Brothers of the Gun: Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and a Reckoning in Tombstone

In 1878, Wyatt Earp, town marshall of Dodge City, was attempting to arrest some drunken, armed men who''d cornered him in a saloon. John Henry ''Doc'' Holliday, who''d been gambling nearby, stepped in with a revolver and quieted the drunks, allowing Earp to make his arrests. This was the start to the most legendary friendship and partnership of the American West. Through action-packed adventures, Gardner shows us how, over the years, Holliday became like a brother to Wyatt, riding from town to town, throughout the west. This thrilling narrative builds up to the moment when they''d hunt down the very men who murdered Wyatt''s brother, Morgan, a legendary search that enthusiasts of the Wild West are eager to learn more about. Gardner shows that there is far more to unearth about this famous friendship. Researched through firsthand observations at historic sites and countless contemporary letters and newspaper reports, this is the definitive book on Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and their fascinating bond.
