The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral---and How It Changed the American West Audiobook

" If you enjoy western history and the names Earp, Holliday, and Tombstone intrigue you, you may like this book. I found the cast of thousands and minute trivia overwhelming and dull. "

" I enjoy a good historical read and grew up near Earp's birthplace, but one would need to be a real Western aficionado to call this a page turner. Guinn did an excellent job with historical detail. "

" This was a very good book that puts aside the myths and attempts to deal with the historical setting in which the characters operated. "

" This one is a well-researched retelling of one of the Wild West's biggest whitewashes. There's no argument from Guinn that the Clantons were troublemakers. But he does well at peeling away the undeserved gilt applied to the Earp circle since the 1920s. The reality of Wyatt Earp and "Doc" Holliday is especially eye opening. "

" The best account of the gunfight and the characters involved that I have read thus far by one of my favorite authors! "

" I also read Guinn's book on Bonnie and Clyde, which was very good, and this one is even better. I think he does a great job of trying to balance out various accounts in order to give a fair reading of what happened in Tombstone. Moves along at a great pace and keeps you engaged. "

" More than I wanted to know about Tombstone and the gunfight. After reading Doc, which I really liked, I wanted to read some non-fiction about Doc Holliday, the Earps and the OK Corral, so I started on this. Too much info. Good for someone more detail oriented than I. "

" Extremely well researched and a fascinating read. You don't have to be a fanatic about the Old West to enjoy this one. "

" Guinn deals with the myths of Wyatt Earp, and does a good job focusing on fact. There's so much myth, it's hard to separate out the real story, but he does a good job of re-evaluating Tombstone. "

" yet another retelling of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral (which is okay, i never tire of the subject). nothing really new in this telling but well written and entertaining. "

" I really enjoyed this. I think it's a well written, well balanced look at a moment in time that has always been very starkly drawn as black and white. Also amazing to realize that all this took place not so so long ago! Also, the geek in me enjoyed reading all the end notes, "

" Really well researched and interestingly written, whether you have an interest in the Tombstone incident, the Earps, the old west or just American history, you will find this fascinating. "

" This book is history written as it should be - interesting, compelling, and thorough, a fine addition to the Tombstone historical record. "
