Around Tombstone: Ghost Towns and Gunfights (Images of America: Arizona)
Title: Images from the Past!Author: Staff WriterPublisher: Tombstone TimesDate: January 2010Author Jane Eppinga has compiled another wonderful view of the past. Her newest contribution to the Images of America collection offers the reader a glimpse into the past of not only early Tombstone but also the surrounding towns, some of which are known as ghost towns today. This collection of photographs should be in everyone's library that enjoys the voyeuristic way of observing what came before us here in the old west town of Tombstone. Were it not for those images captured long ago, we would have only our imagination with which to visualize the images of this county's past. But thankfully with this new book, we can not only visualize our town's past, but learn some of the stories and legends that go along with such places surrounding Tombstone's history such as Charleston, Courtland, Gleeson, St. David, Fairbank and Pearce. Jane's efforts at collecting these images of America, Tombstone related are to be applauded for with her hard work, the history lover can truly enjoy glancing into a time long ago, but very much on our minds. Images of America - Around Tombstone by Jane Eppinga is a 128 page softcover book selling for $21.99 and is available at area bookstores, independent retailers and online retailers or through Arcadia Publishing at (888) 313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com.
