While one could argue that some of the finer points of the personal history (or should we say 'mystery') surrounding the life of Doc Holliday didn't get enough attention in this tome, THE ILLUSTRATED LIFE & TIMES OF DOC HOLLIDAY is a feast for Holliday enthusiasts as well as general fans of the Old West.

The book is filled with what must be hundreds of portraits, artists' renderings, maps, etc., that only enhance the value of the book. A quick and entertaining read, this version of Doc's life is a wonderful overview and is highly recommended for anyone wanting to 'jump off' into studying the fascinating man who may or may not have been Doc Holliday.

Code:IWE4thed Price: $28.95 Quantity in Basket: none Author: Bob Boze Bell Published by: TriStar-Boze Cover Type: Paperback Page Count: 144 pages Reader Comments: The mystique surrounding Wyatt Earp,Doc Holiday, John Ringo, and the other "heros" of the town of Tombstone, Az.is as captivating now as ever before. The previous books about Wyatt ("Wyatt Earp,Frontier Marshall", "Tombstone", "I Married Wyatt Earp" etc.) were usually based on conjecture and subjectivity. The truth is that even though Wyatt Earp is an American idol of epic porportions, known to almost everybody, only small amounts of his life are varified by historical fact. This includes "The Gunfight At The OK Corral". With this book Mr. Bell not only gives you a sense of the times with many extraordinary photos and paintings but also tells us what is known for sure and what may or may not be the truth. He also discusses the movies (and there are a lot) about not only the gunfight and the people involved but also those on which Wyatt may have been a consultant. I have never read anything that left me with such a through understanding of the gunfight and the aftermath.Also, I have not until now ever really understood why Wyatt was famous in the first place. This is a great book to read first before you watch any of the movies or read any the other books. This along with "The Illustrated Life and Times of Doc Holliday" also by Bob Boze Bell form a solid and totally entertaining foundation from which to evaluate, understand, and enjoy the many, many versions available of the "Earp Legend".   T-Shirt "The Doctor will see you Now" Code:T-DH Price: $22.00 Quantity in Basket: none T-Shirt "The Doctor will see you Now" High quality T-shirt in natural color.

These men, and others like them, epitomize the image of the Wild West. The gunfighting era was born in the late 1830s when Samuel Colt patented his single-barreled pistol with a revolving bullet chamber. But the gunfighter was not common on the frontier until after the Civil War when renegade bands of Confederate soldiers refused to surrender. Their lawless ways spread as they stole from the hated Union bankers and the monopolistic railroads, rustled from wealthy ranchers and killed anyone who dared stand in their way. Railhead towns, where the great Texas cattle drives ended, generated more than their fair share of gunfights. In these towns the distinction between the law and the outlaw was a fine line and many times the men who wore badges worked both sides of the fence. It generally fell to the individual to uphold the law and nearly every western man strapped a six-shooter to his hip. If a man's cattle or horses were stolen, if his home was ransacked or his family attacked, it was up to that man to track down the guilty party and administer swift justice. Around the turn of the 20th century the free-roaming gunfighters found the wild country could no longer hide them as technology, in the form of telegraphs and telephones, cut off escape routes. Even though the era of the gunfighter had drawn to a close, writers and movie makers, using the colorful backdrop of the Old West, turned the frontier gunfighters into larger-than-life folk heros, folk heros who will never die.   Tombstone Bordello/Saloon Towel Code:CA30-600 Price: $12.99 Quantity in Basket: none TOMBSTONE BORDELLO & SALOON TOWEL.
