- This video is about Doc Holliday's Gravesite In Glenwood Springs, Colorado. We walk the trail to show you how it is. Show you how to get to his grave site memorial and also how to get to Kid Curry's grave. I hope you like this walk in history.
Thank you for taking us on this amazing trek to this lonely cemetery. Most of us will never see things like this if it weren't for people like you. Thank you.
You are very welcome. I'm glad you came along and enjoyed it with me. I appreciate you.
Whatever darknesses there were in you, Doc, you still personified the rare virtues of friendship, loyalty, and courage. I hope so much that you are at peace. Sleep sweet.
Very well said.
Old Doc struggled to breathe, he got the last laugh, so will everyone that climbs up to his resting place.
That is a very good point.
Bravo to you for making such a difficult hike .. there are young people who couldn't make that hike as well as you did !!! Thank you for sharing the history ..I can't imagine hiking that carrying a casket or wood crate ..again thank you 🙂
I sincerely appreciate the great words. You are too kind, but I'm guessing you read done of the comments that did nothing but put me down. This video has many views and fortunately for me, there are many more of you then they're are off the haters. So glad you enjoyed the video.
My recollection is that no one knows exactly where Doc is buried. This is a memorial. Have been to that spot and this brings back memories of spending time in Glenwood Springs. Thank you for documenting the hike and the cemetery.
I appreciate your good words. It seems there is a huge dispute over where he is. I simply look at it this way. We all agree he is dead. He is buried somewhere. This is the place that claims him so it's good enough for me. That is a tough walk up there. Glad you got good memories from the video. That's my goal for the viewer.
@@DannyFyffe Great video! We had heard that he may have actually been buried somewhere in downtown, and that a house was constructed over the actual gravesite. Glenwood Springs - cool place, and very intriguing. I remember the hike up to the cemetery.
@@zjelkof I've not heard that one before and seeing that this cemetery was for paupers, Is have to be skeptical of that story. I could see them burying him at the bottom for the winter as others have said, but we know Doc wound up somewhere.
@@DannyFyffe Yes indeed!
Doc Holiliday...knew he was going to die so he lived life on the edge, he was a real American bad ass, one of my favorite historical people.
You are right. My understanding is he first started getting into gunfights hoping to get killed so he did not have to suffer with consumption which killed his mother in her 30's as well. However, he turned out to be too good at drawing and it never happened.
@@DannyFyffe doc holiday loved a female cousin. She broken his heart many years before his death. She became a nun
@@donaldmcauliffe7653 I recall reading that somewhere. He had Big Nose Kate so he got over her. ;-)
@@DannyFyffe he never got over her he kept letters she wrote him when she left to become a nun. He kept them in safe place
@@donaldmcauliffe7653 Wonder where that place was as he moved a lot. To say he wandered is not even close to his movement in his short life.
Doc Holiday was confined to the Glenwood springs tuberculosis sanitary when he asked his nurse to uncover his feet he looked at them and said "this is funny" and took his last breath, because it was November when he died there was already several feet of snow covering the cemetery so his casket was laid at the bottom of the slope below it along with those of others who died that winter before spring an avalanche occurred that buried these caskets under many feet of rocks and debris the cemetery could not afford the equipment and labor to retrieve and move them so they were left in place!
Pretty much how I heard his grave is unknown
Ernest Clements , I heard same story. Too cold and snow to be buried up that hill. He’s in someones backyard at bottom.
So after the snow melted they didn’t bury the bodies?
No worries Mate , story I heard was too cold and earth frozen at top of hill which is steep. I’ve climbed it. Buried somewhere below. No, doubt back then they would dig up and rebury in cemetery.
Yeah, I wonder how many bars that story traveled thru and how many times it changed.
The way he was breathing during the walk up, thought he might get buried there too !
Speaking for "him" since I am "him" that did the walking and breathing, I have stated it quite a few times I had some major medical issues going on and had just been released from the hospital and made the video shortly after release. I'm sorry you missed the point of the video.
@@DannyFyffe ...at least you know you've got a great microphone on that camera.
