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.

In the 1800s, Tombstone was a rowdy silver-mining camp and the
scene of a famous gunfight that enhanced its wicked reputation.
When the rich silver mines were tapped out, Tombstone managed to
survive and lived up to its motto, "The Town Too Tough to Die." The
movie industry enhanced this wild reputation by portraying
legendary gunfights at the O.K. Corral--which never actually took
place at that location. For many years, the town has used its
history to attract visitors by giving them a sense of life in the
Old West. This volume includes many of the postcards tourists
mailed home depicting romanticized and legendary views of
Tombstone.
