The most historically correct Doc Holliday in movies

[Smoke]

Not to hijack the thread, but had Crockett, Travis, or Bowie survived and Texas won independence, you most certainly would have heard of them.

All of those men came to Texas looking for wealth & power (Bowie maybe not so much political) and would have challenged Houston for the presidency.

Let me rephrase that.

Had Crockett Never Gone to the Alamo I don't think we would have heard of him. He spent the majority of his life trying to pay off his father's debts and then his.

He was a failure as a Congressman. He failed to get a single piece of legislation passed during his entire time in office. He blew a shot at the Presidency by pissing off the voters in his own district. He abandoned his wife and kids.

I really think we wouldn't know who he was if he hadn't gone to the Alamo

I live down the street from Doc Holliday' s home/office in Fayetteville, GA. Museum now. Never even been in?

I lived below his grave sight, or maybe I should say his tombstone. Local lore says his and a bunch other's remains slid down the valley off the hillside where he was buried in a land slide during a wet spring in Glenwood Springs, in the 1910s sometime I think. They put the cemetery back near its original spot, and reburied what bodies they found, but probably not under the correct head stones.

IMHO the two worst Hollidays in movies were Victor Mature and Kirk Douglas. They both looked too healthy and robust for a man dying of Consumption as Tuberculosis was called back then.
