They Call Me Doc (Paperback)

Once west, he would become a gunfighter, a gambler, and a saloon keeper--and he would find his way into the legend of the West through his associations with the Earps, Bat Masterson, Big Nose Kate, and other colorful characters who helped shape the frontier. Perhaps best known for his participation in the shoot out at the OK Corral and his many portrayals in film, this new biography reveals the many facets of his personality and proposes to set the record straight--or at least to tell the story that Doc Holliday would have preferred be told about himself. Key selling points: * The ongoing popularity of westerns on TV and in the movies and of the characters associated with the mythology of the Old West offers room for this new telling of the story of Doc Holliday * Author is a talented storyteller * Author will interview descendants of Doc and his victims, providing a well-rounded picture of the mythological character and the real man behind it
