Ameritrekking Adventures: Visiting the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona

This booklet is a sample of a full-length book.  It is Chapter 25 in Ameritrekking and Highpointing: Discovering America the Beautiful.  If you already have that book, don't buy this booklet.

This short story tells the tale of the author's 1995 visit to the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.  Although the details are disputed, there really was a gunfight at the O.K. Corral, a man named Wyatt Earp was really there, and some of the participants really ended up dead.  The town of Tombstone itself came close to dying but didn't.  It is still there today.  You can read about the author's visit right now.  He went there in the same year as the first Ameritrek, the subject of the main book, Discovering America the Beautiful.  In this booklet, you can travel vicariously to a place both famous and infamous and sample the writing in the full book at the same time.

The main book resulted from an 8,000-mile, weeks-long road trip.  Along the way the author visited parks, battlefields, and highpoints, plus much more while driving through 23 states.

Over the years Joseph Whelan drove more than 100,000 miles and spent over a year on the road.  He went to 45 highpoints and many other strange and wonderful places.  He continues to travel and write.  Buy this sample booklet and join the adventure today!
