Ike Clanton
American frontiersman
Quick Summary
Ike Clanton was an American frontiersman and a key figure in the feud with the Earp brothers that culminated in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. He led an outlaw gang that clashed with Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with their friend Doc Holliday. While three members of the Clanton gang were killed in the shootout, Ike Clanton and another member managed to escape. The conflict, however, did not end there, as Virgil Earp was ambushed later that year, and Morgan Earp was fatally shot in March 1882.12
