Historic Walking Guides Tombstone & Bisbee is a new title in the series from Destinworld Publishing.
Probably 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. These towns provided at least the chance of getting rich although few did.
This guide to the two neighboring towns takes you through the streets that still ooze Wild West history, with many original buildings still telling the stories of frontier days. From the OK Corrall in Tombstone, where the famous gunfight involving Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, to the 1000 steps in Bisbee, built to transport goods around the former mining town.
In an ideal and compact size, this book guides the visitor through every corner of the towns, past all of the historic buildings and attractions, including many museums and historic hotels.
Jane Eppinga is an award-winning author of books and over 200 articles on Arizona and Western history.
