Speaker 1: It was the scene that any of us could picture
Speaker 1: today in our mind's eye. Two groups of rivals set
Speaker 1: against each other by grudges big and small, with a
Speaker 1: bit of small town politics thrown in for good measure.
Speaker 1: To call it a ticking time bomb would be an understatement.
Speaker 1: On one side were the cowboys, a band of ranchers
Speaker 1: turned criminals who had plagued the town for years. On
Speaker 1: the other for lawmen, and their names are the ones
Speaker 1: you'd recognize Virgil Morgan and Wyatt Earth alongside their good
Speaker 1: friend Doc Holliday. The resulting shootout that day in Tombstone, Arizona,
Speaker 1: known today as the Gunfight at the Ok Corral, only
Speaker 1: lasted thirty seconds, but the market left on the popular
Speaker 1: imagination has held on for nearly one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 1: Why because Americans have never stopped being fascinated with the
Speaker 1: wild West. This July Grimm and Mile Present turns its
Speaker 1: gaze westward. Join us for a trek into the unknown,
Speaker 1: the misunderstood, and the forgotten tales of America's westward expansion,
Speaker 1: from the early explorers and the indigenous peoples they encountered
Speaker 1: to the gunslingers of legend and everything in between. This
Speaker 1: is your chance to learn just how complicated our move
Speaker 1: into western North America really was and why so many
Speaker 1: of the assumptions we have about it are dead wrong.
Speaker 1: So pack your sense of adventure and childhood love of
Speaker 1: the unexplored, and get ready to make a journey. Grimm
Speaker 1: and Mild Presents The wild West sets off on Friday,
Speaker 1: July seventh. Subscribe today on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
