TOMBSTONE ARIZONA THE MAKING OF A LEGEND (PT 1)

In the early 1870's Tombstone , AZ was just a rocky mesa in the bleak desert passed by occasionally by Indians. Then the government built a fort nearby to protect travelers. One day in 1877, Camp Huachuca Army scout and long time prospector Ed Schiefflin was turning over rocks outside the fort when he stumbled on a silver deposit. Schiefflin teamed up with two other men and staked his claim on what was to become the largest silver lode in Arizona history. Within two years Tombstone became a boomtown, featuring a bowling alley, four churches, an opera house, 110 saloons, 14 gambling halls, and numerous dance halls and brothels. Under the surface lay tensions that would explode in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881, which made legends of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and many others. The movies tell it one way.
