October 26 1881 – 3 Marheshvan 5642
The most famous shootout on the American frontier, the Gunfight at the OK Corral, took place in Tombstone, Arizona. The most famous participant in the fight was Marshall Wyatt Earp – who was not Jewish but whose last wife, Josie, born Josephine Marcus, was. When Earp died she had his remains buried in the Marcus family plot in a Jewish cemetery in Coloma, California, where she too now lies buried beside him. The man with the star lies under the star – of David that is. For untold numbers of American Jewish boys, Earp was a hero because they thought he was Jewish since he was buried in a Jewish cemetery.
