This scene is a clinical stretch, especially given his recent collapse and confinement at the ranch of Henry Hooker (Charlton Heston), just a day or so before the showdown. The real-life Doc died a quiet death from the complications of TB and alcoholism in a hotel in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on November 8, 1887. I love this movie!
Dying in bed at the age of 36, Doc Holliday is said to have taken a final drink of whiskey and looked down at his feet and said “This is funny.” After fifteen years of moving from cow towns to mining towns gaining a mostly unfounded reputation as a gunfighter and desperado, Doc Holliday died. Perhaps he found it strange to meet a peaceful end rather than die in a gunfight. He certainly had seen a fair share of action over the years and had been shot and beaten on several occasions. One fight in Texas left Holliday in such a bad state that the local newspaper reported that he’d died afterwards – this of course was not true.When did he die?
Doc Holliday died on November 8, 1887 around ten o’clock in the morningWhere?
The Hotel Glenwood in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.Doc Holliday Poker SceneWas Wyatt there like in the film Tombstone?
No. Wyatt heard of Doc’s death shortly after he had died. He was close by in Aspen at the time and it’s thought that he may have visited Doc before his death, although no accounts exist to verify this. Josie Earp told a story about sitting beside Doc’s deathbed but it’s thought that she may have confused this with another occasion. Josie Earp did also give an account of Doc and Wyatt’s last meeting in the lobby of a Denver hotel. Both men were quite upset and Josie said that Wyatt cried afterwards.
After Doc Holliday died, Doctor Crook sent Wyatt a photograph of Doc that had been taken in Glenwood Springs before he had become bedridden. There’s also a story that Doc’s gun was also sent to Wyatt although again not a lot of evidence to prove whether or not it’s true.Who was with him?
Doctor Crook looked after Doc during the thirty-three days that he was bedridden. Doctor Crook practiced in Leadville, Co prior to moving to Glenwood Springs. Both Doc Holliday and Doctor Crook knew of one another in Leadville and it’s quite possible that Holliday had received medical care from Doctor Crook in Leadville.
In the 1970s, Art Kendricks, a prominent Glenwood Citizen and ex-mayor of Glenwood Springs would recall his early days working as a busboy in the Hotel Glenwood. He told Mr. A. E. Axtell, City Manager of Glenwood Springs that on numerous occasions he would be called up to Doc’s room to bring a bottle of liquor and was tipped ten cents each time.
According to Karen Holliday Tanner’s book Doc Holliday – A Family Portrait, Big Nose Kate was also with Doc when he died and made the funeral arrangements.Final Words
Doc is said to have had a final drink of whiskey and said,”This is funny.”Was there a Sanatorium in Glenwood Springs at the time?
No not in 1887. That would come later when The Saint Joseph’s Sanatorium was opened by The Sisters of Charity Leavenworth in 1898. The Sanatorium was part of the Yampah Hotel.Personal Belongings
A diamond stickpin with the diamond removed, a small knife, a straight razor and some toiletries were among the possessions that Doc left after he died. These were forwarded on to Doc’s cousin and correspondent of fifteen years Martha Anne Holliday.Funeral
Rev. W.S. Rudolph delivered the funeral address. On November 9, 1887 The Aspen Daily Times reported “Glenwood Springs, Colo., November 8 – Doc Holliday died here this morning at the Hotel Glenwood and was buried this afternoon and was followed to the cemetery by a large number of kindred spirits.”Gravesite
There are all kinds of stories about this. The official record is that Doc’s remains were moved from the old cemetery and placed in the newer Linwood Cemetery near where the current memorial stone stands. Others say that the ground was too icy to bury him on top of the hill and that he’s still buried where the old cemetery was which is probably under someone’s house. This is quite unlikely as all the bodies were moved.
In a letter addressed to Susan McKey Thomas in 1973 Art Kendricks is again called upon to recollect Doc Holliday’s burial. He stated that Doc was buried on Palmer Avenue and Twelfth Street, just below the Linwood Cemetery. He would then account that Doc’s body was moved up to Linwood Cemetery at a later date and that he had marked the place with a small wooden cross. The American Legion Post donated a headstone to replace the wooden cross. This is where the current headstone sits.
It’s interesting to note that the grave next to Doc’s is Arthur Seller’s who died of typhoid in The Hotel Glenwood on September 22, 1887 just a few weeks before Doc. His room was across the hall from Doc’s. I think there’s a good chance that Doc is buried close to the marker as it would make logical sense to lay out the new cemetery with the most recently deceased next to one another. However, since the records for the cemetery are missing from the times, I can’t verify this one way or another.
Another suggestion has been made that Doc’s body was shipped back to Georgia and buried in Griffin, GA. Two unmarked gravestones have been found in Oak Hill cemetery. It’s claimed that one of the gravestones is for Doc’s father Major Henry Burroughs Holliday and the other for Doc Holliday himself. Again, there is currently no easy way to prove this one way or another.
