Ride the Devil’s Herd
Wyatt Earp's Epic Battle Against the West's Biggest Outlaw Gang
Tombstone told through the Cowboys rather than the Earps, by the genre's most exacting researcher.
John Boessenecker retells the Tombstone conflict through the Cochise County Cowboys, the loose confederation of rustlers and stage robbers the Earps were fighting, rather than through the Earps alone. Drawing on court files and newspapers across several states, he treats the gunfight at the O.K. Corral as one episode in a longer campaign, and the research is unusually exhaustive even by the standards of the field.

Boessenecker is by far the most talented author writing about gunfighters today. His encyclopedic knowledge is evident here on almost every page.
