Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah and Mark planned a trip to visit the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and watch the reenactment of the gunfight between the lawmen and the outlaw cowboys. Little did they know that this trip would be one that they would remember for the rest of their lives. The moment they arrived at Tombstone and got out of the car and stepped foot on the abandoned streets they felt as though they weren’t alone. Immediately, ghostly figures were in hot pursuit and if that wasn’t enough to make them run back to their car and head back home they noticed something even more unsettling. The town itself seemed to be changing around them, the buildings flickering between their modern-day facades and their 19th-century appearances. It was as if the very fabric of time was unraveling, pulled apart by the spectral violence that had erupted in their midst. "Mark, look!" Sarah gasped, pointing at the Crystal Palace Saloon. For a moment, it stood in its original glory, gas lamps flickering in the windows, the sounds of a player piano and raucous laughter spilling out into the night. Then it shifted back to its restored state, a silent monument to a bygone era. "It's like the whole town is being pulled back in time," Mark whispered, his voice filled with awe and fear. "We're not just fighting ghosts; we're fighting history itself." They ducked into an alleyway to catch their breath, the moonlight casting long, twisted shadows that seemed to reach out for them like grasping fingers. Sarah leaned against the wall, her heart pounding, when she felt something wet and warm on her hand. She looked down and let out a choked scream. The wall was bleeding. "Oh God, oh God," she whimpered, pulling her hand away. The bricks were oozing a dark, viscous liquid that smelled of iron and gunpowder. "Mark, this place... it's soaked in blood. It's in the very stones." Mark took her hand, his face grim. "The violence, the hatred—it's seeped into everything. That's why the ghosts can't rest. They're part of Tombstone itself." A cold laugh echoed through the alley, making them both freeze. From the shadows emerged the spectral figure of Doc Holliday, his face a mask of sardonic amusement. "Well, ain't you two just the smartest little historians," he drawled, his ghostly voice carrying the hint of a Southern accent. "You're right, of course. This town, this forsaken patch of desert—it's a character in our little drama, just as much as any of us." Sarah found her voice, though it trembled. "You were a doctor once, weren't you? You took an oath to preserve life. How can you be part of this... this endless slaughter?" Holliday's smile turned bitter. "Preserve life? My dear, life preserved me, trapped me in a body racked with consumption, in a world that only valued a man by how fast he could draw. I came west to die with my boots on, and by God, I did." His figure flickered, and for a moment, they saw him as he must have been in life—pale, wracked with coughs, yet his eyes burning with a fierce vitality. "But you did more than die," Mark said. "You killed. You, the Earps, the Cowboys—you turned this place into a symbol of violence." "Violence?" Holliday spat. "Boy, you don't know the half of it. The O.K. Corral was just the spark. After that, it was a war. Morgan Earp, shot in the back. Virgil, his arm shattered. Wyatt, riding out with a vendetta posse, leaving a trail of corpses from here to the Mexican border."

Download or read book Tombstone written by Sean McLachlan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gunfight at the OK Corral on 26 October 1881 is one of the most enduring stories of the Old West. It led to a series of violent incidents that culminated in the Vendetta Ride, in which Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and several other gunslingers went after their rivals the Cowboys. Like most tales of the Wild West, the facts are buried under layers of myth, and the line between good guys and bad guys is blurry. Wyatt Earp, leader of the so-called “good guys”, was charged with stealing horses in the Indian Territory in 1870 and jumped bail. Becoming a buffalo hunter and gambler, he got into several scrapes and earned a reputation as a gunfighter. Several times he helped lawmen arrest outlaws, but usually his assistance came more because of a personal grudge against the criminal than any real respect for law and order. He even got fired from a police job in Wichita for beating up a political rival.

Download or read book The Last Gunfight written by Jeff Guinn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This myth-busting account of the most famous gunfight in American history reveals the truth about Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the shootout itself. On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot in Tombstone, Arizona, a confrontation between eight armed men erupted in a deadly shootout. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral would shape how future generations came to view the Old West. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons became the stuff of legends, symbolic of a frontier populated by good guys in white hats and villains in black ones. It’s a colorful story—but the truth is even better. In The Last Gunfight, historian Jeff Guinn draws on archival research as well as new material from private collections, including diaries, letters, and Wyatt Earp’s own hand-drawn sketch of the shootout’s conclusion. Digging beneath popular lore, Guinn delivers a startlingly different and far more fascinating picture of what actually happened that day in Tombstone—and why. “The most thorough account of the gunfight and its circumstances ever published.” —The Wall Street Journal
