“Old Man” Clanton was the patriarch of a family of outlaws called the Cowboys. They victimized the Arizona Territory in the late 19th century by rustling cattle, robbing stagecoaches and stealing from miners. Robert Findley McLaury and Thomas Clark McLaury joined their ranks after purchasing a neighboring ranch. Their lawlessness came to an abrupt end at the O. K. Corral shootout. The brothers Frank and Tom, along with Billy Clanton, were buried side-by-side at Boot Hill. This famous Tombstone graveyard interred mostly criminals from 1878 until 1883. The cemetery has become a popular tourist attraction. Be aware: several of the markers are fictitious.
