The world of Doc Holliday : history and historic images

Explore the Wild West through the eyes of John Henry Holliday. His name conjures images of the Wild West, of gunfights and gambling halls and a legendary friendship with the lawman Wyatt Earp, and he is probably most famous for his time in Tombstone. But Doc Holliday's story is a much richer than that one sentence summary allows. His was a life of travel across the west--from Georgia to Texas, from Dodge City to Las Vegas, across Arizona and from New Mexico to Colorado and Montana. Revealed from contemporary newspaper accounts and records of interviews with Doc himself and the people who knew him and packed with archival photos and illustrations, The World of Doc Holliday offers a real first-hand accounting of his life of adventure Preface A World of Rails 1 Macon & Western 2 Atlantic & Gulf Line 3 Philadelphia & Savannah Line 4 Eads’ Folly 5 Terminus 6 Houston & Texas Central 7 The Katy 8 Denver & Kansas Pacific 9 Texas & Pacific 10 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 11 Railroad Wars 12 End of Track 13 Southern Pacific 14 Benson Freight 15 Contention City 16 Tucson Train Yard 17 Summit Station 18 Union Depot 19 Denver & Rio Grande 20 High Line Railroad 21 Denver & New Orleans 22 Northern Pacific 23 Durango & Silverton 24 Glenwood Springs Station 25 Return Ticket Acknowledgments Endnotes Index About the Author
