According to Kate: The Legendary Life of Big Nose Kate, Love of Doc Holliday
Spent some time in Tombstone last week. I went to high school close by in Sierra Vista, so it was like going home again. The rich history of the area didn’t mean much to me when I was a teenager. I never considered the legendary Western figures that traveled the dusty backroads leading in and out of Tombstone. The only significance those roads had for me then was that they were great places to park and make out. I also thought Sean Penn was a city in China. I was young and obviously not very bright.
When I visit Tombstone now, I can’t help but think about Kate Elder and her time there with Doc Holliday. I’m grateful to have been able to write her biography and thankful the title has been well-received.

It’s hard in my mind to go wrong with any books written by Chris Enss. She has established herself as one of the great historians of old west history. Another aspect of her that I enjoy is she does not always attack the normal topics and characters that have tended to receive and captivate everyone’s attention but also dives into the more side characters such as Kate. Doc and the Earps punched their tickets to eternal western history fame but others like Kate were just as much a part of that history.
There are a lot of unknowns when it came to Kate but Chris did a great job digging up as much as she could find to bring her full story to life and show that while Doc was a big part of that, there was more to her story.
I highly recommend this to anyone who is a student of the old west.
