Product Description:
Presents the story of one of the complex and paradoxical gunfighter of the Old West, Doc Holliday. With details of Holliday's spirited exploits, his relationships with such Western icons as Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, and the gunfight at the O K Corral, this book sheds light on one of the mysterious figures of frontier history.
