Who Did Doc Shoot?
One of the most famous gunfighters in the West,
but how many men did he really kill?
Compiled by R.W. Boyle © 2004
Doc History is a fascinating and complex story. This is probably the most common question asked during the Q&A after performances. Here is what my research tells me is most likely to be Doc’s “score”. I have left in a few of the most common reported incidents for which there is no solid evidence, and have left out most alleged shootings where there is no hard evidence (such as newspaper accounts, court records, or contemporaneous participant/witness verification) for the story.
Summer of 1866 or 67? – Doc’s first “shooting incident”.
Valdosta, GA.; Doc is 15 or 16 years old. Doc’s uncle’s Thomas H. McKey and William H. McKey owned land along the Withlacoochee River, east of Valdosta, GA; Doc and friends have built a swimming hole on the property and Doc (still John Henry) takes Uncle Tom out to see it. There, they find a group of Negro children swimming in the pool. Doc fires a shot or two (Dad’s ’51 Navy?) over their heads to drive them away. No one is injured. Local rumor mill eventually claims fatalities.
January 1, 1875 – Charles “Champagne” Austin.
Dallas, TX; ”Dr Holliday and Mr. (Charles W.) Austin, a saloon keeper, relieved the monotony of the noise of firecrackers by taking a couple of shots at each other yesterday afternoon. The cheerful note of the peaceful six-shooter is heard once more among us. Both shooters were arrested.” (Dallas Weekly Herald, January 2, 1875. Doc indicted for assault to murder in the above incident Jan. 18th; but both had missed and Doc was found not guilty Jan 25th.

OWDR – Wk. 01, 01/01/1875 – Charles “Champagne” Austin gunfight
July 4, 1877 – Henry Kahn; He shot Doc!
Breakenridge, TX; Doc reported killed by The Dallas Weekly Herald (July 7, 1877)! Doc goes to the Transcontinental Hotel in Ft. Worth to rest and heal. The family sends older cousin George Holliday out from Georgia to assist in his recovery.
see:
OWDR – Wk. 27, 07/04/1877 – Henry Kahn fight
Fall 1877 – Ed Bailey, dead.
Ft. Griffin, TX; knifed by Doc. Wyatt said that Ed was, “monkeying with the deadwood”*. Doc arrested for illegal gaming, (drinking and gambling, not murder.) Threatened with lynching by the vigilantes of “The Tin Hat Brigade”. This leads to the great escape with Kate to Dodge City! A warrant for arson is issued for Kate in Shackleford County but it’s not served because she never returns. Bat Masterson and Wyatt were prone to tell this story on occasion, but it is most likely a compendium of several events. Something happened here, but other than the arson warrant, this one’s not confirmed by court records or newspaper accounts. Great Doc History legend material!
* “monkeying with the deadwood” Going back through (reviewing) the discard pile. A forbidden practice, calling for forfeiture of the hand by the offending party, without consideration of the value of players hands. Doc should not have been expected to reveal his cards.
Summer 1878 – Wounds one.
Dodge City, KS; Doc interrupts a winning card game with Cockeyed Frank Loving at The Long Branch to Save Wyatt from Tobe Driscoll, Ed Morrison and a gang of drunken Texas cowboys. Maybe? Wyatt was grateful for something about then. This story comes in several forms.
July 19, 1879 – Mike Gordon, killed.
Las Vegas, NM; Mike Gordon was drunk, belligerent and shooting up the town. Somebody did a public service and no one in the crowd who witnessed the shooting could say who did it (“excusable homicide” as defined by the Coroner’s Jury). He was found later in the night, shot, and died early the next morning. Doc Holliday had some trouble with Mike that night at his saloon but he never owned up to killing him and no charges were ever brought against him. Hoodoo Brown’s records for that month seemed to have been mislaid so if there was any legal action, we don’t know. Two years later the Tombstone Nugget quoted the Las Vegas Optic describing Doc as, “the identical individual who killed poor inoffensive Mike Gordon”. In later years, Bat Masterson muddied the water on this one with a clear description of Doc’s actions.
see:
OWDR – Wk. 29, 07/19/1879 – Mike Gordon
March 12, 1880 – Charlie White, wounded.
Las Vegas, NM; Yup, he and Doc had words and shots at each other; charges dismissed. Charlie left town. Miguel A. Otero (later Governor of New Mexico) confirmed this event.
see:
OWDR – Wk. 11, 03/12/1880 – Charlie White shooting
Arizona Oct. 11, 1880 – Milt Joyce, shot in the hand, William Parker (shot in the left big toe).
Tombstone, Arizona Territory; Doc and Johnny Tyler argue, but are disarmed by friends before shots are fired. Milt tells both Doc and Tyler to leave and Tyler does. Doc and Milt argue about Doc causing a disturbance in the bar and Milt tosses Doc bodily out the door. Doc later returns and he and Milt get into an argument about the return of Doc’s gun from behind the bar. Milt refuses to return it and Doc leaves again but shortly returns with a “self cocker” and fires two shots at Milt. Milt and his partner are both hit and Milt whacks Doc on the head with a six gun. The next day, witnesses don’t show, Doc pleads to misdemeanor Assault and Battery and pays a $20.00 fine and $11.25 in Marshall fees.

