Where the West was won. ust outside of Tucson lies the town of Tombstone. While once a booming area as a result of an abundance of silver found at the site, Tombstone no longer enjoys such a run of luck but visitors can head over to see a real former ‘wild west’ location that used to be feared Apache territory. The town attached gunslingers and prospectors, and some of the old flavor still remains for those wanting to see a slice of the past.
