A chaotic retelling traces the rise of the Tombstone outlaws led by Clanton and allies, detailing clashes with the Earp brothers including Warren and Virgil. The narrative covers the gunfight era, miner factions, a daring mine siege, a deadly duel between Clanton and a young Earp, and the eventual dispersal of the faction as officials and townspeople react to the violence.
In 1857 a drenched traveler at an inn in In lana claimed to be a sailor bound for a distant town to meet relatives. The next morning he lay dead, and tales of valuables, a sharp Yank landlord, and a doomed treasure hunt emerged. Jonas Stebbins and wife funded a Gulf voyage to locate ancient chests on a reef island near New Orleans, hiring divers and crews. After excavating several boxes and finding Spanish coins worth about 6100, the group headed home, while the narrator reflects on the folly of treasure hunts and the era’s tall tales.
