Morgan Earp was killed in 1882, I reckon the original hand written caption is a fake and it's just a few Montana locals

I have a copy of that!  And, yup, it's an easily identified fake, just look at the shadows.  But its still lots of fun.
Especially because its just like our little hobby.  We can put whoever we want in our games - and sometimes still call it history.
