* December 28 – Virgil Earp is ambushed in Tombstone and loses the use of his left arm.

The gunfight, believed to have lasted only about thirty seconds, was fought between the outlaw Cowboys Billy Clanton, Tom McLaury and his brother Frank McLaury, and the opposing lawmen Virgil Earp and his brothers Morgan and Wyatt Earp, aided by Doc Holliday acting as a temporary deputy of Virgil.

Lawmen Holliday and Morgan and Virgil Earp were wounded.

On December 28, 1881, Virgil Earp was maimed in an assassination attempt by the outlaw Cowboys, and on March 18, 1882, they assassinated Morgan Earp.

Virgil Earp had been given the job of Deputy U. S. Marshal for the region around Tombstone only days before his arrival.

Clum and his newspaper tended to side with the local business-owners ' interests, and supported Marshal Virgil Earp.

Virgil Earp

James, Virgil, Wyatt, Morgan, and Warren Earp were a tight-knit family who had worked and served together as deputy marshal, marshal, sheriff, and saloon owners in several towns, among other occupations, and had moved together from location to location.

Wyatt, James and Virgil Earp, along with their wives, arrived in Tombstone during the initial period of its chaotic growth on about December 1, 1879 when there were only a few hundred residents.

Virgil Earp thought that some of the Cowboys had met at Charleston, Arizona and taken " an oath over blood drawn from the arm of Johnny Ringo, the leader, that they would kill us.

Among those involved in the shooting, only Virgil Earp had any real experience in combat.

On July 25, 1880, Captain Joseph H. Hurst, of Company A, 12th Infantry, and Commanding Officer of Fort Bennett, asked Deputy U. S. Marshal Virgil Earp to help him track Cowboys who had stolen six U. S. Army mules from Camp Rucker.

Hurst brought four soldiers, and Virgil invited Wyatt and Morgan Earp, as well as Wells Fargo agent Marshall Williams.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Virgil Earp, along with temporary federal deputies Wyatt and Morgan Earp, Wells Fargo agent Marshall Williams, former Kansas Sheriff Bat Masterson ( who was dealing faro at the Oriental Saloon ), and County Sheriff Behan set out to find the robbers.

Ike Clanton later testified at the Spicer hearing that Doc Holliday, Virgil Earp, Wyatt Earp, and Morgan Earp had all confided in him that they had actually been involved in the stage robbery.

Wyatt and Virgil Earp rode with a sheriff's posse and tracked the Bisbee stage robbers.

Frank Stilwell had just arrived in Bisbee with his livery stable partner, Pete Spence, when the two were arrested by Deputy U. S. Marshal Virgil Earp for the holdup.

Released on bail, Spence and Stilwell were re-arrested October 13 by Deputy U. S. Marshal Virgil Earp for the Bisbee robbery on a new federal charge of interfering with a mail carrier.

Virgil seems to have suffered bad health throughout his life and in some ways lived the life of an invalid.

" However, although Lucretius certainly lived and died around the time that Virgil and Cicero flourished, the information in this particular testimony is internally inconsistent.

Theocritus, who lived from about 310 to 250 BC, was the creator of pastoral poetry, a type that the Roman Virgil mastered in his Eclogues.

According to the Roman poets Virgil ( Aeneid, book v. 864 ) and Ovid, the Sirenum scopuli were three small rocky islands where the Sirens of Greek mythology lived and lured sailors to their deaths.

* Virgil Exner, influential automobile designer, lived in Buchanan during his youth and graduated from Buchanan High School.

Along with Thule, Hyperborea was one of several terrae incognitae to the Greeks and Romans, where Pliny, Pindar and Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero, reported that people lived to the age of one thousand and enjoyed lives of complete happiness.

He lived at Clydebank, 5 Virgil Street ( now 20 Yanko Avenue ) in Bronte and was an elder at Grahame Memorial Presbyterian Church.

Theocritus, who lived from about 310 to 250 BC, invented a new genre of poetry — bucolic, a genre that the Roman Virgil would later imitate in his Eclogues.

The group's total membership, estimated between 20, 000 and 30, 000, was centered in Detroit, Michigan, though the Legion was also highly active in Ohio and one of its self-described leaders, Virgil " Bert " Effinger, lived and worked in Lima, Ohio.

The Abbé Jacques Delille ( 1738 – 1813 ), perhaps the most ambitious descriptive poet who has ever lived, was treated as a Virgil by his contemporaries.

His brother Morgan Earp was assassinated in March and Virgil left Tombstone for Colton, California, to live with his parents and recuperate.

After receiving his injuries in Tombstone, Virgil spent the next two years recovering from his injuries, primarily at his parent's home in Colton, California.