OWDR – Wk. 41, 10/11/1880 – Joyce and Parker shootings
Aug 12, 1881 – Newman Hayes “Old Man” Clanton, dead.
Guadalupe Canyon (more likely Skeleton Canyon); Doc claimed to have killed him with a Winchester rifle. Ten Eyck and James Earp backed up the claim. Jim Crane (Benson Stage robber) was also killed in this fight, unknown who got him. Doc was probably wounded in this fight and that was why he was using the cane that Virgil traded for the shotgun at Hafford’s just before “The Streetfight in Tombstone”. Wyatt said that Doc had taunted Ike Clanton on the street with the claim of shooting “Old Man” the day before the gunfight. Warren Earp was also wounded in this fight, likely the reason that he was not a participant at the OK. Several other lesser lights in the cowboy group were probably killed or wounded here.

Gunfight at the OK Corral
October 26, 1881 – Tombstone, Arizona Territory
This 1886 Tombstone Fire Map is marked in yellow to show the OK Corral
and in green to show the site of the gunfight.
Illustration: 1886 Sanborn Map and Publishing Company – New York
This is the most complex story in Doc History. All over a blood feud and a misdemeanor arrest gone wrong. Doc Holliday, Virgil & Morgan Earp wounded, only Wyatt Earp escaped unscathed. Ike Clanton, Billy Claiborne, & Wes Fuller ran away.
Tom McLaury, dead.
Tom got both barrels in the right chest from the shotgun that Virgil Earp had traded Doc for the cane he was carrying when he arrived at Col. Hafford’s about 2 PM that day. Photo: pre-1881 unknown.
Frank McLaury, dead.
Wyatt’s first shot gutshot Frank and he staggered out into Fremont street and sort of got ignored ‘til the end of the fight. Frank got it back together while everyone was shooting at Billy, then, he pulled down on Doc, whose gun was empty and said, “I’ve got you now you Son of a Bitch”. Doc responded, “You’re a daisy if you have!” Wounded himself, Morgan Earp, shot Frank dead before he could fire on Doc. Some accounts have Doc putting a bullet into Frank during the fight. No evidence or testimony exists to support this claim. Photo: U.S. PD pre-1881 unknown
Billy Clanton, dead.
Shot three times, Billy was brave and feisty, most likely he or Morgan fired the first shot in the fight. Everybody on the Earp’s side shot at poor Billy (hit three times). Doc should probably have an assist on this one. As with so much in Doc History, there’s mud in the water. Photo: U.S. PD pre-1881.
Wyatt Earp won’t let Sheriff Johnny Behan arrest the survivors that day. However, Wyatt and Doc (lightly wounded) were arrested, charged and held in jail by Sheriff John Behan on complaints sworn by Ike Clanton. Morgan and Virgil, shot in the fight and confined to bed, were to badly hurt to be held in jail. After a lengthy and hotly contested preliminary examination, Judge (JP) Wells Spicer determined that no charges should be brought before a grand jury (Nov 30). He does rule that Virgil had “committed an injudicious and censurable act” by using Wyatt, Morgan and [mostly] Doc to help him deal with the cowboys. “The Streetfight in Tombstone” as it was referred to locally, later came to be called “The Gunfight at the OK Corral”. No part of the actual fight occurred in any part of the corral it was in a vacant lot between Fly’s boarding house, his studio and the Harwood House; said to have been a colored brothel. (Inspect the map above). Still a very live topic today, there are hundreds of articles, books etc. Opinions and speculation galore! Enjoy! Photo: U.S. PD c. 1880’s unknown, John Behan.

