About this listen
Thirty seconds of gunfire. A century and a half of legend.
October 26, 1881 — a dusty street in Tombstone, Arizona, erupts in the most famous gunfight in American history.
But the truth is far more complex than the myth.
In Tombstone: 1881, author Tim Simpson peels back more than a century of Hollywood gloss to reveal the real men behind the legend — Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan, and Warren Earp, Doc Holliday, and the rivals who faced them in the smoke of the O.K. Corral.
Through exhaustive research and vivid narrative, Simpson reconstructs the rise of the Earps, the politics of power and revenge, and the long shadow that followed when the smoke cleared.
This is not a retelling — it’s a reckoning.
A story of loyalty, violence, and moral ambiguity that shaped the American West and continues to define it.
