For anyone with a love for American history and folklore, Tombstone, Arizona, is still very much Wanted! For a few lucrative years, the “Town Too Tough to Die” was Eldorado for goldstrikers, ore assayers and grubstakers. Here in 1881, the “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” transpired, mismatching the formidable Earps, Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan, and Doc Holliday, against cattle-rustling cowboys, the McLaurys and Clantons, including 19-year-old Billy Clanton, not too tough to die. Silver ecstasy had found Indian scout and prospector Ed Schieffelin, who established the Tombstone Gold and Silver Mining Company and found other lodes such as Lucky Cuss, Tough Nut, Grand Central and Contention. Today, The Good Enough Mine Tour takes you underground daily to experience this. You can also visit the notorious Bird Cage Theatre and the Tombstone Historic Courthouse and enjoy boutiques and restaurants and, of course, witness brazen gunfights. Hands up!
