I'm a huge buff and collector on anything Tombstone and the Earp brothers and Doc. Living near Fort Griffin, I have great access to talk to historians and share information. These series just are fantastic and constantly give additional info to help really understand the landscape and build up and aftermath of the OK Corral and life in Tombstone.
Having traveled extensively in the west, I have been to nearly every place in all of the Western Adventure Stories, even living in some of them. It is very helpful when listening to the history, to be familiar with the geography in which they take place. The land itself is an oft overlooked character in many of the stories. The men may have made the country, but the land made the men what and who they were, in large part.
If you want to see some interesting reading from the newspapers of the time go to chronicling America and look up Arizona. Type in Doc Holliday you'll find all kinds of information

Much of what Bat Masterson is supposed to have said about Doc Holliday comes from Stuart Lake’s “Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshall”. This book has been proven to be essentially a work of fiction. I would not give much credibility to anything Bat Masterson or anyone else is supposed to have said.
These are some awesome videos, but you have Doc all wrong. He didn't kill the black kids in the water hole, that was something Bat Masterson, who hated Doc, came up with. The fact is that his entire life, Doc killed two, maybe three men. He killed a man who was shooting up Doc's saloon in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and he killed Tom McLaury and possibly Frank McLaury during the street fight in Tombstone in October, 1881. In Dodge City, Doc had a dental practice. Yeah, he drank and gambled a lot, but he was a working dentist through the 1870s. But he was not the cold-blooded killer he is often made out to be.
@@rickkinki4624 So have i & thats what leads me to believe Bat's account instead of Holidays. Holiday was a violent out of control drunk who most likely in a drunken stupor bragged about the killings to Masterson & whoeverelse was around. Why would u be surprised by this? A lot of popular famous legends were monsters from Custer, Jesse James, Tom Horn & so on & so on . I love these stories on legends because of the details because i never heard such detail in any other docudrama or book about these subjects before.
@@ericjohnson8326 My understanding is that Doc was working as a dentist as late as 1878. Bat strongly disliked (despised?) Doc Holiday, and he was well known for exaggerating his tales. Doc was not a strong man. If he'd been as blusterous as he's been described, he would have had his backside kicked many times. I just don't see him as being as mean and obnoxious as he's given credit for.

Stuart Lake’s book was pure fiction, period.
Much of what Bat Masterson is supposed to have said about Doc Holliday comes from Stuart Lake’s “Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshall”. This book has been proven to be essentially a work of fiction. I would not give much credibility to anything Bat Masterson or anyone else is supposed to have said.

Agreed! I suppose it’s good to put what Bat said, but make sure the why is known.
How do u know Bat Masterson was lying?
@@ericjohnson8326 I have read many volumes on Doc, Bat, Wyatt and the rest, and I'm quite well-informed on the subject.

There is no proof of Wyatt Earp in Ellsworth, KS.
The rest is suspect.
Wyatt Earp was a known habitual lier
