W 002 Doc Holliday toy soldier

He was born on August 14, 1851. He was a famous gunman, gambler and dentist of the old west. He is famous for his friendship with Wyat Earp and his involvement in the OK Corral duel.

As a teenager he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which meant that after graduating as a dental surgeon and settled in Atlanta, he decided to go to the center of the United States, looking for a drier climate, in the hope that it would prolong his life.

The shooting of the OK Corral did not really occur on the OK Corral, but on unused terrain belonging to C.S. Fly.

The duel did not solve the differences between the two sides, and Doc Hollyday was involved in a series of shootings and murders.

He managed to escape from justice and died in bed because of his illness at the age of 36 years.
