This was the best historical fiction book I've read in a long time. It begins with the marriage of Holliday's parents, and moves quickly through his childhood to his dental practice in Texas and in Dodge City, KS. While in Dodge, Holliday looks into the death of a young man of mixed race, whose education he had encouraged. It ends with his decision to move to Arizona territory. Though Holliday is the focus, and Kate and the Earps also get quite a bit of coverage, what is most interesting is the backstories provided to so many side characters. Various ex-prostitutes, the Chinese laundry operator, a visiting priest, and local bigwigs all provide insights into many lives in the Old West. I found these stories to be even more engaging than the question of who killed John Horse Simmons, which is an interesting plot device on its own. Finally, there is the hunger for art in the middle of a wilderness. Holliday is a pianist and a lover of music, but has hardly anyone to talk to about great composers. He is a reader, and treasures his few novels by Dostoevsky, Dickens, and Virgil. Staying alive requires that he live in a place where good art can hardly ever be found. This greatly colors his relationship with Kate. In this version of events she is demanding and temperamental, but also the highly educated daughter of an ambassador to Mexico. She speaks several languages including Latin and Greek, and can quote from the classics. While this might not be an accurate history, it makes their relationship more poignant.
