Really such a great book! Even though I know very little about the actual shoot-out at the O.K Corral, I loved "meeting" the famous Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers.  I'm still surprised that the story didn't go into the specifics about the legendary shoot-out but I suppose the ending of the book reveals why.  And I'm fine with that.  It was a pleasure to learn about their personalities and the lives that they lived prior to becoming famous.
