Description

Within the 1800s, Tombstone was once a rowdy silver-mining camp and the scene of a famous gunfight that enhanced its wicked reputation. When the wealthy silver mines were tapped out, Tombstone managed to live to tell the tale and lived as much as its motto, “The Town Too Tough to Die.” The movie industry enhanced this wild reputation by portraying legendary gunfights on the O.K. Corral–which never in truth took place at that location. For a few years, the town has used its history to draw visitors by giving them a sense of life Within the Old West. This volume includes a few of the postcards tourists mailed home depicting romanticized and legendary views of Tombstone.
