Von der hinteren Coverseite

Reassessing the life of one of the most infamous characters of the Old West He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew. --Wyatt Earp, speaking of Doc Holliday This new biography sets the record straight on the man best known for his participation in the shootout at the O.K. Corral--a man of refinement who went West after contracting tuberculosis and became a gunfighter, gambler, and saloonkeeper. Telling the story in Doc Holliday's own voice, D. J. Herda reveals many unexplored facets of this legendary figure's personality. They Call Me Doc provides a riveting, well-rounded picture of both the mythological character and the real man.
