Summary

On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, nine men clashed in what would be known as the most famous shootout in American frontier history, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Thirty bullets were exchanged in thirty seconds, killing three men and wounding three others. Author Tom Clavin peers behind decades of legend surrounding the story of Tombstone to reveal the true story of the drama and violence that made it famous. Clavin also digs deep into the vendetta ride that followed the tragic gunfight, an act that solidified the myth of Wyatt Earp
