Hey, guys!

I’m plotting a new story for Camp Nano this April, and it’s a fantasy/historical fiction set in the old west (Tombstone, Arizona, circa 1889 and 1890, to be exact), and I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the things I’ll need to research to make the setting, characters, weapons, and food as accurate as possible. I now know that the .45 revolver, the Colt Peacemaker was the most common gun carried, but there’s still so much more that I need to know.

I don’t want to miss anything, so if you guys can think of anything that I’ll need to research, I’d appreciate it. They’ll be added to my growing list. 🙂

(also if you’re curious, the story is based on the newspaper article from the Epitaph in April 1890 documenting the sighting and killing of a large, featherless, crocodile-like bird; a description that fits the thunderbird or pterodactyl almost perfectly. nobody knows if the story was made up or not, but I’m going to imagine what the story could’ve been, real or unreal.)
