It's a tough business, it's a big business. I got a big stake in it. And there's no man west of the Rio Grande big enough to take it away from me." * STORYLINE: Luke Slaughter was a Civil War cavalry officer, turned cattle rancher, in post-Civil War Arizona Territory near Fort Huachuca and the town of Tombstone, not far from the border of Mexico. * Luke Slaughter of Tombstone popularity has stood the test of time - sadly, the man who held the top billing in the series, Sam Buffington, didn't survive to see this happen; he died at the age of 29, a victim of suicide.
