Shootout in Holbrook

Holbrook, Arizona suffered badly with the interstate highway’s bypass of Route 66 in 1981, and it has never fully recovered. Within twelve months of rerouting traffic along I-40 rather than through town, forty-five businesses closed. But this is an old town, and hard times are a part of its history. This is evidenced by a dusty lane, lined with long-closed businesses, signed as Bucket of Blood Street, and the story of an incredible frontier era shootout.
