An Interview With Doc Holliday (Gunnison, Colorado)

Val Kilmer should have got an Academy Award for that performance

I totally agree! Super underrated movie and the project was doomed until Kurt stepped up in the production

[@cwavt8849]

Absolutely! Don't know why he didn't. His was the most memorable performances in any Western, Ever, Anywhere in the world. I believe that, wherever there's Internet access, Val is being watched on KZbin as Doc Holliday. His Holliday is more famous, by far, than the actual outlaw.

Tombstone is a great place to visit if you want to hear stories about Doc Holiday. They tell many stories through plays they do every like 2-3 hours. The one at high noon that I went to was the famous fight from tbe tombstone movie and you can even visit the graveyard afterward to see the actually burial sight of the victims

[@johnreynolds6466]

@@skyryerson77 Funny thing about Tombstone. I read an article about Tombstone. The article stated that Tombstone had many more people than it does today because there are two silver mines in Tombstone and those mines made Tombstone a bustling city center, but when the United States went onto the gold standard to back up American currency everyone left Tombstone and Tombstone became just a little town like it is currently. Then, I see these TV commercials with investors encouraging people to buy gold and silver coins. I hear investors saying, "I love silver." I would like to tell these investors, "If you love silver so much why don't you go to Tombstone and re-activate the two silver mines there. I am sure the people of Tombstone would appreciate it."

[@legacyofthewest]

So just wanted to share a couple of things-first, sorry about the Legacy of the West intro being so low in volume. Second, I didn't have "Doc" Holliday do any coughing in the video, as the newspaper man who conducted the interview gave no description of coughing, or any mention of Doc's illness. Second, there is a time in the interview when Doc refers to Virgil Earp as Bill, that's how it is in the newspaper account. A few things might explain this, the most likely is that the newspaper man conducting the interview heard wrong or wrote down the wrong name. Thanks for watching!

[@douglaspkeatingjr3232]

Bravo well done

[@StacieMMeier]

He likely did cough some, although consumption (TB) tends to linger for years before it kills you. It also comes and goes, some days it is bad others it is good. He likely had one of those days during the interview, so it is possible he didn't cough at all or it came out like he was coughing to clear his throat. By the time of the interview, people did know what was causing consumption. To get an idea of how bad it does someone near death, watch the death of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2. It causes your body to be "eaten" away and the person suffers badly. It wasn't a pleasant death. Today millions still get it, although we have treatments for it. At the time of Holiday's death, he likely was only skin and bones, weak, weighed almost nothing, bleeding out of nose and mouth. He likely didn't even know where he was during that time. It wasn't for the faint of heart to see.

[@johnwolfram2825]

In Glenn Boyer's book "Wyatt Earp's Tombstone Vendetta", it is mentioned that Doc did not cough while in Dodge City and Tombstone. It was when he went to Colorado that he started coughing and losing weight.

[@jerryoshea3116]

When I first moved to the US jnn1999,I managed to find a book on Wyatt Earp ,in a small book store in Cali..And even though it was mostly focused on Wyatt Earp's life,of course it mentions "Doc Holiday..And he certainly was a interesting character!

No one has mentioned the fact that after Doc's death his father had his body exhumed and brought back/returned to his hometown...Griffin, Ga. and re-interned in the city cemetery. It was all done at night and no one knows the exact location due to no marker being placed according to the funeral home which handled the hometown burial but it's thought he's close to his fathers grave which is marked. How do I know this ??, he was my Grandfathers 1st. cousin.

Ya and in fact he really wasn't. At least non of my research ever uncovered such personality. He was extremely educated, but very "street wise" which during this time was rather unusual. That's the sort of man that he was, very confident, and very to himself. He knew how to handle himself, but im sure there alcohol could make him be a prick at times like anyone but as a rule he wasn't a threat unless pushed, and hey, he was just super fast and very good in a fight.

I'm not sure if Doc was the fastest but I could see where he probably didn't fear getting killed because he was slowly dying from TB. Maybe this gave him an advantage in a gunfight where the other person might hesitate. He also had a reputation (deserved or not) which also helped him.

