Death Spot of Doc Holliday

Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Recognizing the appeal of Glenwood Springs' most famous dead celebrity, the downtown Summit Canyon Mountaineering store has stenciled onto the bottom of each of its front doors: "Doc Holliday died here, November 8, 1887." It's true. The Hotel Glenwood stood on the spot, and that's where Holliday -- the hard-drinking gambler who had survived the gunfight at the O.K. Corral with only a little scratch -- died in bed at age 36 (he had tuberculosis, among other ailments). A plaque on the outside wall of the store describes the hotel (which burned down in 1945) and Holliday's brief time there.
