“Doc Was A Dentist Whom Necessity Had Made A Gambler; A Gentleman Whom Disease Had Made A Frontier

“Doc was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a frontier vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long lean ash-blond fellow nearly dead with consumption, and at the same time the most skillful gambler and the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a gun that I ever knew.”

–Wyatt Earp
