Doc Holliday Before Tombstone: New Evidence Tracks the Trail of the Deadly Dentist
New evidence of his life in Prescott reveals the gambler was on the move back and forth to New Mexico before joining the Earps in Cochise County.
Bob Boze Bell is known as America's Western Storyteller. He is an artist, author, writer and serves as executive editor of True West magazine. Bell is a popular, sought-after figure in television documentaries about the Old West, appearing as an expert in dozens of Wild West history shows. Bell won an Emmy Award as Executive Producer of the PBS special, Outrageous Arizona, a zany look at the state's centennial, that he also wrote and helped direct. As an author, Bell has brought to life Billy the Kid, Geronimo, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickok in his best-selling Illustrated Life and Times series. His books Classic Gunfights I, II and III are must-reads about the most important Old West gunfights. Bell’s Bad Men is now in its fourth printing, while his illustrated autobiography, The 66 Kid: Raised on the Mother Road, gives personal insight into the passions that have driven him on his lifelong quest to interpret the history of the American West for audiences around the world.

    Love your stories. Lived near Williamson Rd in Prescott. Watched a young couple get chased by wild pigs in downtown Prescott, hung out at the yogurt shop. loved the history time line on library sidewalk. Had a creepy feeling that I was being watched out of the corner of Bucky O Neill's statue's eye. Now we do a Costco run every now and then. I wonder what Doc and the Earp's would think about places like that?

    Historians there is a problem to look at . This was not a Civil War battle this was Indian fighting, different rules apply. My understanding is, and if I am wrong I would like historians to chime in, that when fighting indians if you take prisoners fighting stops and negotiations can begin . Was Custer trying to make a quick raid into the village to secure prisoners to negotiate a peace ? Custer knew he was but one prong of a three prong campaign . He arrived first as he was cavalry and the fastest prong. He did not know about Rosebud, the infantry prong engagement and delay . The third prong arrived later to discover the Custer battlefield and Custers remnants of the 7th Cavalry . So the question is did Custer know what he was attempting to do but it was defeated by a better armed and large number of warriors ...

    i prefer boarding rooms over renting a hotel room. the Boarding Houses usually come with a nice old lady that can cook and takes pride in her cooking. hotels being owned usually by men, with men telling the cooks what to do, not knowing in the WEST, the Cook knows Best. trail cooks are like small g gods, if they can make good biscuits.

    It doesn't sound like Wyatt was fond of Big Nose. After she pulled that stunt regarding the Benson Stage hold up and Docs trial he kicks her out and Wyatt is glad of it. There's a lot of evidence that indicates he was not involved. Where exactly is the Wells , north of Tombstone? This is a water source Tombstone was using. Doc came back with his horse tied to the Water Wagon. Then tied it to a hitching rail. The story of the tuckered out sweaty horse was a lie. Or happened later.

    This is the real problem with America. The problem is there arent enough Billy the Kids, because Billy was more of a man at his young age than these so-called grown men in todays western society. The very reason as to why this world is the way it is is because there are entirely WAY too many obedient bootlicking cowards.

    Yay, Bob’s back! I enjoyed this one. Love The Palace, you could do an episode on that place alone. It’s not just the most beautiful saloon in all of Arizona, it also has GREAT food! The original bar was saved during the Whiskey Row fires because patrons took it across the street and continued to drink while everything burned. Doc was a regular, he allegedly killed someone there during a knife fight. Be cool to know more about that story.

    • @bradcourtney6615
      @bradcourtney6615 22 години тому

      Hi Desolate. That story about Doc killing someone in the Palace is false history. Someone put that on Wikipedia believing that the scene in Tombstone was real history. The scene itself is actually historical fiction based on historical fiction. According to Kate, it never happened anywhere; like she said, it makes for great reading, and I wish it was true because I would be all over it writing about it. BTW, the Wikipedia page on the Palace is almost all incorrect, full of false history. Hopefully it will be taken down someday as it has misled many many people. There are no buildings standing in Prescott today that were around when Doc was here. The only Earp that could have been in the Palace is Virgil, as he returned in the 1890s and stayed around until 1903.
