Prescott/Tombstone Connections

While Bradley G. Courtney was researching for his books about the history of Prescott’s Whiskey Row, he began noticing the many connections Prescott and Tombstone shared, on both sides of the world-famous Tombstone dramas of 1881-82. From Doc Holliday and Virgil Earp to John Behan and Frank Stillwell, and so much more. Courtney is now in the process of researching and writing a series of books and articles illuminating the tied histories of Prescott and Tombstone. Bradley will be sharing some of those discoveries with the Prescott Corral of Westerners, an organization dear to his heart.
