Epitaph by Mary Doria Russell

I discovered this book after a recent trip down to Tombstone when my craziness for anything Tombstone-esque was at an all time high.  I'm glad I found it.

This book isn't the Earp tale you've heard before.  It's not the OK Corral shoot-out you'd expect.  Wyatt doesn't read like a hero.  The Earp women have a larger part than they do in anything else I've read.  Politics are king.

This is a great find.  If you like the Old West or Tombstone, if you think you've heard the tale, or if you enjoy politics, this is a book for you.

Highly recommended.
