Total Wreck is a ghost town in Pima County, Arizona.

The town was built 7 miles (11 km) from Pantano, Arizona, whence "an excellent road" led from the Southern Pacific Railroad line and on to the Empire Ranch.

It has a residential magistrate and a deputy sheriff, and I was informed that in case of trouble with the Indians or roughs ninety men could be mustered within sixty minutes.

"[2] A popular legend of Total Wreck was the story of E. B. Salsig who was involved in a shootout.

He was struck in the chest by a bullet from the other assailant, but he didn't die because he was saved by a large pack of love letters he had in his vest pocket.
