In this retrospective, award-winning historian Jane Eppinga reveals the unique history of the hard-rock mining towns and rowdy camps that once surrounded Tombstone. Eppinga is the author of previous Images of America volumes on Tombstone, Tucson, and Apache Junction, and here she presents more than 180 images culled from sources including the Rose Tree Museum, Arizona Historical Society, Arizona State University archives, Arizona State Archives, and private local collections.
Title: Images from the Past!
Author: Staff Writer
Publisher: Tombstone Times
Date: January 2010 Author Jane Eppinga has compiled another
wonderful view of the past. Her newest contribution to the Images
of America collection offers the reader a glimpse into the past of
not only early Tombstone but also the surrounding towns, some of
which are known as ghost towns today. This collection of
photographs should be in everyone's library that enjoys the
voyeuristic way of observing what came before us here in the old
west town of Tombstone. Were it not for those images captured long
ago, we would have only our imagination with which to visualize the
images of this county's past. But thankfully with this new book, we
can not only visualize our town's past, but learn some of the
stories and legends that go along with such places surrounding
Tombstone's history such as Charleston, Courtland, Gleeson, St.
David, Fairbank and Pearce. Jane's efforts at collecting these
images of America, Tombstone related are to be applauded for with
her hard work, the history lover can truly enjoy glancing into a
time long ago, but very much on our minds. Images of America -
Around Tombstone by Jane Eppinga is a 128 page softcover book
selling for $21.99 and is available at area bookstores, independent
retailers and online retailers or through Arcadia Publishing at
