As the Wild West fades, legendary gunmen Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday drift aimlessly between towns, their storied exploits reduced to whiskey-soaked anecdotes. But when they arrive in Tombstone, Arizona, the past catches up to them in a deadly confrontation at the O.K. Corral. McMurtry's gritty, elegiac tale charts the twilight of these American icons, their fabled bond tested by the encroaching modern world.
