THE TOWN TOO TOUGH TO DIE...

Who hasn't heard of the famous Boot Hill cemetery? There are many graves marked as "unknown"... Back in the wild west there was said to be "a killing a day" in Tombstone--many of these men didn't even have identification on their bodies, so they were laid out on a "cooling board" for everyone to come see. If they were never identified then their grave marker simply read "Unknown."

In the actual battle three of the Clanton gang were killed, Ike and another wounded member escaped. The three Earp brothers all survived. Wyatt Earp spent his final years in California, where he befriended many "western" actors, no doubt giving them plenty of inspiration for their films!

IN THE BIRDCAGE

The "ladies of the night" entertained men in theater boxes overlooking the stage (shown in one of the photos below)--they came to be known as "Bird Cages"--you can also see a photo of one of the "cribs"--a small room with a bed. The song by Arthur J. Lamb "She's only a bird in a gilded cage" was written for these tainted angels of Tombstone... If you get a chance to visit Tombstone don't miss a tour of the Birdcage theater. For a small fee you'll see many antiques and artifacts, and perhaps even meet a ghost. When we visited there was a strong pressure in the building next to some of the furniture. Could it have been "Doc Holliday" next to the actual table where he used to play his favorite game of Fargo?

 

 

BIG NOSE KATE'S--Doc Holliday, renowned gunfighter, settled down in Tombstone with his girlfriend Katie Elder. One of the first prostitutes in Tombstone, she ran her business out of what was once the Grand Hotel--now called "Big Nose Kate's." You can buy food and souvenirs, and look for the resident spirits, when you visit Kate's. Some say this is the most haunted place in Tombstone. The gunslingers from the famous fight at the O.K. Corral stayed there the night before the event. Staff who work there have heard footsteps, seen apparitions in old western apparel, and witnessed items floating and falling by themselves, such as whiskey bottles and glasses. There is a legend associated with the building, from its days as the Grand Hotel. A handyman (known as a "swamper") who lived in the basement was digging a secret tunnel through the wall into one of the silver mines. It is said he stashed a large amount of silver, and his spirit stayed behind to guard his fortune. When owners remodeled the basement there were too many accidents to be explained away, and staff have even been grabbed by an unseen hand... Visit their website--Click HERE
