Legendary gunslingers Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday gained immortality because of a thirty-second shootout near a livery stable called the O.K. Corral. But what often isn’t told: three years earlier, Doc Holliday saved the life of then-assistant city marshal Wyatt Earp when he was surrounded by armed, belligerent cowboys—and thus began their lasting and curious friendship. In BROTHERS OF THE GUN: Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and a Reckoning in Tombstone (Dutton; November 11, 2025), the first dual biography of the famed gunfighters, bestselling and award-winning author Mark Lee Gardner shares a colorful and groundbreaking account of the most storied friendship of the American West, with all the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.
Presenter Mark Lee Gardner is a recipient of the Frank Waters Award for Literary Excellence. His bestselling books, many of them award winners, include The Earth Is All That Lasts, Rough Riders, Shot All To Hell, and To Hell on a Fast Horse. An authority on the American West, Mark has appeared on numerous television programs and other media, including the hit Netflix docuseries Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War. His YouTube video for WIRED’s Tech Support, where Mark answers questions from the Internet about the Wild West, has received several million views.
