It was the scene that any of us could picture today in our mind's eye. Two groups of rivals set against each other by grudges big and small, with a bit of small town politics thrown in for good measure. To call it a ticking time bomb would be an understatement. On one side were the cowboys, a band of ranchers turned criminals who had plagued the town for years. On the other for lawmen, and their names are the ones you'd recognize Virgil Morgan and Wyatt Earth alongside their good
friend Doc Holliday. The resulting shootout that day in Tombstone, Arizona, known today as the Gunfight at the Ok Corral, only lasted thirty seconds, but the market left on the popular imagination has held on for nearly one hundred and fifty years. Why because Americans have never stopped being fascinated with the wild West. This July Grimm and Mile Present turns its
gaze westward. Join us for a trek into the unknown, the misunderstood, and the forgotten tales of America's westward expansion, from the early explorers and the indigenous peoples they encountered to the gunslingers of legend and everything in between. This is your chance to learn just how complicated our move into western North America really was and why so many of the assumptions we have about it are dead wrong. So pack your sense of adventure and childhood love of
the unexplored, and get ready to make a journey. Grimm and Mild Presents The wild West sets off on Friday, July seventh. Subscribe today on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Learn more at Grimminmild dot com. Slash Presents
