Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Tombstone is written in a distinctly American voice." —T.J. Stiles, The New York Times “With a former newsman’s nose for the truth, Clavin has sifted the facts, myths, and lies to produce what might be as accurate an account as we will ever get of the old West’s most famous feud.” —Associated Press The true story of the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the famous Battle at the OK Corral, by the New York Times bestselling author of Dodge City and Wild Bill. On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, eight men clashed in what would be known as the most famous shootout in American frontier history. Thirty bullets were exchanged in thirty seconds, killing three men and wounding three others. The fight sprang forth from a tense, hot summer. Cattle rustlers had been terrorizing the back country of Mexico and selling the livestock they stole to corrupt ranchers. The Mexican government built forts along the border to try to thwart American outlaws, while Arizona citizens became increasingly agitated. Rustlers, who became known as the cow-boys, began to kill each other as well as innocent citizens. That October, tensions boiled over with Ike and Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury, and Billy Claiborne confronting the Tombstone marshal, Virgil Earp, and the suddenly deputized Wyatt and Morgan Earp and shotgun-toting Doc Holliday. Bestselling author Tom Clavin peers behind decades of legend surrounding the story of Tombstone to reveal the true story of the drama and violence that made it famous. Tombstone also digs deep into the vendetta ride that followed the tragic gunfight, when Wyatt and Warren Earp and Holliday went vigilante to track down the likes of Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill Brocius, and other cowboys who had cowardly gunned down his brothers. That "vendetta ride" would make the myth of Wyatt Earp complete and punctuate the struggle for power in the American frontier's last boom town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Belle Starr, Wyatt Earp, the Younger Gang, the Dalton-Doolin Gang and Bat Masterson--these real-life lawmen and lawbreakers have been the basis of so many Hollywood Westerns that it has become difficult to discover where the truth ends and the legend begins. All actually became larger-than-life characters during their lifetimes, as contemporary newspapers and books embellished their deeds for their own purposes. But it was in Hollywood that the line between reality and myth was completely blurred. Each chapter-length entry here first focuses on the known facts of the people's lives and how each became truly legendary during their lifetimes. The reality is then compared to how they have been portrayed in the movies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady at the O.K. Corral: The True Story of Josephine Marcus Earp by Ann Kirschner is the definitive biography of a Jewish girl from New York who won the heart of Wyatt Earp. For nearly fifty years, she was the common-law wife of Wyatt Earp: hero of the O.K. Corral and the most famous lawman of the Old West. Yet Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp has nearly been erased from Western lore. In this fascinating biography, Ann Kirschner, author of the acclaimed Sala's Gift, brings Josephine out of the shadows of history to tell her tale: a spirited and colorful tale of ambition, adventure, self-invention, and devotion. Reflective of America itself, her story brings us from the post–Civil War years to World War II, and from New York to the Arizona Territory to old Hollywood. In Lady at the O.K. Corral, you’ll learn how this aspiring actress and dancer—a flamboyant, curvaceous Jewish girl with a persistent New York accent—landed in Tombstone, Arizona, and sustained a lifelong partnership with Wyatt Earp, a man of uncommon charisma and complex heroism.

Download or read book Doc Holliday in Film and Literature written by Shirley Ayn Linder and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of Doc Holliday is now well past a century old. While his time on earth was brief, troubled and filled with pain, his legend took wings and flew. Beginning with his part in the now famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Denver newspapers first told his story in the late 19th century. They, followed by words of Wyatt Earp, grasped the glimmer of his tale. So enamored was the public that by 1939 he was a literary icon and his character had appeared in eight films. Historians, authors, screenwriters and eventually television refined the legend, which reached its apex perhaps with the 1993 film Tombstone. Doc Holliday's image has neither dimmed nor wavered in the 21st century. Broadway, country music and art join with literature and film to continue his mystique as the personification of a surviving legend of the U.S. West.

