Doc Holiday

Yes, even the infamous Doc Holliday left his mark on Fourteener Country.

After the O.K. Corral shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, many of the participants fled Arizona and headed towards the mining towns and camps of Colorado, where they were able to continue their adventurous lifestyles. Doc Holliday was among those who made their presence known in this area. He caught the train to the end of the tracks in Buena Vista (then only about a year old) and then took the stage to Leadville. He was on the dodge, being sought by the remnants of the "Cowboys" (the Arizona gang of rustlers and thugs whom Doc stood against with the Earps at the O.K. Corral) and also wanted for robbery in Colorado, on what some say was a trumped up charge. At any rate, he didn't stay long before he moved on to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where he ultimately died.
