Desire, Deceit and Debauchery


Tombstone was a wild place during Arizona's territorial era, with violence and criminal activity running rampant. It wasn't just the Earp brothers' iconic gunfight at the O.K. Corral that left behind a trail of death and destruction--lawlessness and vigilante justice reigned throughout the Old West era. Driven by tension between the sheriff's office and the local Deputy Marshal, daily life for infamous outlaws, corrupt civil servants, and even ordinary customers of the saloons and brothels was apt to devolve into chaos at any moment.


Join author Cody Polston as he brings to life the characters who walked the dusty streets and left their mark on Tombstone's bloody past.
