Tombstone

If you thought you knew the story of Tombstone, then you need to step back and rethink everything!

I read through this book in one sitting! It was fabulous! The amount of detail, backstories, history, and timelines all come together to paint a vivid portrait of the incidents and factors that led up to the famous shootout. The Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and more are given extensive viewage here, and you can get a deeper look into motives, thought processes and more of each of the main players (and some of the minor players).

Now that I am finished with the book, I am going to sit back and turn on John Wayne's “Chisum” (yes, this features in the book, not a random thought) as I was not aware before now that it was based on a real person, real story, and so much more - (like, for real, I have a masters in history, and this never came up!? I am rather disappointed as most of my professors knew of my love of John Wayne...)

Get this on your to read list now, pre-order it, and prepare to have your mind blown!
