Tombstone

Tombstone is a city in Cochise County, Arizona, United States, founded in 1879 by Ed Schieffelin in what was then Pima County, Arizona Territory. It was one of the last wide-open frontier boomtowns in the American Old West. From about 1877 to 1890, the town's mines produced USD $40 to $85 million in silver bullion, the largest productive silver district in Arizona. Its population grew from 100 to around 14,000 in less than 7 years. In 1881, it became the county seat of the new Cochise County.

Tombstone, (town) in Southern Victory
The town of Tombstone was the target of Confederate General Jeb Stuart when he crossed the border into New Mexico. His target was the silver mines there, but the residents did not wish to surrender, resulting in a battle for the town.

The defenders fought back with Winchesters, and even an old cannon. The cannon was put out of action twice. Later, they started sniping from a bell tower, but with the help the Confederates Apache allies, they were able to silence them. The defenders were then pushed back into the town where they made their last stand at the O.K. Corral. The defence was an artillery man's dream and the defenders were shelled into surrender.
