Attention to Detail: When I visited a Tombstone film locale near Elgin, Arizona, in June 1993, I was struck by the authentic outfits and gear on a motley crew of cowboys known as the Buckaroos. Their studies of historical photographs showed in the film. These meticulous craftsmen worked their magic and added a layer of authenticity that the 1993 Western’s closest rival, Wyatt Earp, did not have. — Tombstone set photos By Bob B
