About this listen
The faced the scalpers....the desert...and the love they all had for the same man! Patrick O'Shea – with gold flame hair and eyes the color of a storm, a man as bold, as brave as any who tamed the wild land, but as gentle as the breeze that stirred the heather of his native Ireland. The Valiant Women: SOCORRO – a Spanish madonna, who brought water to parched lips and balm to burned skin. But to Patrick O'Shea, she gave the reason to live. TJUNI – sullen, sensuous, the sole survivor of a peaceful band, who gave her rescuer a gratitude that ripened into passion. TALITHA – a child-woman. She loved her foster father with far more than filial devotion. A drama as deep as the desert canyons, as bursting with life as the desperate land that spawned it!

Story
A deeply divided nation. A shamelessly partisan media. A president loathed by half the populace. Smuggling and gang warfare along the Mexican border. Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26 when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest. Thirty seconds and 30 bullets later, three officers were wounded, and three citizens lay dead in the dirt.
