Booth Museum's Jim Dunham to Appear on PBS

Jim Dunham, director of special projects and historian for the Booth Western Art Museum, will appear on PBS' "American Experience: Wyatt Earp" on Monday, January 25, at 9:00 p.m. The one hour film will depict the life of Earp who was an officer of the law for a large portion of his life, and is perhaps most known for his participation in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Ariz. Dunham, who has been fascinated by cowboys and Indians since a young age, went to Arizona last summer to be interviewed on why the story of Earp and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is still viable, important and interesting. Check out the article in today's Daily Tribune News for more information about Dunham's participation in the film.
