Congratulations... This
stands apart from the usual Tombstone-centric site. No rehash of
who-fired-first at you-know-where. I like the mix of topics ranging from
other key events the Earp/Cowboy/Behan narrative that hooked so many of us to
the standalone topics, such as Wyatt's home, that flesh out the lives in that
narrative. And your willingness to engage in open dialog about old and
current controversies, such as Cottonwood and
Drew's, setting forth your evidence for all to see, is something I really
appreciate. Any historian setting foot in these historical mine fields
can only benefit greatly from the full discussion you seek to encourage.
Finally, I love the posting of primary documents. Great job there.
Again, congrats and continued success.
