Step right into the heart of the Wild West with us, as we recount the gritty tales of post-Civil War America. We're venturing into the untamed frontier, retracing the steps of the brave men who sought riches but ended up with nothing more than broken dreams. One such man, Raymond Ritter, led us on a fruitless railroad construction job, leaving us with empty pockets and a hunger for justice. As your hosts, we'll share our personal journey - one of us confronting Ritter, while the other opted for the safe route back home.
Our journey sweeps you along the intoxicating gambling highs and shattering lows of Tombstone, Arizona. We'll paint a vivid picture of the legendary Wyatt Earp, a lawman with a fierce reputation and a penchant for a gamble. From the icy landscape of Dodge City to the sun-drenched town of Tombstone, let us walk you through our encounters with Earp and the fascinating insights into his life. You'll almost taste the dust and feel the tension as Earp navigates the murky line between law and vice, his imposing stature a beacon amid the chaos.
But, our adventure doesn't stop at the tales of Earp and Ritter. As we journey through the Wild West, we'll introduce you to the rich history of Dodge City, Tombstone, and Pima County. And of course, we'll delve deeper into the life of Wyatt Earp, a man whose legacy continues to captivate. Our expedition offers a wealth of resources for you to immerse yourself further in this fascinating era. So, grab your hat and join us on this thrilling ride through the untamed Wild West!
