Tombstone sits less than 100 miles from the Mexico border in the
middle of the picturesque Arizona desert and also squarely at the
heart of America's Old West. Silver was discovered nearby in 1878,
and with that strike, Tombstone was created. It soon grew to be a
town of over 10,000 of the most infamous outlaws, cowboys, lawmen,
prostitutes, and varmints the Wild West has ever seen. The gunfight
at the O.K. Corral made Wyatt Earp and John Henry "Doc" Holliday
legendary and secured Tombstone's reputation as "The Town Too Tough
to Die." In this volume, more than 200 striking images and
informative captions tell the stories of the heroes and villains of
Tombstone, the saloons and brothels they visited, the movies they
inspired, and Boot Hill, the well-known cemetery where many were
buried.
No two towns so personify the lure of the American West as much as
Tombstone and Bisbee, Arizona. These boom towns welcomed miners
looking for a chance to get rich, and Tombstone was immortalised in
movies and folklore from the period because of characters such as
Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Through a series of detailed walks
around Tombstone and Bisbee, which have been updated for this
edition, and accompanied by historic photographs and maps, this
book uncovers the history of the two towns for the visitor. Jane
Eppinga is a multi-award winning author who has written many books
on Western history.
