If tourists truly want to see Tombstone, you need to visit Ringo’s Grave, too. It’s a must-see.
A lonely place, dark and sullen under a giant five-stemmed blackjack oak. You might not believe in Old West lore, but you are heedful when you approach it.

It’s the place where John Ringo died. The tree where he supposedly shot himself in the head with his Colt .45, ending an apparently troubled life.

In front of the tree on the west side of Turkey Creek near the Chiricahua Mountain foothills is a body-length cairn with a scratch-worded epitaph:

“The remains of this noted gunman and outlaw lie here . . . A coroner’s jury reported the death to be suicide, and Ringo was buried on the spot. There were others who viewed the body and maintained that the July 13, 1882 death of Ringo was murder.”

Ringo the legend has had more extravagant claims about him than Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James and Buffalo Bill combined, writes author Jack Burrows in “John Ringo: The Gunfighter Who Never Was.”

There is a feeling he was “a coward and a backshooter,” Duhanich says. “But he did stand up to Doc Holliday.”

Area newspapers, including those in Tucson, bought the Ringo myth of him being a deadly gunslinger, but the closest he apparently came to killing anyone was when he got mad at a guy in a Safford bar who declined his offer of whiskey for a beer. Ringo shot him point-blank, but hit only his ear.

His judged suicide may be the most compelling story. He was cradled in the tree, the rifle placed carefully against it, boots hanging nearby on his saddle. And he was partially scalped.

One rumor was Wyatt Earp was after him. But the close range angle of the bullet to the right temple clearly indicated the wound was self-inflicted.

"Everything was excellent and perfect! Room was very spacious, clean and very comfortable. Continental breakfast was amazing! So cute, quaint and walking distance to everything in town. Literally across the street from the OK corral on one side and the Historic courthouse on the other. Walking distance to the highly recommended Silver mine tour. Nextdoor to a saloon and a couple blocks from the Big Nose Kate’s saloon restaurant, Longhorn Saloon and restaurant has the best home cooked food "

Tombstone

"I booked the room for the location. It is within walking distance from everything. I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the room was when I opened the door. We had a late check in and it wasn't a problem to arrange. The lady I talked to even turned the heat on in the room so it wouldn't be cold. I would definitely recommend this jotel to anyone going to tumbstone. when we arrived. "
