Wild West photographer Camillus S. Fly, whose work forms one of the primary records of life in frontier Arizona, came to Arizona from Michigan in 1879 and opened a portrait studio in Tombstone, now restored as part of the OK Corral Historama complex. His iconic images, displayed in the small gallery, include some of the earliest photos taken of Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo, photographed soon after his 1886 surrender. Fly’s studio also displays his images of Wyatt Earp, “Doc” Holliday, and many others. What Matthew Brady was to the Civil War, Camillus S. Fly was to Tombstone in its 1880s heyday.
