    The Golden Eagle Brewery in Tombstone, Arizona was built in 1879 but was burned down in Tombstones first fire on July 23, 1881. The Crystal Palace Saloon was then built on the same site in 1882. Doc Holliday could have very well spent some Morgans in here.

    Close to home, Presott, AZ's famous Whisky Row I'm sure saw it's share of Morgans slid accross the many saloons along the street. This was the first territorial capitol of AZ and for a long time the only place resembling civilized life....sort of.

    Here is an example of how morgan dollars traveled. This original example of an 1860's Wells Fargo strongbox sold for $11,950.00.
