Tombstone

:00:37

1879. The Civil War is over,

:00:40

and the resulting economic explosion
spurs the great migration west.

:00:45

Farmers, ranchers, prospectors,
killers and thieves...

:00:48

seek their fortunes.

:00:50

Cattle drovers turn cow towns
into armed camps...

:00:53

with murder rates higher than those
of modern-day New York or Los Angeles.

:00:58

Out of this chaos comes
legendary lawman Wyatt Earp,

:01:02

retiring his badge and gun to start
a peaceful life with his family.

:01:06

Earp's friend
John 'Doc' Holliday...

:01:09

a Southern gentleman
turned gunman and gambler...

:01:11

also travels west, hoping the dry
climate will relieve his tuberculosis.

:01:17

Silver is discovered
in Arizona.

:01:19

Tombstone becomes
queen of the boomtowns,

:01:22

where the latest Paris fashions are sold
from the backs of wagons.

:01:26

Attracted to this
atmosphere of greed,

:01:29

over 100 exiled Texas outlaws
band together...

:01:31

to form the ruthless gang recognized
by the red sashes they wear.

:01:36

They emerge as the earliest example
of organized crime in America.

:01:41

They call themselves
'The Cowboys'