@@jh8338 Not on the camera. It is a voice recorder I use to make all my breathing sound better.
@Charlie Hare Not cross at all. Do you misread others a lot?
try hiking uphill at altitude when you’re not acclimated. they sell canned oxygen at gas stations in colorado for the people that pass through.
I plan to visit this site on my next visit to Colorado so thank you for preparing me for that arduous trek.
You are very welcome. Remember that Glenwood Springs is over 5600 feet elevation already and then when you climb this thing, you are much higher. I wish you well and hope you enjoy it up there. I hope you'll return here and tell all of us your thoughts about the trip.
Thank you for posting.
You are very welcome.
If I were buried next to him, I GUARANTEE nobody I know will take that hike to pay respects. It’s really beautiful 🤠
It is a tough hill to climb. If anyone does love you, they would do it. It would be a good exercise plan for most of us. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Actually it is his memorial not his grave site. The actual grave is in the cemetery but the location is unknown.
I visited there in 2018.
Right! In one of the two cemetery fields. I also live in the roaring fork valley.
Man this dude is winded. Didnt think the hike was that hard
@@reddragon9708 what year did doc holiday die. Who paid for his funeral
November 8 1887 (thanks google) I didn't ask Google who paid for the funeral
@@reddragon9708 thank you
@@reddragon9708 is it true doc holiday had no family when he died
Thank you! Interesting !
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so very much. You take me to places I will never be able to go to.
You are very welcome. I'm glad you came along with me and enjoyed it.
I'll be your huckleberry....loved the old west...loved the video......LOVE AND PEACE
So glad it helped to bring a smile to you. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you very kindly, Danny. Thanks to your zoomed-in camera work,..I had the chance to read about Dr. John Henry Holliday.
You are very welcome. I always like it when others find my videos useful and worth a look. I am thrilled with how popular this video has become. Thanks for the view and the comment. I hope I earned your subscription.
Are you from Glenwood Springs? or a different part within Colorado? I know you are an American. Your accent does give it away. I'm just wondering as to where your from.
@@McCaler I live in a far different part of Colorado, but lived most of my life in Texas. So that's what you are hearing. ;-)
Interesting enough, I know this 1 guy who lives in Texas as well. More specifically Bryan. ;-)
@@McCaler He lives in one of the best states in this country.
Looks like you guys got in a good workout on the hike. Thanks for sharing...
It indeed was a hike for me. You would have just ran up and been done, but I took 3 breaks to get to the top, but as you can see, I made it. Thanks for always watching and commenting.
I worked in vail for a few years and my son told me about Doc being buried in Glenwood Springs so I went and visited Docs grave it was an experience I won’t ever forget
Glad you enjoyed it. I certainly did too. Nothing better than a shared experience. Thanks for the memory.
Thank you for the journey
and all the footwork
quite a trek, sir.
Thank you again
You are very welcome. I am glad I got to go and also happy to share it with others like you. I have taken several beatings over this video, but it is worth it when others come along like you who appreciate the effort.
awesome, certainly on my bucket list
So glad you liked it. I love history and historical places.
The climb ends the list
Thanks for making this interesting video.
You are very welcome. I appreciate the kind comment.
Thanks for the video and thank you for taking that hike especially with your health issues. I remember I took that hike with my Mom and Dad when I was a little kid. And I know what you mean about the shortness of breath when you're not used to the thin air like that. I went to Chama N.M. then later to Pagosa Springs and I got real short of breath too. Thanks for the memories. Hope you medical issues have gotten better. I've had 3 or 4 hip and knee replacements since then and I don't think I'd do as good as you. I salute you my friend. Take care of yourself
Stay healthy everyone.
I truly appreciate your very nice words. I have various health issues that for now keep me from even getting out. I am trying to get some health back. But for now, I could not walk 20 feet up that path. So your words are graciously received. I hope you continue to watch some of my videos. Thanks again for your very great words.
@@DannyFyffe you have my sympathy my friend.
@@davidurban6813 I so appreciate you. I wish others would read the comments and stop accusing me of being out of shape. They gotta get old I guess before they'll understand. Have a great night.
