Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A sort of fictional autobiography. The story is told in Doc Holliday’s “voice;” it’s clear the narrator is in some sort of afterlife – which doesn’t seem that unpleasant. The story agrees with what else I’ve read about Holiday’s life – although there are no references or bibliography. The spirit/ghost/whatever of Holliday does resolve a mystery - what happened to Johnny Ringo? (Although it doesn’t explain why he wasn’t wearing his boots.) The first-person style is gimmicky, but works. A quick read, although it doesn’t add much to OK Corral or Wyatt Earp lore. ( ) no reviews | add a review
John Henry 'Doc' Holliday was a man of education and refinement who went west after contracting tuberculosis both hoping to find a cure in the prairie air and perhaps escaping his stolid homelife for the more adventurous frontier. No library descriptions found. |
