Anotace knihy

"A lively and honest picture of Doc Holliday and his frontier world." - Caroline Bancroft, "New York Times". "Frank and honest account of [a] giant." - "Booklist". "This is lively ...and well-documented history." - "Books of the Southwest". "Will please fans of the frontier." - "Kliatt". 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".
