Testimonials
I've been teaching and writing the colorful history of Arizona and the Old West for more than 40 years. Much of the knowledge I've acquired on the subject comes from the papers of the legendary Tombstone Epitaph. Every issue is chock-full of useful information for everyone from the serious researcher to the novice."
- Marshall Trimble, Arizona State Historian
The Tombstone Epitaph, the oldest newspaper still around, is still around because it is the best historical publication anywhere, publishing only Western history.
- Ben Traywick, Tombstone City Historian
