Tombstone by Jane Eppinga
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.Jane Eppinga has won various honors for her work. She was awarded the Arizona Press Woman Communicator of Achievement Award in 1999. Biology Digest, Arizona Sheriff magazine, Persimmon Hill, Arizona Capitol Times, Tucson Weekly, Good Housekeeping, Arizona Highways, American History, Arizona Daily Star, the Writer, and the Chicken Soup series have all published her work. Pres. Obama received her book Henry Ossian Flipper: West Point's First Black Graduate. Bill Clinton congratulates Flipper on his successful posthumous pardon appeal. She has contributed to Arcadia's Images of America and Postcard History series on multiple occasions.
