Description: "John Henry "Doc" Holliday was Southern gentry by birth, a dentist by training, sharp shooter and lawman by design, and gambler by default, being by disposition and circumstance - he contracted tuberculosis soon after graduating from dental school - unable to practice dentistry formally. In this historical novel, Paul West breathes new, thrilling life into Doc and his cohorts, including "Big Nose" Kate Elder and the infamous brothers Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp.

He recounts in detail the events leading up to the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral - those thirty seconds of terror and confusion - and the weeks of bloody retribution that followed, which Doc survived only by the grace of his good luck and notoriously quick trigger finger."--BOOK JACKET.
