Tombstone Arizona - The Town Too Tough to Die
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2021
- As wild west towns go, this one is known nearly worldwide. It's been depicted in Hollywood and looked at as the model for all other ghost towns. The colourful characters, the history that rode through the dusty streets, and the name alone makes Tombstone a worthwhile destination. You may have heard the stories surrounding Wyatt Earp and the Clanton family, but do you know how Tombstone started? And who founded it? Believe it or not, a miner named Ed Schiefflin kept roaming the harsh desert on his own, looking for a big strike. The townsfolk told him that if he kept venturing out, the only thing he would find would be his Tombstone. Well, Ed found a rich silver strike and, as an ode to those who scoffed him, named his little encampment Tombstone. It is still thriving today. Forget what you've seen in the movies as they have over fantasised what these towns were really like. Come along with us and take a quick tour around the streets of the town "too tough to die. "
We are truly grateful to the Birdcage Theater for allowing us to film in this amazing hotel, and full permission to post it here on UA-cam.

This was my all time favourite! We traveled every summer to Arizona to be with grandparents. Grandpa was a pretty fast gunslinger himself, was also a sheriff out there. This meant so much to me! Thank you for picking this place and reviving good child hood memories. You two are great. 👍👍
Glad we brought back some fond memories,Barbara. We love Tombstone and all it’s history. Thanks for sharing about your Grandpa. We bet he had some stories to tell. We did a series on the ghost towns around Tombstone too. Not sure if you have seen them. It’s the Ghost Town tour from Cochise to tombstone and all those along the way.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you for letting me know about the other ghost towns around Tombstone as I haven't seen them yet. You too are very kind and personable, like a friend. Hope Tonto is doing well too 🙂
@@barbaraandrulis2765 Thank you so much Barbara, we really appreciate your kind words. Yes Tonto is excellent!
Thank you both for all of the awesome video's that you share. I love the history and the "west" states. N.M. , Arizona, Nev, Utah. Totally beautiful country.
Thank you Dennis. Glad you are enjoying our explores. The Western states does have so much history with all the mines and ghost towns, not to mention the scenery.
That's was great . I appreciate you for sharing.
Thank you Jampa, we are so glad you enjoyed this adventure. We have plenty more to come.
Glad you enjoyed our town.
One of our favourites. Have been there many times, and never get tired of it. The people there are so friendly too.
Tombstone is one of those places one never gets tired of hearing and seeing about.
Glad you enjoyed our version of Tombstone, Arleen.
This was a great video. I learned a great deal from watching and listening to your excellent explanations. Thank you so much for sharing!👍😊
Thank you Bob. We are so happy you enjoyed our video on Tombstone!
Great tour...
Thank you so much. We love Tombstone has a great atmosphere, especially early in the morning before everyone pours in.
Been binging from A to Z with your journey.
I also subscribe to other explorers but you guys are much more laid back and chill, with great backstory.
Thank You, Be Safe! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ..........👣👣👣🌲👀
Glad you stuck around if you started at the beginning. LOL Have had a lot to learn with filming etc, and still improving as we go (hopefully). Thanks for taking the time to watch. We have lots more adventures pinned.
I lived in AZ up until I was 18 and when I was a child I remember the gun fight shows and the candy store, the sweetness literally took my breath away. Visited again in my teens and enjoyed the history and ambience, it was closed at the time and this was after the the second fire I believe. I loved walking on the wooden "sidewalks". We got to see Boothill. Also in regards to Goldfield I knew the family, had classes with the son and his mother was either my teacher or counsel and they owned it for a while. I visited with my family and it was a great trip. Got to visit again 3 years ago and they upgraded it to much to bring in more history. Amazing how much covered. Arizona has so much interesting history, lots of ghost towns, abandoned mines etc. What wonderful coverage you shared.
Happy you enjoyed our explore of Tombstone. We love that old ghost town - one of our favourites. There certainly is so much history in Arizona and the west.
My older siblings grew up in Tombstone. My oldest sister still lives down there. When I visit my sister during the holidays we get an ice cream cone and sit on a bench watching the tourists for fun. I was born in Douglas which is a border town South of Tombstone.
