Legends of Dublin
Old Dublin gunfight claims deputies
In places like Tombstone and Hays City, Mobeetie and Coffeeville, the myth of the west was born in a few seconds of fatal gunfire. Although those cities had but one major fight in their histories, the participants – men like Earp, Hickok, Masterson, and the Dalton boys – ensured that they would always have their place in western lore.
Dublin had its own gunfight, but had no Earps or Hickoks, and 131 years later, the only real evidence that it ever happened are a few newspaper clippings and two headstones in Dublin’s old Memorial Park Cemetery.
