The communities that once surrounded the infamous Wild West town of
Tombstone, including Dos Cabezas, Fairbank, Gleeson, Pearce,
Courtland, Charleston, and Milltown, are now mostly ghosts of their
former selves. These rich mining towns had promising futures when
they were first established, but many experienced only fleeting
boom times, like Courtland, a promising copper camp that survived
only 12 years. During its short existence, the town of Charleston,
founded in 1879 as a milling site for ore from Tombstone's silver
mines, was every bit as wild and rowdy as its neighbor. There was
corruption in the region too. Dos Cabezas's Mascot Mine became part
one of the largest stock scandals of the time when it was exposed
around 1900. Today this fascinating, rough-and-tumble history lives
on primarily in faded memories, crumbling remnants on the outskirts
of Tombstone, and in vintage photographs gathered together in this
volume.
