Destination Tombstone:
Adventures of a Prospector

by Ed Schieffelin
(autobiography of Tombstone's founder)

This is a century old memoir written by Edward Schieffelin, the founder of Tombstone. This unabridged never-before-published account describes the work, fear, terror, awe of nature and natives, cooperation and deceit, as well as honesty and fair-play of the prospector in the American West. Featured are the true adventures of his narrow escape from a band of Indians; a hair-raising, nighttime pony ride; his discovery of the mother lode that would bring prospectors to the Arizona Territory in droves; plus, how Tombstone really got its name. You’ll never view the Grand Canyon in quite the same way after reading Schieffelin’s account of his harrowing boat trip through its narrow passageway. Destination Tombstone tells the real-life adventures of an extraordinary man whose life’s work set in motion one of the most spectacular silver mining rushes in U.S. history and launched the town too tough to die.
