It took eight long years, but Tombstone finally blasted its way onto True West Magazine’s Top Ten True Western Towns for 2014. Tombstone comes in at No. 9, while Dodge City, Kansas, takes the top spot.
Bob Boze Bell, the executive editor of the monthly magazine, confirmed Tombstone’s ranking on the list, which is compiled each year through voting by the magazine’s staff as well as contributors from all over the world. The 2014 list will be featured in the February issue of the magazine, which has a circulation of 45,000 and bills itself as a major chronicler of the history of the American frontier.
Stuart Rosebrook, Towns editor at True West, said Tombstone has “an excellent committee of volunteers who host superior annual events in honor of Tombstone’s history and work hard to promote travel and tourism to Tombstone and Cochise County.”
