Editorial Reviews

. . . a mixture of fact and fiction . . . the basis for later novels and movies.

. . . the author Ýhas¨ done extensive research . . . The result Ýis¨ the most historically correct account for several years. . . . surprisingly complete in detail.

. . . unique in that it includes a personal perspective about Tombstone from Wyatt Earp himself. . . . Truth or fiction, this is an interesting book and one not to be overlooked by the treasure hunters of the American West.
