Tombstone's Treasure by Sherry Monahan
When the discovery of silver at Tombstone first became known in mid-1880, there were about 26 saloons and breweries. By July of the following year, the number of saloons in Tombstone doubled. This title focuses on the silver mines, one reason for the city's founding, and the saloons. It offers tales about Tombstone's mining and gambling history.
"It is both shocking and enlightening to learn just how sophisticated Tombstone really was when the Earps, Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Curly Bill strode the boardwalksTombstone actually had telephones, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, a bowling alley, and a swimming pool. Wow! It is so contrary to the Hollywood version of the town... but it's absolutely true." - from the Foreword by Bob Boze Bell"
