I ask because last weekend I found a bunch of Louis L’Amor books for a quarter a piece because the couple was moving so they just wanted to get rid of a lot. Also, found the Lonesome Dove book (may be multiple stories in one because it’s very thick).

The Earp/Clanton feud is hilarious from a historical sense. It's always portrayed as Good, Clean Cops vs. Dirty, Evil Rednecks, but most of the Clantons were fairly well educated, and a good chunk of the friction was based on the fact that the Earps were running gambling and prostitution rackets, and giving the Cowboys shit for using their services.
Also, the Cochise County fight was entirely along party lines. The U.S. Marshal, the Earps and the town marshall were all Republicans, while the Clantons and Beehan were former Confederates.
Visiting tombstone is definitely on my list of things to do
