Oh, **sleestak** , you broke my heart! I lost my copy of **Tombstone** when my house got flooded-I really do feel your pain! I got it on DVD a couple months ago after reading [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103785&highlight=huckleberry) .

I’ve also been reading _Return of Little Big Man_, which has a whole different slant on that same event. The Earps apparently did prefer to coldcock people, and they were humiliated by it, as it meant you weren’t even worth a bullet.

Any Tombstone fan would enjoy the Little Big Man books-they’re great!

“I know-let’s have a spelling bee!”
