      I've always liked Bob Bell. He researches the hell out of everything.

    Let's be honest, the Earps were crooks that got good press and Doc, although I respect his abilities, wasn't a fine upstanding citizen either..
    Their exploits and history has been twisted and embellished to increase readership of the dime store novels..

      "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

      A line from 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'.

      That movie is when I first fell in love with Vera Miles. 'The Searchers' only deepened my love.

      She's still alive at 94.

      Probably not as hot, though.

      No, but when she was 30 nobody wore pigtails, blue jeans and flannel shirts better.
      She definitely was a gorgeous woman.