1882
Mar 20, 1882 – Frank Stillwell, dead
Tucson, AZ; Wyatt got him but Doc claimed that he shot Frank twice more “for good measure”; both with shotguns. Frank was shot five times. Probably assisted by Warren Earp, Sherman McMasters and someone known only as Johnson (likely, Turkey Creek Jack). Photo: U.S. PD pre-1882 unknown, this might be Frank?

The Vendetta – The Pestiferous Posse
March 22, 1882 – Florentino “Indian Charlie” Cruz, dead.
At Pete Spence’s wood camp in the South Pass of The Dragoon Mountains: Theodore Judah said that there were six men in the Earp’s Posse, Simion Acosta and Epiniania Vegas said there were eight. Everyone agreed that the posse chased and killed Florintino with ten or twelve shots. Four actually hit and at the coroners inquest in Tombstone, Dr. George E. Goodfellow who examined the body thought that either of two, of those, could have been fatal.Doc was a good shot, even so, at best, this is another assist. Legend has Sherman McMasters doing the shooting here.
see:
OWDR – Wk. 12, 03/22/1882 – “Indian Charlie”
March 24, 1882 – “Curly Bill” Brocius, dead.
Iron Springs in the Whetstone Mountains; shot by Wyatt point blank with both barrels from his shotgun. Johnny Barnes (whom Ike Clanton later claimed was the shooter of Virgil) also later dies at Charleston of wounds suffered in this shootout. Wyatt, alone and out front, did most of the shooting here. Doc was busy rescuing Texas Jack Vermillion (whose horse was down in the ambush at the beginning of the fight) and may not have shot anyone. Wyatt was unhappy with everyone for leaving him to do the fighting. Photo: U.S. PD pre-1882, unknown.

1882
July 13, 1882 – “The tanks” near Morse Canyon, AZ. Based on information from Behan Deputy Billy Breakenridge and Buckskin Frank Leslie, the last leader of “the Cowboys”, Johnny Ringo, is hunted down by a posse led by Wyatt Earp and shot dead. Fred Dodge, Harry Goober, Johnny Green, Doc Holliday , John Meagher and Harelip Charlie Smith probably filled out the group (all still debated, Doc History is full of questions!).
see:
07/14 – below
1882
John Ringo’s {30} body found dead, in a stand of white and black oaks, by teamster John Yost at the “tanks” in Morse’s Canyon in the Chiricahua Mountains, AZ; locals had heard a shot around three the afternoon before. He is bootless, his pistol’s hammer caught on his watch chain over a fired round, with the top of his head blown off. (No powder burns were evident.) Johnny had been on a two-week drunk with Buckskin Frank Leslie and Billy Claiborne, and was on his way to the outlaw town of Galeyville. His horse was found at the Chiricahua Cattle Company Ranch ten miles away, boots and coat tied to the saddle, reins over the horn. Why was his cartridge belt on upside down? Buckskin Frank Leslie claimed the kill but Doc later said Wyatt had killed him with a single shot from a Winchester rifle. Wyatt and Fred Dodge wanted to be sure Ringo’s death was noted but not connected to them. Here is another of those wonderful controversies about what really happened and why… look it up and enjoy! Wyatt is still the best candidate. Photo: U.S. PD c. 1880’s unknown.

Aug. 19, 1884 – William J. “Billy” Allen, wounded.
Leadville, CO; over a $5.00 debt. Allen had been threatening Doc before the incident, Doc pleads, “no duty to retreat” and is found not guilty. This was Doc’s last hurrah!

Well, there you have it. ONE for sure kill, one very likely and nine or ten wounded, depending on whether you think Doc got one into Frank McLaury at the OK. Much of it still under heavy debate after all these years! Ain’t Doc History great?

