No two towns so personify the lure of the American West as much as Tombstone and Bisbee, Arizona. These boom towns welcomed the hard rock miners from Europe as they sought to extract the silver and later the copper from the earth. They provided at least the chance of getting rich, although few ever did. Today the towns are living museums. With remnants of the glory days of the Wild West on every corner, visitors can marvel at the locations immortalised in movies and folklore from the period, where characters such as Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the infamous Clantons once roamed. Through a series of detailed walks around Tombstone and Bisbee, accompanied by historic photographs from the Arizona State Archives, Arizona Historical Society, the Rose Tree Museum, and the Tombstone Courthouse, this book is the perfect companion to any visit. Jane Eppinga is a multi-award winning author of over 200 articles, and has written many books on Western history. She is a member of Western Writers of America and is an authority on southern Arizona.

At the turn of the century, Bisbee, Arizona was one of the largest copper mining camps in the world. Located in the Arizona Territory, Bisbee soon became the "liveliest spot between El Paso & San Francisco," a true urban outpost on the frontier. Built to last by the mining interests of the day, Bisbee has been architecturally preserved since 1910. The photographic essay explores Bisbee as it was yesterday with thirty-four historic photos from the period of 1886 through 1937. Thirty-four accompanying photos taken from the exact location today complement the originals. Fortunately Bisbee has not been a developer's paradise & the results of this book document an amazing similarity in many of the scenes. Surely, there will never be another Bisbee. These photos will fascinate the student of architecture! Today Bisbee features the Queen Mine underground tour, the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum, a surface mine tour, & Historic District tours. So explore this wonderfully preserved copper mining town in our 64 page soft cover photo essay & then visit us in person!