[@nookie077]

There was no such thing as the "fastest", it's a Hollywood creation. Feared gunfighters were men that where cool in life or death situations, didn't fear consequences in the moment, and could remain calm under fire. But I doubt any of these legends actually used the term "fast" or "fastest" because that would indicate the need of a skill where two men faced off with holstered weapons on the pretext of some sort of "say when" signal, which I pointed out, was unlikely. Someone like Wyatt Erp would do everything possible to make sure he had the drop on an enemy before getting into a confrontation.... he'd have a shot gun pointed at the guy's chest already, lol, so need to be fast - just cool, smart, and prepared.

Gunsmoke did some of that, just borrowed from history...both in story lines and characters. I remember Wild Bill Hickok being an old friend of Matt's and one story where a guy was hit on the head and his personality changed (a thing that happened to a railroad worker in real life).

Another well done video with information little known to most history buffs. I love how Legacy of the West doesn't just regurgitate well known stories of his subjects. There is always something new and interesting in these videos. This is a great re-telling of a complicated story. There is a book, "Doc Holliday; The Life and Legend" by Gary L. Roberts that I highly recommend for hard core Doc fans. It tells where Mallon went from there. He continued his life as a con-man until he eventually got his comeuppance. He pulled the "man-hunt" scheme again and fleeced a backer that fell for his promise of part of the reward. He also married a land owning woman and beat her to turn over the titles to him. He ended up in jail where history lost track of him. Hard to believe that some Denver Newspapers fell for his bizarre stories hook line and sinker. Thanks Legacy of the West. Looking forward to the next.

I guess the news was fake back then too

[@JimD410]

This was great! Makes me think what he may of really sounded like.

[@legacyofthewest]

Thanks! Yeah, if only audio recorders were invented sooner

[@garyfain7235]

Just want to thank you for bringing the west alive with your insightful portrayals of the old west. I’m a new subscriber and look forward to many more of your stories of the true old west

[@legacyofthewest]

Thank you!

[@sonny2593]

What a badass. Got shot in the hip, "slightly inconvenienced me for a few days" 😂

[@JHH1111]

Wow! I've followed Doc Holliday for years, and never knew he gave an interview. Just fyi, I went to Griffin, Ga., his birthplace, and there are markers scattered around town about him.

[@Patriot-oi7mj]

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

[@dutchman7216]

That was interesting. Thankyou for sharing.

[@robertmorgan8104]

I never heard of this interview. Glad I came across it.

[@legacyofthewest]

Doc was interviewed twice in 1882, I have another video on my channel that's the other interview

[@ryan421sbc]

Thank you.i really enjoyed this

I was born and raised in Pueblo Colorado, I Never knew this information!! WILD!!! I grew as a huge fan of the movie Tombstone!!

[@mo8748]

Very well done, it certainly held my attention!

[@legacyofthewest]

Thank you!

[@ViperSRTnACR]

Really cool piece of history. I live in Tucson not far from Tombstone and they still do gun fight reenactments there which are really fun to watch. Tombstone is certainly a time capsule if you get the chance to visit.

[@legacyofthewest]

Definitely want to go there!

This was an amazing video. Thank you

[@LIONTAMER3D]

He was a "gentleman"?

[@TheGuitarReb]

@@LIONTAMER3D He was just one example of the many people that were dispersed as War refugees following that horrible useless war. Remember, he was a best friend of that damn Yankee Wyatt Earp so yes he had to have been a GENTLEMAN!

@Greg Nuckinfutz Southern "Dudes" Only worship Jesus Christ! Trump was an upstate New York Yankee that shared only some of our cultural views. Not all!

[@unclejimbo1301]

@Greg Nuckinfutz The real insurrection was the BLM and antifa terrorists looting and burning cities all summer and the democrats riding it off as a conspiracy theory! Not to mention the double standard for the woman murdered at the capital by police

[@unclejimbo1301]

@Greg Nuckinfutz George Floyd died from the lethal amount of fentanyl and meth in his system he flipped out and his heart couldn't handle it he was saying "I cant breath" before a knee was even on his neck keep living ur Marxist lies democrates are the ones who try to divide us by race

[@susanfarley1332]

one day when I was in high school they allowed us out to see Doc Holliday's house being transported down the street in front of our school. The land it had been on had been bought but the new owners did not want the house. Somebody bought it and moved it.

