They came up from Texas driving cattle to Cochise County, Arizona, where they got paid off and spent their money on wine, women, song, and gambling, totally wasting the rest finding themselves with no way to get back. So, they took to herding other folks' cattle . . . without permission and then went after stagecoaches. Soon they discovered that three of the largest and wealthiest towns in the West, Tombstone, Bisbee, and Silver City, were prime pickin's. Take a close look at the outlaws and gunfighters who emerged in droves from southeast Arizona.
