Description
Byron Harrington, local Alpine author, will appear at the meeting of the El Cajon Historical Society on Thursday July 28th. Mr. Harrington will share stories and his self published book, "Campo, The Forgotton Gunfight". Similar to the tale of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, history buffs will enjoy this true local history of the gunfight which occurred in December, 1875 in Campo. The Gaskill Brothers were involved with bandidos who made a daring daylight robbery of the town in Campo.
Mr. Harrington became involved in reenactments and is the skit director for the "Hole in the Wall Gang." After many years of research, he set out to write about the Campo incident and is now sharing his accomplishment..
