Historical truths

Thirty seconds of gunfire. A century and a half of legend. October 26, 1881 — a dusty street in Tombstone, Arizona, erupts in the most famous gunfight in American history. But the truth is far more complex than the myth. In Tombstone: 1881, author Tim Simpson peels back more than a century of Hollywood gloss to reveal the real men behind the legend — Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan, and Warren Earp, Doc Holliday, and the rivals who faced them in the smoke of the O.K. Corral.

In The Unauthorized Biography of Sgt. Slaughter, author Tim Simpson traces the life and legacy of Robert Remus, the man behind the mirrored sunglasses. From his early days under Verne Gagne’s demanding tutelage to his rise as one of wrestling’s most recognizable figures, this audiobook reveals the man who transformed discipline into art and patriotism into performance.

He was called many things—outlaw, poet, killer, gentleman. But in the dying light of the Arizona Territory, Johnny Ringo was simply a man trying to outrun his own shadow. From the dusty backroads of Texas to the lawless streets of Tombstone, Ringo follows one of the West’s most haunted figures—a man torn between faith and fury, poetry and the pistol. As the world around him bleeds into legend, Ringo searches for something the frontier can’t give him: peace.
