The distance between Tombstone and Tucson, in 2022 by I-10, is 74 miles and takes 1:14. A man on horseback only traveled 25-35 miles per day. This means that Fawcett would have taken 2-3 days to make the ride to Tucson. As the crow flies, it is 65 miles. It is doubtful that a man on a horse would have been able to travel a perfectly straight line. Even so, it still would've taken at least 2 days to cover the distance.
