Doc Holliday sought refuge in Colorado. After being part of the "Earp Vendetta Ride", Holliday, along with Wyatt Earp and Warren Earp headed to Colorado for safety, as they were wanted for murder in Arizona. Holliday split up with the Earp's and in May 1882 was in Pueblo Colorado. Holliday had an eventful time in the weeks to follow: he was arrested by Perry Mallon, a con-man in search of reward money-Mallon pretended to be Deputy Sheriff but soon his lies unraveled. Bat Masterson then had to help Holliday by creating a fake charge of larceny so that the "Deadly Dentist" wouldn't be extradited to Arizona. After this excitement, when Holliday was once again a free man, a reporter from the Gunnison Daily News-Democrat was introduced to him on the street, an interview with John Henry "Doc" Holliday was published on June 18th in the paper. This is that interview, with an introduction to help fill in the gaps. Hear Doc speak in his own words.

Absolutely! Don't know why he didn't. His was the most memorable performances in any Western, Ever, Anywhere in the world. I believe that, wherever there's Internet access, Val is being watched on RU-vid as Doc Holliday. His Holliday is more famous, by far, than the actual outlaw.

No one has mentioned the fact that after Doc's death his father had his body exhumed and brought back/returned to his hometown...Griffin, Ga. and re-interned in the city cemetery. It was all done at night and no one knows the exact location due to no marker being placed according to the funeral home which handled the hometown burial but it's thought he's close to his fathers grave which is marked.

@johnreynolds6466 2 года назад

@@skyryerson77 Funny thing about Tombstone. I read an article about Tombstone. The article stated that Tombstone had many more people than it does today because there are two silver mines in Tombstone and those mines made Tombstone a bustling city center, but when the United States went onto the gold standard to back up American currency everyone left Tombstone and Tombstone became just a little town like it is currently. Then, I see these TV commercials with investors encouraging people to buy gold and silver coins. I hear investors saying, "I love silver." I would like to tell these investors, "If you love silver so much why don't you go to Tombstone and re-activate the two silver mines there. I am sure the people of Tombstone would appreciate it."

So just wanted to share a couple of things-first, sorry about the Legacy of the West intro being so low in volume. Second, I didn't have "Doc" Holliday do any coughing in the video, as the newspaper man who conducted the interview gave no description of coughing, or any mention of Doc's illness. Second, there is a time in the interview when Doc refers to Virgil Earp as Bill, that's how it is in the newspaper account. A few things might explain this, the most likely is that the newspaper man conducting the interview heard wrong or wrote down the wrong name. Thanks for watching!

@douglaspkeatingjr3232 3 года назад

Bravo well done

@StacieMMeier 3 года назад

He likely did cough some, although consumption (TB) tends to linger for years before it kills you. It also comes and goes, some days it is bad others it is good. He likely had one of those days during the interview, so it is possible he didn't cough at all or it came out like he was coughing to clear his throat. By the time of the interview, people did know what was causing consumption. To get an idea of how bad it does someone near death, watch the death of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2. It causes your body to be "eaten" away and the person suffers badly. It wasn't a pleasant death. Today millions still get it, although we have treatments for it. At the time of Holiday's death, he likely was only skin and bones, weak, weighed almost nothing, bleeding out of nose and mouth. He likely didn't even know where he was during that time. It wasn't for the faint of heart to see.

@johnwolfram2825 3 года назад

He knew how to handle himself, but im sure there alcohol could make him be a prick at times like anyone but as a rule he wasn't a threat unless pushed, and hey, he was just super fast and very good in a fight.

I'm not sure if Doc was the fastest but I could see where he probably didn't fear getting killed because he was slowly dying from TB. Maybe this gave him an advantage in a gunfight where the other person might hesitate. He also had a reputation (deserved or not) which also helped him.

