What's unique about Two Guns is that its ruins are built atop the ruins of an older, equally ill-fated place named Canyon Diablo, a genuine Wild West ghost town. Canyon Diablo's great claim to fame was that its residents once dug up a dead gunslinger, gave him a shot of whisky, then posed for pictures with the corpse. According to Mother Road lore, Two Guns was originally a trading post, opened in the 1920s by Earl and Louise Cundiff, and a zoo built by "Injun Miller," who was not a Native American. Injun (whose real name was Harry) eventually shot and killed Earl, then later was attacked by one of his caged mountain lions. When Route 66 was rerouted to the other side of Canyon Diablo's canyon, the business folded.
