Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell (Tom Clavin) - a podcast by Rob Mellon

New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin discusses his book Tombstone.  He covers all of the key figures in the Wild West story including, Wyatt Earp and the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Cochise County Cowboys.  He discusses the early days of Wyatt Earp and how he became one of the most known lawmen in American history.  Clavin also talks about the early life of Doc Holliday and how he met Wyatt Earp and how they became friends.  The conversation also covers the rough and tumble cowboys such as the Clanton's, McLaury's, Curly Bill, and Johnny Ringo.  He suggests what Hollywood portrayals are accurate and which take a great deal of liberties with the story - which often happens when covering the legends of the American West.  Clavin explains what actually happened at the OK Corral and indicates that it did not even occur at he corral.  He finishes with the last days of Wyatt Earp and the last of the Wild West.
