Around 1880.
Sheridan, Wyoming
Sheridan, Wyoming lies smack dab in the middle of traditional Sioux and Crow hunting grounds on the Bloody Bozeman Trail. The area was home to such legends as Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. But that didn’t stop gold seekers from flocking to the area.
TOMBSTONE 1881.
What it was like back then: The mines at Tombstone pumped out somewhere around $50 million of silver bullion in a little more than 10 years at the end of the 19th century. The Earp brothers tried to keep the drinking, prostitution, gambling and carousing at bay. People got shot. A lot. Just not actually at the O.K. Corral.
