The Truth Behind Legendary Old West Gambling Gunslinger Doc Holliday

Shootout at Long Branch

While Holliday was gambling in the back room of Long Branch Saloon, cowboys that Earp had once driven out of Wichita began terrorizing and shooting up the town. They entered the saloon and began to vandalize the room and harass the customers…

Rescuing His Friend

Alerted to the commotion, Earp ran into the room, but the cowboys drew their guns and pointed them at his chest. Holliday walked out from the back room. He drew his own gun and put it against the lead cowboy’s head, forcing his crew to disarm themselves.
