John Henry "Doc" Holliday of Tombstone fame spent two separate tenures in Prescott. In early November 1879, Doc arrived with Wyatt and James Earp and their families. The Earp brothers, including Virgil who had been a Prescott constable, journeyed to Tombstone while Doc stayed behind in Prescott, which he found to his liking. In the spring of 1880, Doc traveled to Las Vegas, New Mexico, to take care of some unfinished business involving a saloon he had co-owned there. He was back in Prescott sometime before June. Holliday lived with Richard Elliott, whose house sat on three lots behind this marker. Also boarding there was the acting governor, John Gosper. According to Wyatt Earp, Doc did very well gambling along Whiskey Row. The above photograph of Doc was taken by Daniel Francis Mitchell in his studio on Cortez Street. It is one of only two verified images of the legendary dentist, gambler, and gunslinger. Evidence suggests that his friend Wyatt wrote letters to Doc urging him to come to the boomtown down south. Holliday arrived in Tombstone in the fall of 1880. On October 26, 1881, near the OK Corral, Doc and the Earp brothers shot their way into everlasting fame.
