Description: Imagining Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die by Kara McCormack 2016 1st Printing Hardcover When prospector "Ed" Schieffelin set out from Fort Huachuca in 1877 in search of silver, skeptics told him all he'd find would be his own tombstone. What he did discover, of course, was one of the richest veins of silver in the West--a strike he wryly called Tombstone. Briefly a boomtown, in less than a decade Tombstone was fading into what, for the next half-century, looked more like a ghost town. How is it, Kara McCormack asks, that the resurrection of a few of the town's long-dead figures, caught forever in a thirty-second shoot-out, revived the moribund Tombstone--and turned it into what the Arizona Office of Tourism today calls "equal parts Deadwood and Disney"? Kara L. McCormack is a postdoctoral teaching fellow in the Thinking Matters Program at Stanford University. ALWAYS accepting reasonable offers!
