Whose Gravestone?

[Capt. Hamp Cox]

Yep, ol' Les was jus' dyin' ta make a name fer hisself.

Maybe there was "Moore" Lesters than we think.

There's one at Calico Ghost town, outside of Barstow, CA. 
I guess that make at least three.  Moore or Les.

That makes 12 shots

Wyatt's stone (the "sacred" version.  Think the "scared" version is on Curly Bill's rock, where ever it may be ).

I think he's next Jimmy Hoffa instead.

Tried posting this last night and something hiccupped. The whole post disappeared! A couple months ago, there was a thread on TOB about Curley & Co.. one of the posters is related to the Clanton family. He had seen a family letter from the period that stated Bill was buried at ------ station, just off the corner of a barn there. CRS is causing me not to remember the one part of the name. according to him, a couple current Tombstone people went out there and did find evidence of an old grave there, NO MARKER. If they followed up isn't known. The letter does state that Curley was killed at the springs as story has been related. Wouldn't that cause quite a stir if that could be proved to be Bill's resting place?............Buck

Not mine.

John Blair, contracted the pox while rustlin' cattle.  Probably one the few if not only rustler drug hung, by the wrong end, and after he was already dead!

If we're talkin' the Tombstone Les, it was Hank Dunstan.  However Les did manage to put one fatal bullet into Hank, before goin' down.  I guess Hank was slow, but accurate.