[@Ticonderous1]

This was so good ..... really thank you ..very interesting ....

[@justmeeagainn]

Has anyone else ever wondered what a dental visit with him would have been like?

[@TheGuitarReb]

Doc went to some prestigious up Nawth schools. He may have been a pretty good dentist but I would suggest to check your weapons with his nurse and share a few shots of whiskey so both of you don't smell alcohol on the breath.. TB I don't know about? Might be contagious.

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

You would get TB.

[@wizardofahhhs759]

No, just you.

[@Russellsagecline]

He once put a crown on a very young girl's tooth, while in dental school, that lasted for almost 70 years.....when she died of old age!

[@dorothylewis1207]

PAIN, pure pain, they didn't have all the modern equipment of today.

Thank you for sharing this, it was gripping story telling at its finest. Top notch job!

Thanks!

Crazy that we think about these people as living legends people that were 15 ft tall and he was exactly my age when he gave this interview

Did you have the Time Life Books Gunfighterrs of the Old West with hand tooled leather style binding when you were a kid too? Lol I do...so I'm right there with you. I've always been fascinated with that era of our history and to hear it in the words of those legends is gold for me.

[@legacyofthewest]

Yup, I had the book on the gunfighters-you remember that photo of the two dead soldiers in Hays? I'll eventually be doing a video about that gunfight.

[@3PercentNeanderthal]

@@legacyofthewest yes I do...and I also remember the picture of Clay Allison with his leg in a cast. I'm a subscriber now with the notifications on so I'll be waiting on that video. I really enjoyed the Doc Holiday vid I had no idea he was interviewed shortly after the OK Corral incident. 👍👍two thumbs up

[@MinisterJokes]

Love how this all took place in my home state! Colorado...

[@petergrandahl2386]

"Instead of putting up their paws they put up their revolvers and began firing." That turned out to be a mistake.

[@knightingalesaid]

I live in Georgia. They have or had a Doc Holliday museum that was real impressive. The owner of it was related to the Holliday family.

[@legacyofthewest]

Another museum I need to go to!

[@eddieraines2844]

Before WWII there were a lot of people who never finished grade school especially in the south. I say the south because I'm not sure of the rest of the nation. Many people dropped out of school to help with the farms.. They were expected to work and do their fair share but they had good character and were smart in alot of ways.

[@MrTimothyhalliday]

My Surname is Halliday my Dads nick name was Doc always wondered if there is a family connection? Fascinating channel thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I would have liked to have know him. An ancestor of mine was a friend of his when Doc was in Texas. My ancestor was a "shootist" and evidently was deadly with two six shooters.

[@TM-fy5ym]

Once you get to Pueblo from I 25 going south, you are in the Southwest!

[@abefroman7393]

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@alan30189]

Should’ve used Val Kilmer to do the voice of Doc Holiday. That would’ve been cool. This guy did a good job, though. He didn’t ask him if he shot Johnny Ringo. I wonder if the two cowboys he mentioned that were later, “laid out,“ was Ringo and someone else. Unlike the movie, Holiday was in Colorado when Johnny Ringo got shot. I would have loved to have bought Doc a drink!

[@tiffanyi5645]

I can only ever imagine Doc Holliday as how Val Kilmer portrayed him

[@darrenthompson1058]

I've heard that the Windsor Hotel in Denver was knocked down sometime in the 1960's and now it's a parking lot.

[@JohnL-pi2qn]

In watching this video, it brought back stories my Grandmother told me about my Grandfathers relationship with Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. My Father also told about a visit they had one afternoon from an old friend before my Grandfather passed in 1933 in L.A. My Father said they were visited by Wyatt Earp and they talked about old times. My Father said that he did not remember much about the visit or who Mr. Earp was at that time, only that he was tall. My cousin M.W. was in contact with the Holiday family and confirmed some of the stories each family had about the relationship. Wow! for a word, after all these years I see something from a total stranger about my Grandfather who was Charlie White.
