The history of Tombstone began with Edward Schieffelin, a prospector in search of silver. In March of 1877, Schieffelin decided to head off east past Fort Huachuca in search of wealth. The locals told him, he was crazy. The area he was venturing into was Apache Indian country. Everyone said he that the only thing he was going to find was his own tombstone.
