Tombstone Arizona - The Town Too Tough to Die

As wild west towns go, this one is known nearly worldwide. It's been depicted in Hollywood and looked at as the model for all other ghost towns. The colourful characters, the history that rode through the dusty streets, and the name alone makes Tombstone a worthwhile destination. You may have heard the stories surrounding Wyatt Earp and the Clanton family, but do you know how Tombstone started? And who founded it? Believe it or not, a miner named Ed Schiefflin kept roaming the harsh desert on his own, looking for a big strike. The townsfolk told him that if he kept venturing out, the only thing he would find would be his Tombstone. Well, Ed found a rich silver strike and, as an ode to those who scoffed him, named his little encampment Tombstone. It is still thriving today. Forget what you've seen in the movies as they have over fantasised what these towns were really like. Come along with us and take a quick tour around the streets of the town "too tough to die. "
