No two towns so personify the lure of the American West as much as Tombstone and Bisbee, Arizona. These boom towns welcomed the hard rock miners from Europe as they sought to extract the silver and later the copper from the earth. They provided at least the chance of getting rich, although few ever did.Today the towns are living museums. With remnants of the glory days of the Wild West on every corner, visitors can marvel at the locations immortalised in movies and folklore from the period, where characters such as Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the infamous Clantons once roamed.Through a series of detailed walks around Tombstone and Bisbee, accompanied by historic photographs from the Arizona State Archives, Arizona Historical Society, the Rose Tree Museum, and the Tombstone Courthouse, this book is the perfect companion to any visit.Jane Eppinga is a multi-award winning author of over 200 articles, and has written many books on Western history.
