About this title

Review:

Destination Tombstone: Adventures Of A Prospector is the memoirs of Edward Schieffelin, founder of Tombstone, Arizona in 1877. This unabridged account describes the work, fear, terror, awe of nature and natives, cooperation and deceit, as well as honesty and fair-play of the prospector in the American West. Featured within these pages are the true adventures of his narrow escape from a band of Indians; a hair-raising, night-time pony ride; his discovery of the mother load that would bring prospectors to the Arizona Territory in droves; plus, how Tombstone really got its name. Readers will never view the Grand Canyon in quite the same way after reading of Schieffelin's harrowing boat trip through its narrow passage-way. Destination Tombstone tells the real life adventures of an extraordinary man whose life's work set in motion one of the most spectacular silver mining rushes in the history of the United States. Destination Tombstone is the stuff of which legends (and Hollywood movies) are made! -- Midwest Book Review
