Doc Holliday

Doc Holliday was a famous American gambler, gunfighter, and dentist in the late 1800s, known for his association with the Wild West and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Born in 1851, he was well-educated and originally trained as a dentist, but his life took a turn due to tuberculosis and a reputation for quick drawing and sharpshooting. Holliday became a close friend of figure Wyatt Earp and is often remembered as a complex character—Skilled, intelligent, yet embroiled in the tumult of frontier justice and western legend.
