Boot Hill Graveyard, Tombstone
The graves of Billy Clanton, Frank and Tom Mclaury Tom Mclaury is the only man John Holliday ever killed and then whilst acting in self defence. The Bird Cage Theatre
The Bird Cage Theatre, 6th and Allen, was host to the longest poker game in western history, running for 8 years 5 months and 3 days. The poker room is situated directly below the stage. Here are claimed to be the original tables and chairs from the 1880s. The house gaming steward received a $1,000 deposit from each prospective gambler and placed his name on the waiting list of players. When a seat was open someone would be sent for the player. The waiting could be 3 to 4 days to get into the game. A player could stay in the game as long as he wanted and had the money. Many notable persons sat in the big game at this table - was John Henry Holliday one of them?
