Tombstone
NAME: Tombstone
STATE: Arizona
Tombstone is a very authentic western town, where real gunfighter lived and died. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday made this town real famous at the OK Coral shootings.
As you walk trough the town, you feel you’re in a film set. People dressed like 150 years ago, and they re play the old OK coral shootings and other things, it’s like a street theater. I wondering what kind of evening programs do they have in the saloons? I never stayed more than a couple hours, maybe I should.
One of the best feature of the town is Big Nose Kate’s pub, which is close to my heart, one reason is because she was a fellow Hungarian, and she was Doc Holiday’s wife. Of cores she had a life before and during marriage, and of cores after Doc died, but she loved him to her rest of her life.
The very best thing in the town is the the only original building what is a untouched saloon that you can check out for a little bit of money. The beds, the poker table is stay as its left, and covered with dust. They don’t dust it so nothing will move its preserved as it was left 100 years ago. The salon got some original bullet holes and the gentlemen who working there gives you a very interesting speech about the building. I have to tell you, back then, they knew how to entertain people. The bars weren’t bars like these days, its got everything. Stage, rooms for the girls, the bar with live music and also poker room and who know what else did they do back then.
Not far from the town you can see a sad cemetery that is call Boot Hill Cemetery. It not just sad like any other cemeteries, it sad because almost no body died by natural cause. Most of them were killed. Some of them were hanged by mistake. That was the wild west. It was hard to survive.
