Why read it?
1 author picked Doc Holliday as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I know Gary Roberts personally, and I have always considered him to be “the voice of reason” in debates concerning Western American history.

From Mark's list on Wyatt Earp by the top researchers in the field.
