Boot Hill Graveyard- Tombstone, AZ

Tombstone, Arizona home of the Earps (Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan, and James) and Doc Holliday. All things that embody the Wild West including Boot Hill Graveyard the final resting place of many of those that crossed paths with the Earps.




Tombstone was not as I had expected. It was sensationalized and truthfully, full of people trying to making a quick buck on the history that lies within the city limits. Initially, I was a little bent by this, but the more I think about it, Tombstone has always been full of deviants and shady characters. It's almost fitting to see that somethings do stay the same.

All the same it was exciting to stand within Boothill Cemetery and look out over the hills and see what drew so many to make the long journey in horse drawn wagons. Like their modern day counterparts, they were looking to make a little cash and maybe turn their luck around.
