NYTimes bestselling author Tom Clavin was back to talk about his latest work on the story of "Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell. It's the most famous gunfight in the history of the old West. Thirty shots fired in 30 seconds. Three men were dead, three others were shot.  Virgil Earp is maimed, Morgan Earp is killed, Wyatt and Warren Earp plus Doc Holliday gathered a few others guys to track down the men who shot the Earp brothers.
