Description | The Tombstone Epitaph, founded in 1880, symbolized lasting impact in the Arizona mining town. Despite skepticism, it served as a Republican voice under John P. Clum. Political divisions arose, leading to clashes like the infamous 1881 shootout at the O.K. Corral. In 1882, the Tombstone newspaper emerged, later becoming the Daily Tombstone under James J. Nash. The Epitaph shifted political allegiance but retained its name through various mergers and transformations. Revived as a weekly in 1887, it persisted through ownership changes until merging with the Tombstone Prospector in 1924, becoming Arizona's oldest continuously printed newspaper. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1885 of this newspaper. |
