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.