Best craps dice roll. The age-old art of risking money on the roll of dice comes in many forms, but craps is a true classic, gambling distilled to its very essence. With a seemingly endless selection of wagers to choose from — ranging from the safe and snug Pass Line play to the exotic longshots like the Hard 8, Big 6, and the Yo — the craps table offers a. The All Sevens Set is the most popular dice set currently being used at the craps tables on the Come-Out roll. It has the ‘seven’ showing on all sides and if executed correctly, it will give you the best chance of hitting a natural (7) or (11) and winning on the Come-Out. This page is the second part of the dice control guide.Once you have the basics down, such as throwing the dice level and parallel to the surface of the craps table, then the next step is to choose a good dice set and really start to apply your newly taught skills.Doc’s 100th Anniversary
In 1987, on the 100th anniversary of Doc Holliday’s death, Glenwood Springs celebrated with a wake and a funeral procession with disturbingly enough a Doc Holliday impersonator in a casket. There was also a huge poker party where local dentists served as dealers.Visiting Doc’s Grave
Whether or not Doc is buried in Linwood Cemetery doesn’t bother visitors to Doc’s memorial. They endure the steep walk to leave flowers, playing cards, empty bottles of whiskey and even toothpaste at the site.
In the 1993 movie Tombstone, Val Kilmer brilliantly played the alcoholic, consumption stricken gunfighter Doc Holliday. But what is “consumption,” and how realistic was his portrayal of Doc?Tombstone Doc Holliday Poker Scene
“Consumption” is the old-fashioned term for the disease TB or tuberculosis, which is a highly infectious disease caused by an agent called a mycobacterium (technically a type of bacteria, just like the more commonly known strep or staph).
The disease has afflicted mankind for millennia; evidence of its devastating effects has even been seen in Egyptian mummies. Tuberculosis commonly affects the lungs and is spread easily by infected droplets spewed out when someone coughs or spits. In full blown cases, patients are afflicted by fatigue, weight loss, night sweats and episodic productive coughing, occasionally characterized by the presence of blood.
In the 1880s, doctors had no bona fide cure for pulmonary TB. They usually recommended that the “lunger” seek an area of the country where the weather was dry and cool. The finest respiratory hospital in the U.S., National Jewish Medical and Research Center, was established in Denver, Colorado, in 1893 for the care and treatment of “consumptives” and eventually those with other serious lung disorders.
Doc Holliday was born John Henry Holliday on August 14, 1851, in Griffin, Georgia. His mother Alice died of pulmonary TB on September 16, 1866, when Doc was 15 years old. His adopted stepbrother Francisco Hidalgo also died of TB in 1866.
Overcoming a difficult childhood, Doc enrolled in dental school in Philadelphia in 1870 and graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in 1872. After practicing dentistry for a year in Atlanta, he too was diagnosed with TB, probably contracted years earlier from his mother or stepbrother. He traveled west, embarking upon many adventures (legend says he left for his health, although Dox expert Gary Roberts maintains that he left due to family complications). He ended up in Tombstone, Arizona, in the summer of 1879.
Kilmer:TB or Not TB?
Val Kilmer’s depiction of Doc Holliday is set at a time when the unfortunate dentist, by then an alcoholic gambler and gunfighter, had only about eight years to live before his disease became terminal.

With a few notable exceptions, a careful medical assessment of Kilmer’s character reveals that Hollywood finally “got it mostly right.” He was a pale, pasty, malnourished, debilitated wreck of a man, with red swollen eyes, who demonstrated episodic, short-lived bursts of energy that eventually landed him in bed (often with his partner and maybe wife, Big-Nosed Kate, played by Joanna Pacula). These physical decompensations were realistically portrayed.
The normal body defenses try to enclose the TB bacteria in the lung. These “walled off” pockets are called granulomas. Under a wide variety of circumstances (such as exhaustion and malnutrition, sometimes even silica exposure, if you are a hard-rock miner), these granulomas will break down and bleed, releasing the TB bacteria into the airways where they can be coughed up with blood and saliva.
On several occasions, Kilmer re-enacted these setbacks with clinical accuracy. They were heralded by severe coughing with hemoptysis (coughing up blood) followed by collapse. During these episodes, the real-life Doc’s disease would have probably spread within his own body and to others who were the target of his pulmonary secretions.
One target of these secretions in the movie was Kate, especially during episodes of deep kissing. How Kate avoided contracting pulmonary TB is remarkable and nearly miraculous (great immune system!), for she died in 1940 of “natural causes” just five days short of her 90th birthday.
Quackery (Just a Bit)
The movie departs from medical reality when Doc stands in for Wyatt in his successful gunfight with Johnny Ringo (played by Michael Biehn). This scene is a clinical stretch, especially given his recent collapse and confinement at the ranch of Henry Hooker (Charlton Heston), just a day or so before the showdown.
The real-life Doc died a quiet death from the complications of TB and alcoholism in a hotel in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on November 8, 1887. Openssl failed to enumerate slots. One summer day, my wife Sally and I spent three hours on a windy hillside above this mountain town, trying to find his grave, only to learn that its precise location is known, only to the ages.Related Posts