Doc History – Death & Burial
Here is place where Doc died on November 8, 1887.
On the Northeast corner of 8th Street and Grand Avenue
in Downtown Glenwood Springs, CO.
This older photo shows the Hotel Glenwood before the beautiful balconies were added.
The building burned to the ground in December of 1945 with the loss of eight lives.
(see: New Photo 2015)
Here is the version of Doc History from my Performance Timeline.
Drawn over the years (20+) from numerous sources.
{My current comments and additional FYI’s.}
August 14, 1887 – Doc is 36.
September 1887 – Mary Katherine Haroney said to have arrived in Glenwood from Globe, AZ to care of Doc. In his last 57 days Doc is only up twice. Kate stays with him. He is delirious at times, by the third week in September. He is served by bellhop Art Kendrick, whom Doc called, Kenny.
{Later owner of The Hotel Denver – sold it in 1938}
October 4, 1887 – Harelip Charlie Smith arrives and takes part-time work to support himself, Doc & Kate.
{October 05, 1887 – The D&RGW RR arrives in Glenwood, 7:45 PM. Fireworks, gunshots, powder explosions, etc.}
November 7, 1887 – Josephine Earp claimed to Mrs. Cason that she and Wyatt had visited Doc, the day before he died.
{At this time, I have no idea who Mrs. Cason was and the museum doesn’t either.}
November 8, 1887 – Doc, sitting up in bed, having taken a tumbler of whiskey, says, “I’ll be dammed, This is funny” and dies at 9:55 am.
Kate says, “the end of Holliday”. Then, Kate leaned over Doc’s body, said something inaudible to him, then, “Doc is at peace, Charlie, The worms won’t get Doc today.”
{Charlie Smith, Sarah Field Cooper, Walter Deveraux and others said to have been present.}
Undertakers came about 11am to take Doc to his silver-trimmed coffin, donated by friends in the city. Hats were tipped all around to Kate as the hearse rolled away.
{If this is true, the new photo (assuming this is the point at which it was made) would have been taken sometime between ten and eleven and he would have had to have been put in the wheelchair. Perhaps to move him to the hearse? Doesn’t seem likely. If so, where did they find that window? Its more probable evidence for the photo having been made earlier and likely somewhere else among the locations under consideration.}
{The other thing is, if the silver trimmed coffin story is true, if a search for Doc’s actual grave is ever made (perhaps for DNA?) this fact might help locate/identify the coffin up in Potter’s Field.}
Buried at 4PM, Harelip Charlie says it was in Linwood Cemetery. Rev W.S. Rudolph (Presbyterian) officiating, said to have been substituting for Father Art Downey (Catholic).
{It was Father Downey who ended up with Doc’s Shotgun.}
see:
Doc’s Guns
Kate said she returned Doc’s property to Georgia to John Stiles Holliday (Doc’s Uncle) and departed Glenwood Springs to return to Globe, AZ.
{The diamond from his stickpin was missing when things arrived in Georgia.}
___
{FYI: A number of years ago (early 1990’s) in response to a comment I had made during a newspaper interview about my Doc performances, I was contacted by two old timers from Rifle, CO. Both claimed to have been present at Doc’s reburial c. 1910. Both were too old to climb to the cemetery but they described essentially the same location for the grave. If they are correct, I think I know within less than than a dozen graves where Doc may actually be. However, the current Doc History position of the Glenwood Springs Historical Museum is that there never was an intermediate burial of Doc, down in town. They claim he went straight into the Cemetery on November 8, 1887 and that location is unknown. – Doc B.}
___
{Doc B. – Cousin Mattie (a Catholic) was known to have maintained a correspondence with Doc. She was Mother Superior of The Little Sisters of Charity in Atlanta, GA at the time of her death. The family says Doc’s letters were burned after her death because it was deemed improper for a nun to have corresponded with a gambler/killer, etc. The Ute Chief obit seems to imply that some correspondence was found in Doc’s effects, otherwise, how did Riland know about Mattie? [see obit below].}
Death of J. A. Holliday
Died, in Glenwood Springs Colorado, Tuesday, November 8, 1887,
about 10 o’clock am, of consumption, J.A. Holliday
(Actually J.H. Holliday, reporter error – Doc B.)
J.A. Holliday or “Doc” Holliday as he was better known, came to Glenwood Springs from Leadville last May, and by his quiet and gentlemanly demeanor during his short stay and the fortitude and patience he displayed in his last two months of life, made many friends. Although a young man he had been in the west for twenty five years, and from a life of exposure and hardship had contracted consumption, from which he had been a constant sufferer for many years. Since he took up his residence at the Springs the evil effects of the sulphur vapors arising from the hot springs on his weak lungs could readily be detected and for the last few months it was seen that a dissolution was only the question of a little time, hence his death, was not entirely unexpected. From the effects of disease from which he had suffered probably half his life, Holliday, at the time of his death looked like a man well advanced in years, for his hair was silvered and his form emaciated and bent, but he was only thirty-six years of age.
Holliday was born in Georgia, where relatives of his still reside. Twenty-five years ago, when but eleven years of age, he started for the west, and since that time he has probably been in every state and territory west of the Mississippi river. He served as sheriff in one of the counties of Arizona during troublous times in that section, and served in other official capacities in different parts of the west. Of him it can be said that he represented law and order at all times and places. Either from a roving nature or while seeking a climate congenial to his disease, “Doc” kept moving about from place to place and finally in the early days of Leadville came to Colorado. After remaining there for several years he came to this section last spring. For the last two months his death was expected at any time; during the last fifty-seven days he had only been out of his bed twice; the past two weeks he was delirious, and for twenty-four hours preceding his death he did not speak.
He was baptized in the Catholic church, but Father Ed. Downey being absent, Rev. W.S. Rudolph delivered the funeral address and the remains were consigned to their final resting place in Linwood cemetery at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of November 8th, in the presence of many friends. That “Doc” Holliday had his faults none will attempt to deny; but who among us has not, and who shall be the judge of these things.
He only had one correspondent among his relatives–a cousin, a Sister of Charity, in Atlanta, Georgia. She will be notified of his death and will in turn advise any other relatives he may have living. Should there be an aged father or mother they will be pleased to learn that kind and sympathetic hands were about their son in his last hours, and that his remains were accorded Christian burial.
Nov. 9, 1887 J.L. Riland
Literal transcription from the Ute Chief newspaper
Dated November 12, 1887
___
“There is scarcely one in the country who had acquired a greater notoriety than Doc Holliday, who enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most fearless men on the frontier, and whose devotion to his friends in the climax of the fiercest ordeal was inextinguishable. It was this, more than any other faculty, that secured for him the reverence of a large circle who were prepared on the shortest notice to rally to his relief.”

