complete without its epitaph," and it documented the events of the Wild West, including the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The Tombstone Epitaph is considered a leading voice in documenting the rich history of the American West. The newspaper continues to be published today, with a focus on Western history. This edition features an article (originally published by the San Diego Sun) that the Earps "are alive and kicking" in response to reports that they had been "taken away from him by disguised cowboys and hung." Another article mentions a "Sharp Fusilade on Allen Street" at the Way Up Saloon, a gun fight that resulted in no injuries to either shooter. Another article lists the victims of the collision between the excursion boats Scioto and John Lomas on the Ohio River south of Steubenville, Ohio. The two first articles have "arrows" pointing to the articles. At the bottom of the frame is labeled, "THE TOMBSTONE EPITAPH July 7, 1881 SHOOTING FORAY AT THE WAY UP SALOON THE EARPS ARE ALIVE AND KICKING AND STILL HOLD THEIR COMMISSIONS AS OUTLAWED DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHALS".