I had the honor of visiting tombstone,, I love the old west but mostly because of horses
the casket wagon is very hunted, it's said u can see someone still looking after the stage.
when night comes you can still hear the old cowboys laughter, old music playing, clinking of glasses. moaning
That's the only place I have a pin in the atlas. Saved my change for a few years before I retired to go there. Never made it an been retired for 6 years now. I watch every video I see about it. Yours is the best. Especially the bird cage. I was thinking of possibly moving there if I could stand the heat. My x boyfriend's sister moved there an was in the reenactment shows until the stage town burned down. She came home for Christmas an gave relatives VHS tapes of her shows. I got my x boyfriend's tape because he's hard to get along with so she stayed at my house and gave it to me instead. She's still there. She has someone drive her out to a mountain an she feeds the deer from her hands. Thank you
Tombstone is one of our favorites. We were really fortunate to be allowed to film in the Birdcage as they have strict no filming policies. Definitely worth a visit.
@@PinInTheAtlas I've read an an watched a video that there's a building that won't let women live there. I was sooo happy they let you film the birdcage! You 2 have a way with people that makes them trust you enough to go to places other people are not allowed to go. Good job!
ive never made it to Tombstone, so thanks for showing what its like in this great video.
Thank you David.
We live 90 minutes from Tombstone and have visited every year for over 20 years. Normally, it's jam packed with people and it's tough to move on the sidewalks. There's a lot to see there including a mine tour behind the main streets. The Crystal Palace is a great place to eat. We hope to take a trip there this fall.
We love Tombstone too. We spent 7 days there filming this video and some of the other ghost towns nearby. We do hope you make the trip - there is so much to see.
We have been to tombstone many times and always enjoy the people and the trip.
Looking forward to another trip. Alot of history in that town.
Ron
I was disappointed that you folks didn't play the piano and sing for us lol
You haven't heard our singing voices. We wouldn't want to scare people off! 😂
147 gun shots in the whole building. it has the world's largest card game still going on
Amazing thankyou
Thank you Carol, glad you enjoyed it.
Great tour!
Thank you so much! There is a lot to see in Tombstone, too much to put into one video, plus we want everyone to visit and support a slice of history. Thank you for watching and commenting on our video!
I , never been to Arizona.
Looks very nice
Very interesting . with the history of the town.
Love to visit some days .
Arizona is a wonderful state. There is so much to visit with lots of interesting history.
That was great! It was really like being there with you two. Love the way you tell the stories and slip in some humor here and there. Also not sure if I mentioned it before but both your voices are really calming. Well done guys! 🤠🌲🎼
Thank you so much for the compliments Brad!
This is probably one of your BEST VIDEO'S 👌 👍 😍!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!! 😃✌🤙👍☝👏.
Howz 'bout doing a segment on the SUPERSTITION MTN'S? 😃😊
Glad you enjoyed it. We were fortunate to have permission in filming the Bird Cage as they normally don't allow it. We love Tombstone - so much history if you dig deep enough.
The Superstition Mountains is one on our list
Awesome history thanks for taking us with you
Thank you for coming along with us!
So I had pause at 26:18 to clarify one thing. Being "shot" is likely inadvertant, such as a stray bullet.
"Murder" is taking anothers life for one's gain. The gain could be taking another's property (usually money) or to gain a bit more freedom from a crime witnessed by another.
To "kill" is taking another's life in self defense, in defense of a spouse, one's children (in those days children were legal property until age 18 if I a not in error), one can kill in defense of someone who cannot defend him/herself, one can kill for tangible property including livestock, and one can kill another if one fears for other's life and safety.
Arizona has statutes that elucidate the above and more, such as threatening to use physical force or deadly. One can "brandish" a weapon. My go to statute to elucidate the above is, "A.R.S. 13-411. It easily found in the internet, but the Arizona Legislature site is the most accurate.
Finally, Arizona is a Constitutiona Carry state. That means anyone including visitors to the state who is not legally barred from carrying a weapon such as a felon can carry open or concealed without a license or permit.
Check out, A.R.S. 13-411. Oh, please forgive for clarifying more than one thing. I do have more. 😃
Wow!,absolutely amazzzzzing! One of the best time capsules buildings of the past , that i have ever had the pleasure of seeing!💕😍😀
Thanks so glad you enjoyed it, Lyneeta! Tombstone itself is quite the time capsule. There is so much there it's hard to capture it all in one video. Definitely a pin for your atlas!
