The Frontier World of Doc Holliday
Eaten by tuberculosis, sustained by alcohol, John Henry "Doc" Holliday walked the streets of Dodge City, Dallas, Denver, Leadville, Deadwood, and Tombstone in their roistering heydays. The frail-looking dentist could be deadly when the drink wore off and someone crossed him. Doc Holliday was a paradox: respectable citizen and notorious gambler, gentleman and murderer, married to a prostitute called Big-Nosed Kate but devoted only to the memory of his mother. Pat Jahns includes a full and exciting account of the shootout at the O.K. Corral.
Pat Jahns also wrote The Violent Years: Simon Kenton and the Ohio-Kentucky Frontier. Roger D. McGrath, a professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles, is the author of Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier.
