Heretofore, the "Tombstone Cowboys" have been portrayed as gun-slinging, snaggle-toothed bad guys bent on destruction with no family history, morals, or redeeming qualities. This book gives us a better understanding of the Earp enemies who have been written off as little more than scoundrels and scallywags. Certainly most of these men rode dark trails, but the Earps were not exactly choir boys. Tough times bred tough men. This is another side to the Tombstone story.

Enrique "Henry" Garfias was one of the most notable law enforcement figures in Arizona's territorial era. As Phoenix city marshal, constable, U.S. deputy marshal and Maricopa County deputy sheriff, he was known as a crack shot and a tenacious man hunter. Dedicated to the rule of law and proud of his Hispanic origins, Garfias was widely respected for his evenhanded approach to policing a frontier town sometimes beset by racial tensions. This engaging biography confirms Garfias' prominent place in the annals of the American Southwest.

Looking out over the sea of faces their expressions reflected hope along with anxiety. The challenges ahead were daunting and too many had little idea of what was in store for them, but Jonah felt he could read most of them pretty well. He'd seen them all many times. As a wagon-master he had to be able to evaluate the men and families that would be driving their teams across rugged and often hostile country in their quest to settle on the new frontier. He knew full well that their whole existence depended on an undying hope, often realized, but always achieved with much effort. Men, women and children would depend on him to guide them to their promised land, the Willamette Valley, over 2000 miles away. The journey ahead, like all the others, would be footnoted with uncountable hardships, heartbreaking losses, newfound loves, encounters with Native cultures and, thankfully, occasionally punctuated with reveries and moments of celebrations!
This story of the westward movement, told from the wagon-master's view, is certainly a wagon train journey filled with Hope and Hardship!
Westward Ho!

The gunfight that took place on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona, is considered the quintessential embodiment of an Old West shoot-out. Yet the controversy over who shot first, who was justified, and who caused it has continued for over 140 years, rarely losing its momentum. 
How dependable were the witnesses at the time? How many were so-called "Earp supporters?" Which ones were "cowboy supporters?" Were any actually neutral? Can we trust the recollections of people caught in a shocking moment of violence, both expected and unexpected? And what were their Vantage Points? 
Follow Joyce Aros as she sets out to pursue a more in-depth examination of the testimonies regarding the gunfight on Fremont Street.
