"Tombstone, the Arizona town of morbid name and violent memories, at last has a chronicler who is as interested in facts as in gaudy legend. John Myers Myers has written the story of Tombstone's early years with painstaking research and commendable respect for verifiable records. The result is as gaudy as anyone could wish, but it probably comes as close to the whole truth about Tombstone, the Clanton gang, the Earps, and the bloody two-year reign of terror as any history of that time and place ever will."-New York Times Book Review.
