Yesterday’s News…Today!

Rhonda Rodentilly, Document Historian

This is really neat. You can still visit the Tombstone Epitaph printing office. Get a look at how newspapers were printed back then. You can even look at the original paper account of the gunfight at the OK Corral. How cool is that? Okay, so you can’t get to Tombstone right now. That’s fine because you can still order a reproduction of the gunfight account. If you are interested, contact us and we will send you details of how to do that.

The Epitaph was first published by Philip Clum, a fan of the Earps, on May 1, 1880. Clum had a printing press shipped from San Francisco to Tucson. It made the trip from Tucson to Tombstone by oxcart! Wow.
