I guess that was too easy. I have always been fascinated by Wyatt Earp, in fact I think he is one of my all time favorite people of the past.

Same here, I have a fascination with the old west especially the Tombstone is one of my all time favorite movies. I have written several paper about this event since the 6th grade. I actually have a reprint of the newspaper from 10/27/2006 that talks about the event.

I have done a bunch of research on the old west. Lots of it on the outlaws and gunfighters. Interesting stuff.

My favorite Utah boys are probably Matt Warner and Butch Cassidy. You run into lots of their history hiking around Utah.

Favorite gunfighters to study are probably Texas Ben Thompson and John Wesley Harden

I've done quite a bit of study on that stuff too. You ever actually been to Tombstone?

Tombstone is my favorite western too. :2thumbs: I have the movie poster framed and hanging in my family room. I have a friend who is working on a book (history related) about the city and its legends. He's also working on another book about a famous Texas Ranger who is known for killing Bonnie and Clyde.

Here's another history question for the day: Name that TX Ranger

I know of two signatures on the canyon walls from Matt Warner, but have only heard of ones from Butch. Any idea where the ones from Butch are? I heard some are in the Swell and Book Cliffs.

PS, hiking in Utah isn’t the only place you will find their history. Sites in Colorado and Nevada are numerous too. One is right by where I live.

Chuck Norris is the only texas ranger, he just allows others to live & they must be rangers too :hail2thechief:

I've seen some pictures of Cassidy's signature in the North Swell, they have some prints of it at the Cleveland Dino dig in their Black Book, but I'm not sure exactly where it is and I have yet to find anyone who can tell me.

I have a GPS waypoint for the Warner signature in Buckhorn wash. That is the only signature of his I know of. Where is the other?