Not too bad at all. One minor item - Morgan was shot in the Campbell and Hatch Saloon across the street from Big Nose Kates. The business that is in that building now has a pool table standing 'just about' where the original was. The building was later expanded into what was a back alley. History is fun.....
There’s so much to see in Tombstone,Gabby. And what a great place to spend a few days mooching around. We love history too. Thanks for your comment. This is one of our older videos and if we were to film it now we’d do it totally different. Still learning. Glad you enjoyed our explore.
@@PinInTheAtlas Re "Big Nose Kates" saloon. The left 2/3 was the site of the Grand hotel. It burned. Interestingly enough the ashes are still on the dirt underneath, never cleaned up.
The video I'm waiting for is one that gets into the foyer of Schieffelin Hall, and gets a closeup of the chandeliers. Now electric, but it looks like the original kerosene lamps each had two wicks. Unique, or common practice, I don't know. So much to learn, so little time.
@@tombstonegabby Oh wow we had no idea thank you for the info!
However you can tell a lot of dust and moss. The orbs emit there own light .👻
also want to mention we had a couple paranormal experiences there. One was down stairs standing next to the railing by the poker table. Have picture of it.
The other was by the bar upstairs near the entrance.
Ron
That is incredible! We didn't have any experiences while we were there, even though we were hoping to. We really enjoy Tombstone and the other ghost towns in the area!
the casket wagon hauled a body a day to boot holl
id you can see a ghost face in glass of the casket wagon
Sizin videolarınızı çok seviyorum sanırım nedeni westerin filimler çok vetesrin filim izlerim çocukluğumdan beri yine güzel hoş bir classıc westerin tarzı video olmuş bana göre bu macera içinde çok teşekür ederim🇹🇷❤🥰👍
Başımın üstünde yerin var. Maceralarımızdan keyif aldığınız için çok mutluyuz. Bu eski westernler harika. Ayrıca seyahatlerimizde bize ilham verdiler.
I've been here a few times.. love it there. ❤️❤️❤️the birdcage is haunted by an old miner that lived in a tunnel down under. Felt and seen some crazy things happen to me...
It is an amazing place, would love to have had an experience there! What did you experience if you don't mind sharing?
@@PinInTheAtlas I felt my hair being played with and I few soft pokes on my back and shoulders...
@@Regina0964 That is amazing! I have had experiences like that myself in several different locations and even in a few places, we have explored! Love hearing stories like that. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Regina!
I have a feeling old ROOK deserved what he got.
Hey guys at about 8:21 are there light orbs shooting around Andrea ?🤔🤗👻
We will have to go back and take a second look at that footage!
That's my coffin next to the Hearse. It was used in the movie Tombstone.
Its like watching Mr Rogers, its a wild west town get a little lively! We're not little kids
You do realise Tombstone has become a more family friendly tourist attraction right? They don'y shoot each other in the streets anymore.
Bird cage. And hotel. Is I will say Busyest I wont say most. Haunted
Josephine was very beautiful
How can you live in Arizona with out a trip to Tombstone, Yee-Haa!!! Think i'd wonder about 7 aces in the deck. What happened to Lester Moore at the graveyard? You know; " No Les ,No Moore".
I don't think anyone could ever get bored of Tombstone. There is so much to see there.
Is it just me or were there a lot of orbs recorded?
We actually hadn't noticed them before!
They didn't move like dust in air, like when you swipe your arm through the air would stir dust up. Orbs went from bottom of camera view, to the top of it.
Almost straight up, each of them.
@@williampyatt3805 Really, that is interesting we will have to go back in and take a look. They do say the birdcage is extremely haunted so that would make sense. Thank you for picking up on that!
I checked on Google and it said $25 is equivalent to $479.95 nowadays
I know that is crazy, isn't it? Every day for 2 years, Russian Bill spent that much... Wow!
Unless you filmed this video prior to July 2021 you totally missed the Arizona Rangers Museum. There is a great amount of history there.
As you were going downstairs in the Bird Cage Theater I noticed that a large cloth with graphics is missing. It was the cieling in the theater. Back in the day they covered a cieling with such a cloth. The one from the theater was hung on that wall as you walk downstairs to preserve it. It had seen better days and it was hanging on the wall to make it last longer (fun fact).
