Finally, a compelling, accurate look at the Wild West's most famous dentist. This profusely illustrated, full-color book is loaded with rare photos -- some never before published. Over eighty additional color illustrations by the author help flesh out Doc Holliday and his world so that we can almost smell and hear Tombstone, Dodge City and all the frontier boom towns he frequented. Also included is one of the most detailed and best illustrated accounts of the Gunfight Near the O.K. Corral ever published!
If you have seen the recent movies Tombstone and Wyatt Earp you no doubt have many questions about Doc.
Did Doc Holliday kill Johnny Ringo like he did in the movie "Tombstone?" Were the movies accurate when it came to Wyatt Earp and Doc's relationship?
- Did Doc really fire three shots from a double-barrel shotgun like he did in "Tombstone?"
Who's better -- Val Kilmer as Doc in "Tombstone" or Dennis Quaid as Doc in "Wyatt Earp?"
- What happened to Big Nose Kate?
All these questions and more are answered in this comprehensive and historically accurate look at Doc Holliday. Written in a no-nonsense, straight ahead style, this revolutionary, new style history book is informative for young and old alike. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs, drawings, paintings, and maps, this book is sure to please any Western history enthusiast.
