The story of Tombstone
The history of Tombstone, Arizona begins in the dusty deserts of the Southwest USA.
A
mining claim that was staked by prospector Ed Schieffelin in March 1877
set roots for the town of Tombstone, located in southeast Arizona about
60 miles from Tucson, Arizona just north of the Mexico border. When Ed
struck it rich, his brother yelled out "You lucky cuss!"
They
named the mine You Lucky Cuss, while others mines such as Toughnut and
Goodenough blossomed nearby. Tombstone, Arizona was incorporated in 1879
and soon swelled to over 10,000 residents. The famous O.K. Corral gunfight with Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp against the Clantons was in 1881.
