Doc Holliday’s paramour Big Nose Kate could never get a publisher
to give her the big bucks she demanded to tell the story of her
life, but that didn’t mean she didn’t collect material she
wanted to use in a biography. Over the fifty years Mary Kate
Cummings, alias Big Nose Kate, traversed the West she saved letters
from her family, musings she had written about her love interests,
and life with the notorious John Henry Holliday. Using rare, never
before published material Big Nose Kate stock-piled in anticipation
of writing the tale of her days on the Wild Frontier, the
definitive book about the famous soiled dove will finally be told.
Kate claims to have witnessed the Gunfight at the OK Corral and
exchanged words with the likes of Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcs.
There’s no doubt she embellished her adventures, but that
doesn’t take away from their historical importance. She was a
controversial figure in a rough and rowdy territory. What she
witnessed, the lifestyle she led, and the influential western
people she met are fascinating and represent a time period much
romanticized.
