Summary: Doc Holliday - A Family Portrait
Review: Very easying reading. In my opinion the best as well as very non-bias view of the life and events surronding John Henry "Doc" Holliday. The author spends a great deal explaining the life and family of J.H. Holliday before the Tombstone incident. In my opinion also gives a non-bias view of the O.K. Corral shoot-out. The only thing i could NOT find in this book that i feel should have been in this reading was how exactly how J.H. Holliday got his nickname "Doc". I have read other accounts as to how he got his famous nickname but i was extremely interested in reading how he got his nickname from THIS author. Overall i would recommend this book first and foremost to anyone interested in Doc Holliday.

Summary: Truly Meet the Man behind the Legend
Review: Very well documented with many little-known facts brought to light. The footnotes are of great help. Ms. Tanner certainly took her job seriously and produced a most well-written and well-researched book.