Virgil joined in the frog war as the Southern Pacific attempted to stop the California Southern Railroad, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, from installing a crossing over the Southern Pacific tracks in Colton to gain access to California.

When Colton was incorporated as a city, Virgil was elected as Colton's first City Marshal on July 11, 1887.

Virgil and Allie's Colton home still stands at 528 West " H " Street.

In 1888 Virgil resigned as city marshal and he and Allie left Colton for San Bernardino.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Wyatt Earp led a federal posse that escorted Virgil Earp to the railroad, bound for his parent's home in Colton, California.

Virgil was seen as the pinnacle of Latin literature, and Latin was the dominant literary language of England at the time, therefore making Virgilian influence highly likely.

Later Republican writers, such as Lucretius, Catullus and even Cicero, wrote their own compositions in the meter and it was at this time that many of the principles of Latin hexameter were firmly established, ones that would govern later writers such as Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, and Juvenal.

One example from I. 105 describing a ship at sea during a storm has Virgil violating metrical standards to place a single-syllable word at the end of the line:

" By placing the monosyllable mons at the end of the line, Virgil interrupts the usual " shave and a haircut " pattern to produce a jarring rhythm, an effect that echoes the crash of a large wave against the side of a ship.

Nonetheless, epics have been written down at least since the works of Virgil, Dante Alighieri, and John Milton.

Dante followed Virgil in depicting the same three-charactered triptych of Erinyes ; in Canto IX of the Inferno they confront the poets at the gates of the city of Dis.

The Trojans, according to Virgil, disregarded Laocoön's advice and were taken in by the deceitful testimony of Sinon ; in his resulting anger, Laocoön threw his spear at the Horse.

His prose works on various subjects – Prometheus, dialogues like Symposium ( a banquet at which Virgil, Horace and Messalla were present ), De cultu suo ( on his manner of life ) and a poem In Octaviam (" Against Octavia ") of which the content is unclear-were ridiculed by Augustus, Seneca and Quintilian for their strange style, the use of rare words and awkward transpositions.

Peter the Deacon gives a list of some seventy books Desiderius had copied at Monte Cassino, including works of Saint Augustine, Saint Ambrose, Saint Bede, Saint Basil, Saint Jerome, Saint Gregory of Nazianzus and Cassian, the registers of Popes Felix and Leo, the histories of Josephus, Paul Warnfrid, Jordanes and Saint Gregory of Tours, the Institutes and Novels of Justinian, the works of Terence, Virgil and Seneca, Cicero's De natura deorum, and Ovid's Fasti.

According to Virgil in the fourth Georgic, at one time the bees of Aristaeus, son of Apollo, all died of a disease.

Former Republican Representative Virgil Goode ( VA-5 ) was nominated at the convention in Nashville, Tennessee on April 22, 2012.

The biographical tradition says that Virgil and Maecenas took turns reading the Georgics to Octavian upon his return from defeating Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Some claim that Virgil meant to change them before he died, while others find that the location of the two passages, at the very end of the so-called Volume I ( Books 1 – 6, the Odyssey ), and Volume II ( Books 7 – 12, the Iliad ), and their short length, which contrasts with the lengthy nature of the poem, are evidence that Virgil placed them purposefully there.

The importance of Latin education itself was paramount in Western culture: " from 1600 to 1900, the Latin school was at the center of European education, wherever it was found "; within that Latin school, Virgil was taught at the advanced level and, in 19th-century England, special editions of Virgil were awarded to students who distinguished themselves.

In the United States, Virgil and specifically the Aeneid were taught in the fourth year of a Latin sequence, at least until the 1960s ; the current ( 2011 ) Advanced Placement curriculum in Latin continues to assign a central position to the poem: " The AP Latin: Virgil Exam is designed to test the student's ability to read, translate, understand, analyze, and interpret the lines of the Aeneid that appear on the course syllabus in Latin.

Located at 222 West 23rd Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea, the 250-unit hotel has been the home of numerous writers, musicians, artists, and actors, including Bob Dylan, Virgil Thomson, Charles Bukowski, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Jobriath, and Larry Rivers.

Foucault also came across Hermann Broch's 1945 novel The Death of Virgil at this time, a work that came to obsess both him and Barraqué.

Pope's formal education ended at this time, and from then on he mostly educated himself by reading the works of classical writers such as the satirists Horace and Juvenal, the epic poets Homer and Virgil, as well as English authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare and John Dryden.

Berlioz appears to have been innately Romantic, this characteristic manifesting itself in his love affairs, adoration of great romantic literature, and his weeping at passages by Virgil ( by age twelve he had learned to read Virgil in Latin and translate it into French under his father's tutelage ), Shakespeare, and Beethoven.
