Short novel set in the old West involving Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday with appearances from Charles Goodnight and Indians and Nellie Bly, I think. Oh and Buffalo Bill Cody. One of McMurtry's "I write ten pages a day so here's a novel" books but it's easy to read, and. being about Wyatt Earp gives it freshness. There's amiable talk with brief interspersed violence, and some Indian torture - McMurtry really loved putting that in his later books. The gunfight at the OK Corrall is dealt with very quickly.