@@DannyFyffe you too
I get the same thing. There are just some things that us older people just can't do anymore. But because of physical problems it's hard to do things I'd like to do. I've got to admit I'm a little bit out of shape. My Mom loves to remind me of this. But when I get back to work that should take care of itself.
Thanks for the video
You are very welcome. I thnak you for watching it and hopefully you'll thumb it up and share it.
Can you imagine digging a grave back in those days(1880s-1890s)for someone during winter by hand(shovels,maybe a pick)?They did for"JOHN HENRY DOC HOLIDAY"!Don't know what the temperature was but what I've read,it was pretty darn cold!
I certainly can't. The hardship of burying those in the Winter would have been a task I could not imagine. Thanks for adding a valuable thought to the video.
Ty for making this video. I get to see Doc Holiday grave, wow!! I wish I could go there some day. Ty so much for sharing for the ones like me that can’t make it there personally!
You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
@Danny Fyffe I certainly did!!
Wow! Love history! Your country is lovely! Hope i can visit in person and see the historical places. Watching from the Philippines!
I appreciate you watching and glad you like the video. I too hope you can come and see the country in the future. Just note this is a very big country. So find out what you want to see and try to just pick a section to see unless you have a year and many thousands of dollars to spend. I hope you have subscribed to my channel as I have a couple of sightseeing videos coming up.
@@DannyFyffe wow that's lots of dollars to spend? Are the earp's buried in the same cemetery?
No. They are scattered around California. I know they took Morgan there when he was murdered in Tombstone. I think Wyatt is in Colma, Ca. Virgil is in Portland, OR. So they are scattered all about.
Hey Danny, It looks like you and I have a lot in common. I love your videos. Are you in living in Colorado. I am in Boulder County. You do an amazing job on your channel. Hugs CM
Why thank you. We moved to Colorado nearly 3 years ago now. So happy to hear you like my channel. If I had 10,000 more like you, it would be successful. 🤩 If you have any suggestions for videos, I'd love to hear it. Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you for sharing this. Doc Holiday should’ve done a GoFundMe page to help finance his gravestone. Oh wait a minute!... LOL!
It’s too bad someone didn’t take the initiative back in 1940, or before, to preserve the sight of Doc and Kid Curry’s graves. That’s incredible!
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. He actually did many gofundme campaigns. They were done in gambling houses and saloons throughout his years. ;-)
Danny Fyffe I know he was a big gambler, and we won a lot of money doing it, but I think Big Nose Kate took most of his money. That’s just a guess on my part.
@@alan30189 He lived in hotels, drank most of it up and yep, he had a thing for crazy women too. ;-) I know he died completely broke. It was a very sad ending to a very short life.
Thanks
You ok man?? Lol sounded like it was hell going there. Actually started to trigger my anxiety listening to your breathing. I am glad you made it out ok, and thanks for the video and info. Definitely not wasted, totally has my interest.
Ive climbed that hill, not easy. Remember, altitude!
Thank you.....
You are very welcome sir.
Rest in peace Doc. I you made our name known around the word!
It will always be known for sure.
Interesting video, that would be quite a climb carrying a coffin, even if it was on a wagon pulled by horses or mules.
I felt sorry for your gasping, I think I would have been fighting for breath too. Thanks for uploading and I hope you are in better health now.
I appreciate your kindness and great thought. I am getting some better, but I have issues, not fat at all, but serious issues that cause that gasping. So I seriously appreciate your good words of encouragement. I always meant for this video to be about Doc and where he at least supposedly is. I never wanted to be a part of this other than bringing to everyone. It sadly never turned out that way. So again, I truly appreciate you.
I went here in 1985 it was a long steep walk.but worth it.ive got pictures of these.and it was a long ride from Arkansas
I agree with everything you said. That hill is no joke to get up. It is so worth it however. I appreciate you sharing your memories.
No easy access, can't imagine carrying an occupied coffin a half mile to the burial site...wow, coffin weighed more than Doc did more than likely. Thanks for the video.
Some have said they used horses or mules and wagons. I hope that was true because you wouldn't be right. That would have been a tough duty. Glad you liked it. Thanks for your wonderful comment.