@nookie077 3 года назад

There was no such thing as the "fastest", it's a Hollywood creation. Feared gunfighters were men that where cool in life or death situations, didn't fear consequences in the moment, and could remain calm under fire. But I doubt any of these legends actually used the term "fast" or "fastest" because that would indicate the need of a skill where two men faced off with holstered weapons on the pretext of some sort of "say when" signal, which I pointed out, was unlikely. Someone like Wyatt Erp would do everything possible to make sure he had the drop on an enemy before getting into a confrontation.... he'd have a shot gun pointed at the guy's chest already, lol, so need to be fast - just cool, smart, and prepared.

Should’ve used Val Kilmer to do the voice of Doc Holiday. That would’ve been cool. This guy did a good job, though. He didn’t ask him if he shot Johnny Ringo. I wonder if the two cowboys he mentioned that were later, “laid out,“ was Ringo and someone else. Unlike the movie, Holiday was in Colorado when Johnny Ringo got shot. I would have loved to have bought Doc a drink!

Both obituaries of Doc and Big Nose Kate don't mention anything about children, nor does any biography of Kate mention she had any kids, other than a previous husband and child that both died long before she met Doc.

You should do a video on the "Great Hanging of Gainesville, Texas in 1862." Theres not a lot of information on it other than a book and a couple of lectures by the author, as well as a couple RU-vid videos that could be more insightful. I'd love to hear your take on it. It made the front page of the London Times back in the 1860s so it was huge news. I think like 42 people were killed, all but 2 were hung (those 2 were shot while trying to escape).

@legacyofthewest 3 года назад

This was a clever idea for a video, to bring to life an interview with live voices, Bravo. A clear and easy explanation arises for the greater eloquence of even uneducated persons on the frontier or in the urban slums from say, 1850-1915: the most read books were first the King James translation of the Bible, and secondly and more importantly, the Collected Works of Shakespeare: these two texts dominated the "best seller lists" of the Victorian era, decade after decade, even the Sears Catalog which was for many West of the Mississippi River their only steady source of books or even common items. Worse, for today, the making of a sale is priority, the dominant cultural value in an overly mercantile culture, sick with commerce-madness such that the more stupid, the less philosophic and the less offensive,less controversial the better, so no one ever loses a sale, nor a market. Even Truth itself is whored to maximum appeal.

Unlike the movies, the real deal people didn't have plot armor to protect them. The "good guys" did not always act with the mountain goat surfootedness of confidence like the movie heroes, drawing on the hint of an insult or injury, sometimes they just went with the flow in hopes things would work themselves out preferring not to risk the chance of being shot or shooting someone else even if they did not like them. Nor were the bad guys always quick to kill for no reason. Killing always had in it the chance of the unexpected consequences.

This story of Doc Holiday's encounter with a con artist is remarkable. Why would anyone in their right mind attempt to con one of, if not THE most dangerous, gun slinger of his time? Once Doc was released from jail, I expected he would go after the con artist that got him arrested, but it turns out Doc was not as vengeful and vindictive as I thought he was. No, he was actually a good man. He just wanted to be left alone. Nevertheless, I am quite certain if Doc and the con artist ever crossed paths again it would not end well for the con artist. I now see Doc as a decent man quick with his gun but not necessarily quick with his wrath. I would want him as my friend. If I could travel back in time, I would bring with me a bag full of medicine (I am a healthcare professional with access to antibiotics) and I would give Doc the therapy he needed to cure him of his tuberculosis so he could have lived longer and continue building on his legend.

@jarvisyoung8350 3 года назад

Not sure, but I've read that much of Wyatt Earp's legend was based on the actual experiences of Bat Masterson and Doc Holliday. Earp claimed their heroics as his own. Who really knows ? But, it seems that the legend of Earp is a bit dubious and that of Masterson and Holliday are underplayed.

@legacyofthewest 3 года назад

Stuart Lake is responsible for a lot of the Wyatt Earp mythos, Wyatt of course made himself out better and more heroic than reality, but Lake really made a lot up (either that or the people he interviewed kept adding tall tales)-like for instance the whole Buntline Special story-Wyatt never claimed that he had a "Buntline Special". You're right that Doc and Bat are underplayed, especially nowadays
