Helldorado
*Helldorado is a nickname for the boomtown of Tombstone, Arizona in the violent silver-mining days of the early 1880's. The reference is to a newspaper letter of the period from a miner complaining that many miners had come to Tombstone hoping to find Eldorado, but had instead found Helldorado.
