Gunfight at the OK Corral


Who's this guy? Looks like he needs to go to the Mercedes Cafe in Patagonia!


India and Felicia went to Tombstone, Arizona, half an hour from Sierra Vista, and a lovely historic town filled with stores selling dreamcatchers, turquoise jewelry, and sundries.


Felicia was fascinated by the Allen English home, since English was born in Saginaw, Michigan (great song also by Lefty Frizzel), in 1860. At age 20, a law graduate, he moved to Tombstone, worked as a miner, then joined a law firm and served three terms as Cochise County District Attorney.


It must have been quite a shock, coming from all that snow in his native Michigan, to this dry, cacti-laden countryside! What would he have thought, looking at this cactus, growing 150 years later, on his fence!
