TOMBSTONE The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell

Johnny Heller's rough-hewn voice is perfect for an Old West tale of lawmen and rustlers. Heller delivers all the drama of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, the confrontations that led to the clash between the Earp brothers and Ike Clanton and his gang, and the aftermath. Heller's narration helps listeners create mental pictures of the key figures; for example, he clearly provides contrast between calm Virgil Earp and his hotheaded brother, Wyatt. And Clavin's account isn't just a Western yarn. It includes the research and background details of creative nonfiction. On their way to the famous gunfight, listeners will hear about silver strikes; the settlement and growth of Tombstone, Arizona; Apache resistance; and the mellowing of the Wild West.
