A rough draft excerpt from the work in progress Doc Holliday in Prescott: The Gambling Dentist at the Crossroads.

"Such was not the case, however, when Doc appeared on the streets of Prescott in late October/early November 1879. The Earp party with Doc and Kate in tow rode in unknown and unannounced. There were so many passing through Prescott on their way to Tombstone then that their contingent of seven was not unusual or noteworthy. The only newsworthy item at that time, because he had made a name for himself in the almost three years of time he lived and worked there, was that the former constable of Prescott, Virgil Earp, was preparing to leave town for Tombstone. There was no mention of who would join him. Not even Wyatt Earp. The strongest evidence also intimates that Virgil had not yet met Doc Holliday and first encountered him in Prescott."

During Prescott's Doc HolliDaze, this happened! Thank you WWHA! Visit the Pioneers' Home Cemetery and check it out! John Kinnear ran a stagecoach line in Tombstone during its wildest times.

This is from the WWHA Saddlebag and President Donna Harrell:

"From August 14th-16th, over twenty WWHA members attended Doc Hollidaze in Prescott, Arizona. It was a very successful meeting with presentations, dinners and social time with other Wild West history lovers. I was able to spend time talking to members and recruiting new members. It was also a great networking experience as I spent time talking to Stuart Rosebrook, President of Western Writers of America.

One very special event was a grave marker dedication for J. D. Kinnear. Many people, including those that were well-known, were buried without a headstone. Wild West History Association partners with families and historians to help fund grave markers for notable figures in Wild West history who currently have unmarked graves. If you know of someone who should be recognized, we welcome your suggestions."
