Download or read book Doc Holliday in Film and Literature written by Shirley Ayn Linder and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-30 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.
Download or read book And Die in the West written by Paula Mitchell Marks and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has excited the imaginations of Western enthusiasts ever since that chilly October afternoon in 1881 when Doc Holliday and the three fighting Earps strode along a Tombstone, Arizona, street to confront the Clanton and McLaury brothers. When they met, Billy Clanton and the two McLaurys were shot to death; the popular image of the Wild West was reinforced; and fuel was provided for countless arguments over the characters, motives, and actions of those involved. And Die in the West presents the first fully detailed, objective narrative of the celebrated gunfight, of the tensions leading up to it, and the bitter, bloody events that followed. Paula Mitchell Marks places the events surrounding the gunfight against a larger backdrop of a booming Tombstone and the fluid, frontier environment of greed, factions and violence. In the process, Marks strips away many of the myths associated with the famous gunfight and of the West in general.

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.

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.

Download or read book Tombstone written by Sean McLachlan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gunfight at the OK Corral on 26 October 1881 is one of the most enduring stories of the Old West. It led to a series of violent incidents that culminated in the Vendetta Ride, in which Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and several other gunslingers went after their rivals the Cowboys. Like most tales of the Wild West, the facts are buried under layers of myth, and the line between good guys and bad guys is blurry. Wyatt Earp, leader of the so-called “good guys”, was charged with stealing horses in the Indian Territory in 1870 and jumped bail. Becoming a buffalo hunter and gambler, he got into several scrapes and earned a reputation as a gunfighter. Several times he helped lawmen arrest outlaws, but usually his assistance came more because of a personal grudge against the criminal than any real respect for law and order. He even got fired from a police job in Wichita for beating up a political rival.

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."