He should have one saying on his grave..
“Say When”
You done a great documentary on doc holiday all that work paid off
I appreciate your very good words and for watching the video. It has become popular so it was very much worth the hard walk. Thanks again.
I think i'm going to finally visit this gravesite next month
I hope my video had an influencer on your decision to visit. That would be cool if so. Take care going up that hill.
Wow that was a lot of work burying your kin folk in that cemetery 😳, thank you for sharing 🤙🌺
Yes it was. I know just walking up it was hard. So to carry a casket, I'm sure they did it with mules. I'm glad you liked and appreciated the video.
3:59 That tree with ribbons is symbolic to a person who lives down below the trail and is a cancer surviver. Its called Annie's Wishing Tree on Facebook. This person always had a thing for that tree since they was younger and started walking the trail after their cancer treatment. It started with her writing wishes on the ribbons and tying them to the tree. This person started volunteering at the Children's hospital and the kids started giving her ribbons with their wishes so she could tie them to the tree.
Now that is great info to have. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I hope others can learn about this too from your good explanation.
Thanks. I recently hiked this trail and was curious about the tree. Thankfully I was able to find this story and share it. Its inspirational for sure.
Just as I hoped it would help others, you show it already did. Thanks for the confirmation.
I went there last year and left a ribbon i had no idea why but i did it. Love the story thanks for sharing
Well wherever the actual gravesite is located within Potters it appears quite some effort to transport Doc's remains and the burial casket etc. up that narrow lengthy trail. It does not look possible by wagon so I presume Docs remains and burial casket were transported on horseback ???
Been there to that cemetery. It's on top of a frickin mountain. 777
Quite interesting Danny.
Glad you thought so too. I have wanted to visit there for years. Finally did it. Please share it if you haven't. I am actively trying to build my channel now that I am post heart attack. Thanks for watching Mike.
I guess I've always had a fascination about the 'wild west' and what is really true. Definitely NOT as glamorous as the movies made life there seem to be. I paused the video several times so I could read what was on the signs. Kudos on your tenacious fortitude in climbing up those steep trails :-) You even made me tired just watching and listening! LOL Be safe my friend and keep putting one foot ahead of the other.
MrGrunthunter's Adventures I too am always fascinated to what happened to these people who were famous or infamous. Doc has always been a fascinating character. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like putting out videos that most will never think of. Sorry I wore you out on that hill. 😂
Doc Holliday Is My 4 5 or 6 Greatest Uncle
May I ask why he's not your most favorite? ;-)
This is cool
I truly appreciate that.
Strange I was always told John Holliday's body was shipped back home to Georgia. So what's this ?
Just because some spread rumors does not make them true. Quite a few continually speculate on that, but they never offer proof.
Doc is my favorite. Like to go there
He died so young. I think a lot of his life was sad.I hope you can go and see it for sure. It has a great view of the city.
Those are some good-looking wooden fences.
Yes they are. Glad you enjoyed the fence.
Story goes that Doc died during a winter storm, and could not be carried up to the cemetery, so they buried him at the bottom of the hill with hopes to come back in spring and move him up there...but come spring, they couldn't remember exactly where they buried him...and he's still there...somewhere.
You are actually the 2nd person who has stated that here in the comments. I don't personally believe it, but I can't prove it either way so who can say.
I dont understand how the person or ppl who buried doc Holliday could forget where they buried him? Lol i mean looks like they woulda marked grave with something js
Very Good!.. 503
Thanks for liking it.

I appreciate you watching and letting me know that.
"I'm your huckleberry"
Looks like some of Colorado's finest vegetation there don
then you turn and out of the shadows and into the light Doc Holiday emerges smoking a cigarette
Got to jump into this, sorry. The old style name of
handle on coffins, for the coffin bearers, is call Huckle. Fo the six coffin Paul bearers. If you know what I mean. All misquoted and mis understood:
the line was I will be your huckle bearer, one who carries the coffin of the dead person.
The movie cliche is not Huckelberry. It is historically Huckle Bearer, for the funeral. And that puts into the right context in the movie scene as a threat of death for the Tombstone fight challenge.