Doc Quotes
Doc’s “Grave”
As noted before, Doc History is full of questions. The memorial stone says, Doc is somewhere in Linwood Pioneer Cemetery. In 1887, Joseph Swartz had only recently acquired the new bury patch. The place was never well platted, records were not the best and Doc was an early burial in the potters field (11/08/1887). City Council records show that the “Scavenger”, Richard Hewson, was employed before Doc’s death. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that Doc was buried in the cemetery at the time of his death and not at the bottom of the hill as legend suggests and I have reported here in the past. Hewson was paid $20 for each body he moved in the spring and the city would not have been willing to pay twice for an indigent burial. The ground in Linwood was not yet frozen and weather records show a good weather day for November 8, 1887. Researchers at the Frontier Historical Society in Glenwood Springs are confident that this is the correct version of the tale.
The Georgia family came to “take Doc home” in the 1950′s after a newspaper article, noting that his honorary tombstone had been vandalized. They couldn’t find the real grave and Doc is still in Linwood (There is a marker in Griffin, GA). The current gravestone is the third; the first vandalized, the second incorrectly dated and deemed too modern. His memorial, now demoted to third place in tourist popularity by Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park* (see: DHL Links), [the Hot Springs Pool has always been #1 in Glenwood Springs], is down in the part of the cemetery with the “solid” citizenry; quite a ways from “God’s Acre” (the Potter’s Field) and the actual grave.
There is a lot of controversy (as always in Western History) about these Doc History issues. Perhaps the wildest claims come from Leadville, CO. There has always been a contingent of Doc “experts” up there at 10,000 feet who are certain they have the true story. They know where Doc’s really buried, they have the shipping label from the trunk returned to his father after his death and they know the whole story on the Flattops vendetta ride that never was. True enough, Doc certainly spent time in that fair city and I’ve been up there a few time myself, heard the claims and seen the “evidence”. Certainly worth a visit to hear and see for yourself, but as accepted Doc History, I think I’d be takin’ my blackstrap molasses to sweeten the taste of the large amount of NaCl it’s gonna take to get it all down.
