The Clantons As A Gang
Despite Hollywood's portrayals in film, the outlaw "Cowboys" were a loosely connected and informal group. Although modern media has portrayed Newman Clanton as the leader of an outlaw gang, there was no gang. There also is no evidence that Newman ever met any members of the Earp brothers, as he had moved to New Mexico by the time the Earps arrived in Tombstone in late 1879.
