Junior sciencerefresher magazine published this article page no 13 holliday has passed into legend as one of americas most fearsome steely-eyed gunslingers. but though he is credited with the killing of many men these stories have no historical evidence. in truth the one and only documented case of doc killing anybody was at the infamous gunfight at the ok corral when he shot tom mclaury with a double-barrel shotgun at close range…hardly a feat the required a sharpshooter. of his numerous escapades with a pistol he displayed abysmal aim probably as a result of the constant flow of whiskey he consumed to control his cough. he is said to have stabbed several men to death but this seems unlikely given his frail health and wasted physique he supposedly carried only about 120 pounds on his 510 frame when he died. more than a decade of gambling smoking drinking and fighting with some of the most dangerous men in america didnt kill doc holliday but it didnt slow the progression of his disease either. as he deteriorated he once again sought out better climate. in victorian times (and for a long time after) consumptives were encouraged to seek high altitudes. this led doc to the state of colorado the place that eventually killed him bright group of publications junior science refresher.
