The story of Tombstone

The history of Tombstone, Arizona begins in the dusty deserts of the Southwest US.

A mining claim that was staked by prospector Ed Schieffelin in March 1877 set roots for the town of Tombstone, located in southeast Arizona near Tucson.

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.
