Ebook About THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER"Tombstone is written in a distinctly American voice." —T.J. Stiles, The New York Times“With a former newsman’s nose for the truth, Clavin has sifted the facts, myths, and lies to produce what might be as accurate an account as we will ever get of the old West’s most famous feud.” —Associated Press The true story of the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the famous Battle at the OK Corral, by the New York Times bestselling author of Dodge City and Wild Bill.On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, eight men clashed in what would be known as the most famous shootout in American frontier history. Thirty bullets were exchanged in thirty seconds, killing three men and wounding three others.The fight sprang forth from a tense, hot summer. Cattle rustlers had been terrorizing the back country of Mexico and selling the livestock they stole to corrupt ranchers. The Mexican government built forts along the border to try to thwart American outlaws, while Arizona citizens became increasingly agitated. Rustlers, who became known as the cow-boys, began to kill each other as well as innocent citizens. That October, tensions boiled over with Ike and Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury, and Billy Claiborne confronting the Tombstone marshal, Virgil Earp, and the suddenly deputized Wyatt and Morgan Earp and shotgun-toting Doc Holliday.Bestselling author Tom Clavin peers behind decades of legend surrounding the story of Tombstone to reveal the true story of the drama and violence that made it famous. Tombstone also digs deep into the vendetta ride that followed the tragic gunfight, when Wyatt and Warren Earp and Holliday went vigilante to track down the likes of Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill Brocius, and other cowboys who had cowardly gunned down his brothers. That "vendetta ride" would make the myth of Wyatt Earp complete and punctuate the struggle for power in the American frontier's last boom town.Book Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell Review :
I have read quite a lot about the famous OK Corral gunfight and this book is the fullest account I have seen. It is a must read for those who want to learn the story.This account is also very readable, hard to put down, and I finished it in a couple of days.I have been to Tombstone and the OK Corral many times. I have walked the same route the Earps and Hooliday took from Allen Street over to Fremont and down to the back lot at the OK Corral, and the descriptions in the book of that area seem entirely correct.The back lot is now walled off from Fremont so to visit the site of the gunfight one has to enter from Allen Street, but it is worth the small charge.The first impression one gets is that the fight took place in a very small space. Wyatt Earp once drew a map of the lot showing where each person was standing when the fight began and that map is on display in the Gene Autry Museum of the West in Griffith Park. They were very close when the shooting started.I knew that telephone service was available in Tombstone about the time of the gunfight and certainly shortly thereafter and one never sees that in movies. It seems not to fit. What did surprise me in this book was that during the Earp posse Vendetta Ride, the action was followed to some degree in newspapers East and West. People could read about it as it was going on. That, too, is a modern touch that never appears in movies.I noticed that some of the reviews here were critical of the amount of detail in the book. I suppose that depends on taste. I loved the abundant background information. It filled out much of the story for me.One problem was that rather than having too many characters in this history, it didn't have quite enough. There were simply too many interesting people in that area at that time and it had to have been hard for the author to leave some out. One who might have been included was Dr. Goodfellow who treated the wounded and dying after the gunfight and who treated many other Tombstone gunshot victims. He made an interesting observation that a silk handkerchief hit by a bullet would be carried into the wound without tearing and it led to his early exploration of possible bullet proof vests. Fascinating person in his own right.Any amateur who reads about these events is going to be troubled by the question of who were the good guys here. Some accounts portray the Earps as little better than bandits. Others seem unsure.This history makes it clear that the Earps were the good guys and the cowboy gangs the bad guys. Question settled.I had come to the same conclusion years ago by passing on the arguments for and against Wyatt Earp and considering the type of people who befriended and supported him, steadfastly, for many years. In many cases they were honorable men who would have nothing to do with him if he were the scoundrel some would have him be.He wasn't church-perfect by a long shot, but he was one of the good guys. This is a more or less successful book depending upon the reader's wishes and expectations. The title and subtitle (and jacket art) suggest that this will be a book concerning the gunfight and its aftermath. It really is not. The problem is clear. We have a nearly 400 pp. book putatively focused on an event which occupied 30 seconds. Hence, it is very difficult to construct a traditional, three-act narrative which will offer the rhythms of a great novel. Instead, what we receive is history. Now history is wonderful and the historiography here is solid, but instead of a structured narrative we get contextual social and economic history—how the city of Tombstone came to be, how the mines operated and the wealth they contained, how the city grew, what was the city's demography like (overwhelmingly male), how the ranchers survived, how the buoyant business of cattle rustling was conducted, and so on.This is all very interesting and all, in general, well executed. If you are primarily interested in the town of Tombstone and its most salient historical/legendary event, you will love the book. If, on the other hand, you have loved the movies about Tombstone, the Earps, Doc Holliday and the gunfight (and come here for further elucidation), you will be disappointed. The gunfight does not happen until around p. 260, i.e. ca. 70% into the book.If you want to learn about what happened and you want to separate fact from fiction and history from legend (without giving up a still fascinating story) you should read Casey Tefertiller's WYATT EARP: THE LIFE BEHIND THE LEGEND.Hence my difficulty in evaluating the book. As history—4-5 stars; as a book about a legend that is central to our cultural history, 2-3 stars. I settle on 3.5, rounding to 4, but potential readers should be cognizant of what awaits them here.
