Buckskin Frank Leslie shot it out with Billy Claiborne, one of the survivors of the Gunfight Behind the O.K. Corral. Just one year later, in 1882, Claiborne got in an argument with Leslie who mortally wounded Claiborne in a gunfight outside the Oriental Saloon. We don’t know how Leslie met his end; he disappeared from public records in 1922. Old West photograph collector Robert G. McCubbin thinks the man in this photo looks like Leslie, but he does not have good provenance to verify it is him.

Novelist Zane Grey is shown here, staring out into a titanic gorge. Ever the outdoorsman, he arranged a mountain lion-hunting trip with Buffalo Jones to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1907.

Todd Newport So many of the places that Zane Grey visited are still there for all to see and experience. I have had the opportunity to stand in these same locations where some of the wonderful old photos were taken. This canyon sits just east of Navajo Mountain. Grey was on his way to Rainbow Bridge.

Daisy Bailey Loved reading his books and now his grandson Zane Grey is writing books. As far as I know the books are all western like the ones his grandfather wrote.