You totally missed the the gallows on the other side of the court house were prisoners were taken to be hung upon conviction and sentencing. Back in the day the law and justice were carried out forthwith, immediately, now. There was no reduced bail, or catch and release, or coddling of murders and rapists in a special cell, or an insane asylum like the do in commiefornia, nueva york, d.c. chicago, and other places. The law was obeyed or criminals would face consequences for real. But I think I veered a bit here.
Allen street used to be a dirt street. Some years ago I visted Tombstone with my sister and Allen street was paved with black top!! I thought, "Who was the ignoranus who ordered such a vile, shameful, detestable horrid thing!! 🤬
I am guessing others voiced their horror and dismay because it is back to being dirt. I think all they did was cover the black top with dirt.
Fun fact: The world's largest rose bush is in Tombstone!! One can stand underneath and if memory serves me I think you can picnic there. I failed to see that in the video.
Fun fact: The Crystal Palace Saloon still has the original bar when the establishment was rebuilt after the fire!! Google it.
Sad fact: (Sad because of population growth and worst are commiefornians coming to commiefornia my Arizona): From the Tombstone Cemetary you can see the "new" Tombstone High School. The old High School building and grounds are still there with the front of the building facing Hwy. 80 and back facing Allen Street. It is across from the Crystal Palace Saloon on 6th Street and "caddy corner" from the Bird Cage Theater.
There is also a stage coach repair shop as you continue North on Allen Street and the Tombstone Cemetary across the street from that shop. My mother and oldest brother are buried there. The cemetary is closed now meaning that no one else may be buried there. So I may chose to have my ashes spread over the area from a UH1H if one is still available 60 years from now.
Finally, check out the Arizona Rangers history and it's first captain's adventures/life prior to becoming a Ranger. Check out the gun fights of the Arizona Rangers.
I have to convey that I did enjoy this video because my family grew up in the area and my oldest sister still lives down there. I now live in the Arizona mountains
This was filmed late 2020.
We didn't know about the rose bush! How amazing is that!
We did know about the cemetery. Maybe ashes don't count as a burial!
There is so much to see in this amazing town. Too much to film and document in a short video. This was a taster to encourage people to visit and support the local establishments.
We love Tombstone.
@@PinInTheAtlas As an aside is Bisbee South on 80 where the miners were violently striking and the Arizona Rangers had to step in to squash the mayhem. At a coulpe of miners were killed and many were literally railraoded out in cattle cars. Check it out. I am from Arizona and I have seen everything here. There really is much to see and learn.
I really enjoy your videos, thank you.
@@slowcountryboy476 Thank you. Glad you are enjoying our pins. We did pay a visit to Bisbee, but it was too crowded for us to film . Maybe on our next visit.
If you have any suggestions of explores please email us.

Quite possibly!

That story about" Russian Bill" is that the same " Russian Bill" that was hung in Shakespeare new Mexico?
Apparently so, Eric. That is what we were told.
@@PinInTheAtlas ive got a funny story to tell about " Russian bill" . ( bill tattenbaum) .. the story says,, ,About two years after he was hung his mother in Russia contacted the Russian embassy ( in New York I believe ) asking if they could locate him because he had not been heard from in several years,, and Because his last known location was Lordsburg new mexico the embassy contacted law enforcement there. The law enforcement man was a interesting guy named Dangerous Dan Tucker, he told the Russian embassy that Russian bill was dead when asked if he knew what he died from he told them " some kind of neck problem"....
Russian bill was friends with the Clayton's but he left Tombstone before the troubles with the Eyrps, him and another person named Sandy I dont recall that person last name were hung side by side inside a bar in Shakespeare new mexico. They were known cattle thief. Sandy was convicted of shooting a bar tender ( he survived) Russian bill was convicted of minor crimes including being " a general nuisance " they were basically lynched.
@@ericsimpson1176 Sounds familiar. Thanks for sharing that, Eric
Several inaccuracies
We do our best to give correct information. Like most of these places, over time stories are embellished. Research becomes more difficult as there is so many conflicting reports on the internet. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
been there several times when i lived in arizona,please checkout my buddy jerry skinners video of tomstone,it"s excellent history,he"s on youtube smitty out !!!!
Already subbed to his channel. I enjoy watching some of the biographies
What were the chances of getting a dose of the gift that keeps on giving for your 25 bucks?
Probably pretty high!
