New evidence of his life in Prescott reveals the gambler was on the move back and forth to New Mexico before joining the Earps in Cochise County.

Yay, Bob’s back!
I enjoyed this one.
Love The Palace, you could do an episode on that place alone.
It’s not just the most beautiful saloon in all of Arizona, it also has GREAT food! The original bar was saved during the Whiskey Row fires because patrons took it across the street and continued to drink while everything burned.
Doc was a regular, he allegedly killed someone there during a knife fight.
Be cool to know more about that story.
Thank you so much BBB!
Love these videos. Big fan and subscriber to true west mag. And would like to say thank you for keeping these stories alive and even more the continuos search for truth.
Globe is also a nice place to visit.
Nice work.
Another great one Bob
Great story. Cheers
Very interesting, as always. The modes of transportation are endlessly fascinating. And good on Brad Courtney.
Thank you Bob who would have thought there was more information that we hadn't already gleaned from every movie that we've seen 🤣🤣great stuff🤠
Hey Bob , my dad told me about a filling station that used to cut peoples fan belts. That might have been your Dads outfit 👍
OUTSTANDING
Thank you very kindly. It will be interesting to see how AI can reveal more history in the coming years, almost like time traveling back.
It doesn't sound like Wyatt was fond of Big Nose. After she pulled that stunt regarding the Benson Stage hold up and Docs trial he kicks her out and Wyatt is glad of it. There's a lot of evidence that indicates he was not involved. Where exactly is the Wells , north of Tombstone? This is a water source Tombstone was using. Doc came back with his horse tied to the Water Wagon. Then tied it to a hitching rail. The story of the tuckered out sweaty horse was a lie. Or happened later.
Wow … great to see another video from you !! Without even pushing play yet, I know it’s going to be a great video.
Thank you, sir. Great respect !!
Kevin Jarre with Jeff Morey's recommend advise hired me for "Tombstone"
👍👍!!!
just read article and the one on bill Tilghman both great!! tks
Bob quite entertaining and great information. Thanks always for sharing.
sounds like Doc paid his debt, using the earnings from his gambling ventures. hmm i do not recall Doc owing debts. at least not one unpaid.
makes sense Doc would pay his bills, even if the coach was open air and Long duck trip going east. thanks for the drop.
i prefer boarding rooms over renting a hotel room. the Boarding Houses usually come with a nice old lady that can cook and takes pride in her cooking. hotels being owned usually by men, with men telling the cooks what to do, not knowing in the WEST, the Cook knows Best. trail cooks are like small g gods, if they can make good biscuits.
Dear Bob Bozbelle,I am a psychic.I have discovered the technology of "Re-encarnation….I have been fallowing you for more than twenty years,arond the time you did your first documentary that came out on TV……I saw right away who you had been in your previous life…..Havent you pondered why you have been spacificly interested in "Doc Holiday?Perhaps even "Obsessed "? Very simple and i can provide evidence or proof of who you had been….I know all kinds of other carecters,famous or not who they have been as well,Yes you are the re-encarnation of "Doc Holiday"…..If you would like to have a conversation, contact me.God Bless you and your family and thank you for all of your works…Sinserly Guy Pouteau.
Niiiice! I will get the magazine. My man Doc really knew how wabder before coming to tombstone to join wyatt and his party. 🎩
Love your stories. Lived near Williamson Rd in Prescott. Watched a young couple get chased by wild pigs in downtown Prescott, hung out at the yogurt shop. loved the history time line on library sidewalk. Had a creepy feeling that I was being watched out of the corner of Bucky O Neill's statue's eye. Now we do a Costco run every now and then. I wonder what Doc and the Earp's would think about places like that?
Sounds like we need a Doc Holliday Western
Outstanding!!
Mr. Bell, it's great to see you put out this video. I miss seeing more from you, I really appreciate the time you gave me at the Tucson book fest. And the amazing picture you took with me, hope to meet you again sometime your work and artistry are fantastic God Bless 🎉
BOB YOU REALLY SHOULD VISIT GRIFFIN GEORGIA. I HAD A 38 PAGE PAPER I DONE FOR RESEARCH THERE. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T NO WHERE IT IS,.BUT IF I CAN FIND IT I'LL SEND IT TO YOU
👍
No doubt, Doc lived an interesting life.
Was that your pet lizard that scampered along the left side of the screen around the 2-minute mark?
Very cool!!!
I hiked back to Gillette, about 30 years ago, to find not too much of Gillette there. I'd be willing to bet there is less these days. When you first mentioned Big Nose Kate leaving Gillette for Globe, I giggled a bit, then right on cue, you hit it! You would REALLY wanted to have taken that trip back then!
For those not from the area, in modern terms, my wife and I can jump in our car in the middle of downtown Phoenix, and in an hour and a half, be in Globe these days. Rock Springs, which is as close as the modern world gets to Gillette, would add 45 minutes to the trip…. The trip today, uses the same basic route they would have traveled then.
My favorite historian.
Great to see you back Bob.
I absolutely love your story telling and this one is no exception! Please do more and more often! 13:35
Awesome video! Thank you Bob. I love Western history so much.
Great stuff. ❤❤❤
I seriously love this guy and this channel. I love the old west era.
