Rose Tree Museum
The Birdcage Theater is one of Tombstone's most authentic attractions and one of the West's most famous landmarks. Legend has it 26 people were killed in the Bird Cage during it reputed 8 years as one of the wildest and meanest places in Tombstone. Over 120 bullet holes remain in the building. The ladies of the night, plied their trade in cribs suspended from the ceiling in the building. 14 cribs lined the sides of the gambling hall, 7 on each side of the room. The ladies would pull the drapes to entertain their clients. Within these walls once drank and played the likes of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and members of the Cowboy faction, and Doc Holliday, who dealt faro in the gambling parlor. On one occasion, while Doc was dealing, one of his hated rivals, Johnny Ringo, passed by the table. Doc then murmured, "Care to buck the tiger, Johnny? It's the gustiest game in town." Upon hearing this, a drunken Ringo wheeled around, removed his bandana and said to Holliday, "Care to grab to the other end of this bandanna? This is the deadliest game in town." In those days when two men grabbed the opposite ends of a bandanna, they would then fire at each other at point-blank range, generally with both men winding up dead. Undaunted, Doc simply stood smiling, ready to accept the challenge, but ready to use knives, rather than guns. Curly Bill Brocius then interceded, grabbing Ringo and yelling, "Hell, Doc, he’s drunk!” Doc, who had also been drinking, like usual, answered, "Brocius, I drink more by 10:00 a.m. than he can all day." Doc then turned and walked away. One of its most famous distinctions was one of the longest running games of poker ever played. Seating seven players plus a dealer, the minimum buy-in was $1,000.00 and was played around the clock for, 8 years 5 months and three days.

We were visiting at the time when the virus had just started spreading and we weren't able to visit some of the attractions because they were closed. Just a reason to visit at another time.

Tombstone and Bisbee are a very unique part of American history. The towns have done an excellent job preserving their history and sharing their stories with tourists. You feel the history as you move through the shops and museums.

Bisbee

If tourists truly want to see Tombstone, you need to visit Ringo’s Grave, too. It’s a must-see. A lonely place, dark and sullen under a giant five-stemmed blackjack oak. You might not believe in Old West lore, but you are heedful when you approach it. It’s the place where John Ringo died. The tree where he supposedly shot himself in the head with his Colt .45, ending an apparently troubled life. In front of the tree on the west side of Turkey Creek near the Chiricahua Mountain foothills is a body-length cairn with a scratch-worded epitaph: “The remains of this noted gunman and outlaw lie here . . . A coroner’s jury reported the death to be suicide, and Ringo was buried on the spot. There were others who viewed the body and maintained that the July 13, 1882 death of Ringo was murder.” Ringo the legend has had more extravagant claims about him than Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James and Buffalo Bill combined, writes author Jack Burrows in “John Ringo: The Gunfighter Who Never Was.” There is a feeling he was “a coward and a backshooter,” Duhanich says. “But he did stand up to Doc Holliday.” Area newspapers, including those in Tucson, bought the Ringo myth of him being a deadly gunslinger, but the closest he apparently came to killing anyone was when he got mad at a guy in a Safford bar who declined his offer of whiskey for a beer. Ringo shot him point-blank, but hit only his ear. His judged suicide may be the most compelling story. He was cradled in the tree, the rifle placed carefully against it, boots hanging nearby on his saddle. And he was partially scalped. One rumor was Wyatt Earp was after him. But the close range angle of the bullet to the right temple clearly indicated the wound was self-inflicted.

A beautiful place to visit and reflect somewhat near the Tuscan and Benson area. Peaceful setting and walking trails are just what the weary traveler needs to rejuvenate the soul. #localgem #Arizona
