Tombstone

Just recently visited the Tombstone Courthouse Arizona State Museum in, of course, Tombstone Arizona. A really terrific museum I must add. This "Images of America" book on Tombstone really helped me fill in for myself some of the details which I was not able to take away from some the courthouse exhibits. (It's hard to read every exhibit description.) This is a very good book for anyone wanting to know more about the history of Tombstone during the late 19th and early 20th century's.

I bought the Deadwood book and Tombstone for my husband. We have traveled there previously and he was interested in the history of these areas. We love the 'Images of America' books. Lots of pictures!

Good book. We have been to Tombstone a few times. Book just more.history of the area.

This book is well worth the purchase. It is a more casual view of historic Tombstone, rather than an academic endeavor. It contains a few factual and proofreading errors (e.g. a picture labeled Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp [correct], but is Wyatt Stapp Berry Earp in the text next to the picture), but nothing that is a serious flaw. You read this book to learn a bit of Tombstone history and to enjoy the many pictures, not to do serious research. Had the book been error free, it would have earned five stars from me.

At first I was reluctant to buy this book because most books have the same picture of the same things and the same people. This book had pictures of everything from buildings to people. The author includes a brief description for each photo and it was really enjoyable to read. However, if you are a history buff most of the descriptions/stories are nothing new.Overall, good book and great pictures.
