Wyatt Earp, Big Nosed Kate, Doc Holliday, we all heard of the

Gunfight at the OK Corral in the mid 1800s.....after the Civil War.

 

Ralph remembered a past life there, and I lived there as well during this time period apparently.

 

When we moved to Arizona, we came back to where we once lived.,and would love to visit Tombstone, walk the town and of course visit the old graveyards there. 

 

There is the one famous one called Boot Hill....it's very much for the tourists ,  but there is also the one for the regular folks who lived in Tombstone in the heyday of that town called,

The Town "Too Tough" to Die.

 

It remains pretty much today as it did back then.

 

We love to go down there (it's  near the Mexican border south of Tucson.)

 

 

Here is the Chart (no birthtime) for "Big Nosed Kate" as they called Kate Elder, girlfriend of Doc Holliday:

 

 

 

Wikipedia says she was an orphan (at 17) both her  parents died within one month of each other.

She was born into a wealthy home, her father a physician, who came to America and once worked for the President of Mexico (see Link)

Maximillin.

 

They were originally from Pest Hungary (Budapest?)

 

 

Tombstone is a fascinating little town even today.  It was once in those days, not only wild & remote as an outpost of sorts, BUT also was the "in place" to go to , if  you were an actor, a comedian or singer. People would travel from all over the world to go there and preform in their little theatre, called the "Bird cage Theatre"

 

It was named the Birdcage, because the women of the night, or prostitutes, would ply their trade in little upstairs cubicles while the men and women played cards or watched the shows down below on the first floor beneath the "birdcages"....or cublicles.

 

(see Link)

 

 

Ralph created this Wikipedia link after finding none for the Birdcage theatre, so these are all his own photos and verbage.

I'm sure the little town of Tombstone, who added a link or two (the Chamber of Commerce) is most appreciative of his effort to make Tombstone & the Birdcage, a place in history.
