Summary: Authentic
Comment: I kind of went over the edge on this stuff after watching the movie "Tombstone" about 50 times. I've read almost everything I can find regarding the gunfight, and it's participants and this is by far the most comprensive book available.

Summary: Too Much Hypothesizing, Too Little Truth
Comment: I understand that at the time this book came out, it was the politically "in" thing to try and burst old, american myths. It is also true that a historian cannot stick to facts alone, but by nature, must recreate the truth that those same facts indicate. But there is a fine line between recreating what the facts indicate, and deriving from them extensive rationalizations which, no matter how logical (rationalizations must be that by nature, right?), no longer derive support from those facts because the hypothesizing leave them so far behind. Much of her conclusions are based on accepting other conclusions she has previously made groundlessly. In light of much evidence which has surfaced since this book was written, I cannot recommend it at all. Curious how so many readers cannot differentiate conclusions from assumptions.
Rating: 5
Summary: Best account I've ever read
Comment: I won't bore you with my opinion or attempt to brag about how many books I've read on the Earps/Doc Holliday.... simply stated, this book is the best I've read to date. It seems to neither be for or against them -- it just tells the tale (in greatly researched detail, I might add). A wonderful book.