Book excerpt: The story of how a young Wyatt Earp and his brothers defeated the Old West’s biggest outlaw gang, by the New York Times–bestselling author of Texas Ranger. Wyatt Earp is regarded as the most famous lawman of the Old West, best known for his role in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. But the story of his two-year war with a band of outlaws known as the Cowboys has never been told in full. The Cowboys were the largest outlaw gang in the history of the American West. After battles with the law in Texas and New Mexico, they shifted their operations to Arizona. There, led by Curly Bill Brocius, they ruled the border, robbing, rustling, smuggling and killing with impunity until they made the fatal mistake of tangling with the Earp brothers. Drawing on groundbreaking research into territorial and federal government records, John Boessenecker’s Ride the Devil’s Herd reveals a time and place in which homicide rates were fifty times higher than those today. The story still bears surprising relevance for contemporary America, involving hot-button issues such as gang violence, border security, unlawful immigration, the dangers of political propagandists parading as journalists, and the prosecution of police officers for carrying out their official duties. Wyatt Earp saw it all in Tombstone. Praise for Ride the Devil’s Herd A Pim County Public Library Southwest Books of the Year 2021 A True West Reader’s Choice for Best 2020 Western Nonfiction Winner of the Best Book Award by the Wild West History Association “A marvelous book. By means of meticulous research and splendid writing John Boessenecker has managed to do something never before attempted or accomplished, tying together the many violent clashes between lawmen and outlaws in the American southwest of the 1870-1890 period and showing how depredations by loosely organized gangs of outlaws actually threatened “Manifest Destiny” and the successful taming of the Wild West.” —Robert K. DeArment, author and historian “A ripsnortin’ ramble across the bloodstained Arizona desert with Wyatt Earp and company. . . . Boessenecker displays a fine eye for period detail. . . . A pleasure for thoughtful fans of Old West history, revisionist without being iconoclastic.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah and Mark planned a trip to visit the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and watch the reenactment of the gunfight between the lawmen and the outlaw cowboys. Little did they know that this trip would be one that they would remember for the rest of their lives. The moment they arrived at Tombstone and got out of the car and stepped foot on the abandoned streets they felt as though they weren’t alone. Immediately, ghostly figures were in hot pursuit and if that wasn’t enough to make them run back to their car and head back home they noticed something even more unsettling. The town itself seemed to be changing around them, the buildings flickering between their modern-day facades and their 19th-century appearances. It was as if the very fabric of time was unraveling, pulled apart by the spectral violence that had erupted in their midst. "Mark, look!" Sarah gasped, pointing at the Crystal Palace Saloon. For a moment, it stood in its original glory, gas lamps flickering in the windows, the sounds of a player piano and raucous laughter spilling out into the night. Then it shifted back to its restored state, a silent monument to a bygone era. "It's like the whole town is being pulled back in time," Mark whispered, his voice filled with awe and fear. "We're not just fighting ghosts; we're fighting history itself." They ducked into an alleyway to catch their breath, the moonlight casting long, twisted shadows that seemed to reach out for them like grasping fingers. Sarah leaned against the wall, her heart pounding, when she felt something wet and warm on her hand. She looked down and let out a choked scream. The wall was bleeding. "Oh God, oh God," she whimpered, pulling her hand away. The bricks were oozing a dark, viscous liquid that smelled of iron and gunpowder. "Mark, this place... it's soaked in blood. It's in the very stones." Mark took her hand, his face grim. "The violence, the hatred—it's seeped into everything. That's why the ghosts can't rest. They're part of Tombstone itself." A cold laugh echoed through the alley, making them both freeze. From the shadows emerged the spectral figure of Doc Holliday, his face a mask of sardonic amusement. "Well, ain't you two just the smartest little historians," he drawled, his ghostly voice carrying the hint of a Southern accent. "You're right, of course. This town, this forsaken patch of desert—it's a character in our little drama, just as much as any of us." Sarah found her voice, though it trembled. "You were a doctor once, weren't you? You took an oath to preserve life. How can you be part of this... this endless slaughter?" Holliday's smile turned bitter. "Preserve life? My dear, life preserved me, trapped me in a body racked with consumption, in a world that only valued a man by how fast he could draw. I came west to die with my boots on, and by God, I did." His figure flickered, and for a moment, they saw him as he must have been in life—pale, wracked with coughs, yet his eyes burning with a fierce vitality. "But you did more than die," Mark said. "You killed. You, the Earps, the Cowboys—you turned this place into a symbol of violence." "Violence?" Holliday spat. "Boy, you don't know the half of it. The O.K. Corral was just the spark. After that, it was a war. Morgan Earp, shot in the back. Virgil, his arm shattered. Wyatt, riding out with a vendetta posse, leaving a trail of corpses from here to the Mexican border."

Book excerpt: Welcome to a Steampunk wild west starring Doc Holliday, with zombies, dinosaurs, robots, and cowboys. The time is April, 1885. Doc Holliday lies in bed in a sanitarium in Leadville, Colorado, expecting never to leave his room again. But the medicine man and great chief Geronimo needs him for one last adventure. Renegade Comanche medicine men object to the newly-signed treaty with Theodore Roosevelt. They are venting their displeasure on two white men who are desecrating tribal territory in Wyoming. Geronimo must protect the men or renege on his agreement with Roosevelt. He offers Doc one year of restored health in exchange for taking on this mission. Welcome to the birth of American paleontology, spearheaded by two brilliant men, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, two men whose genius is only exceeded by their hatred for each other's guts. Now, with the aid of Theodore Roosevelt, Cole Younger, and Buffalo Bill Cody, Doc Holliday must save Cope and Marsh not only from the Comanches, not only from living, breathing dinosaurs, but from each other. And that won't be easy.
