Long before John Henry Holliday became know throughout the United States as "Doc" – and also "the slickest gunslinger in the west" – he was a darn good...dentist. Clasically educated in Humanities and Mathematics, by 20, he graduated woth a Doctor of Dental Surgery (hence the nickname) from one of the top schools in the nation.
Today, we know him as the symbol of loyalty in the Wild West and the hero of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Despite all the perils of the Frontier, he remained an even-tempered, well-mannered Southern gentlemen until his untimely end at 36 years of age.
We salute Doc Holliday as the epitome of a true friend and a loyal companion.
