Tombstone is a national historic landmark located in Cochese county, Arizona. It was one of the last wide-open frontier boom towns in the American old west. It was a major silver mining town but is best known for the gun fight at the OK Corral. The town reached its pinnacle of riches and then faded all within the span of eight years. Today it is a tourist town and the historic gun fight is re-enacted several times a day at several locations. If you remember your history or saw the movie you will remember that the Earp brothers: Virgil, Wyatt, and Morgan along with Doc Holliday had a feud that culminated in a "street brawl" with the "Cowboys" Billy Clanton, Tom & Frank McLaury.