I have never heard that. Do you have any sources from history who have said this? Bob Boze Bell said it was Huckleberry which roughly today is, I'll be your dance partner. Looking forward to hear more.
He may or may not be buried there . The cemetery has been washed by cloud bursts many times .
I've said the same thing that he may be there, but the fact is, he's somewhere so there is as good a place as any.
SO WHY are the ribbons on the tree?????????????
Back in the day.
Been there with Misty.
She's always the best to go there with.
👍🇺🇸❤
That is not his real grave..Dont lnow where he is. Died in.winter, put him.at base of the hill with the intent of reburial.when it got warmer..Never did.
It seems there are numerous conspiracies about his burial. The most simple is usually the truth. He was buried where he died is the simplest. I am not a believer in conspiracies. You see, conspiracies by nature are secret. Yet everyone who believes in a conspiracy seems to know every detail that no one else alive at that time knew. So it is usually hype, innuendo, and a smattering of reality to make it all plausible. It is funny how many care about where he is buried. We can agree he is dead and buried. Colorado is as good a place as any.
@@DannyFyffe Doc Holiday didn't die of TB... he survived an lived a long life. He joined WWI as an old Captain in the Navy. He steer his ship toward the north German coast and leaped in the sea and swam ashore armed with only two six shooters. He killed hundreds of Germans as he picked them off one by one, reloading like a maniac. Then, he came across a young German soldier by the name of Adolf Hitler. Adolf was wearing his lugar pistol on his side challenged him to a duel... they walked up close and began circling, walking backwards... and Val Kilmer, I mean Doc Holiday said "say when"... Adolf said in German "your flies open"... doc looked down and Adolf pulled his lugar and shot doc in the temple. Doc stumbled around and Adolf began yelling... "you're no daisy!" Doc fell dead right there in North Germany... killed by none other than Adolf Hitler. That happened... it's the truth.
@@NickCager I certainly hadn't heard that one. You may be in to something there.
Holy Vomitica. Black drink is made from it.. The berries you saw.
I don't even know what "black drink" is so that's the first I've heard of that.
All of the berry comments I've seen so far are incorrect, they are bush honeysuckle berries and very distinctive in that they grow paired like that.
I admit I have not heard that one. I hope others chime in.
Too bad they’re not huckleberries!
@@indianagrandmary1298 It would be quite apropos if they were. ;-)
36!!.....so young!
Yes he was. Mostly lived a useless life. His story is sad.
Could not hear what was that tree?
It was a memorial tree. Something that you can put on a ribbon to remember a dead person.
Danny Fyffe Thanks awesome video. Keep up the good work
You are very welcome. If you haven't, I hope you subscribe and recommend my channel to your family and friends. Thanks for commenting.
I think the surprise was giving away in the title of the video.
It was, but I made the video before I created the title so it was a surprise then and for the non-readers, it was still a surprise. ;-)
my uncle and i lived on that same small mountain hes burried on , it was undeveloped then and my uncle took me to docs grave on foot it was a 1 hr hike . its pretty cool when you can leave out of your back door already on that mountain and see something still undeveloped back in 1982 with only army surplus gear hoping the mountain lions dont get us. i long to return to glenwood again someday its probably the best town in america with hot springs hotel denver and sunlight ski resort all whithin a valley.
Thank you for sharing that history. I hope you do get to return and soon. It is stories like yours that makes memories and makes them alive for others like me. I appreciate you sharing so freely. I too need to discover more of that town. I too hope to go back at some point.
@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 Less than 4 months before I made this video, I had surgery that I wasn't supposed to live through. It has had some negative effects on me. I am far better now, but that is why I was breathing heavy.
@@DannyFyffe I understand that. Im just messing with you. Glad you are feeling betrer.
@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 Thanks. When you think you are gonna die, you want to do the things you really want to. I still have some rough breathing but not like that. It's good to be better.
@@DannyFyffe I have always wanted to visit Doc Holliday's grave. It sucks that we don't know exactly which grave it is. So in a sense we really don't get to see him. But guess it's cool knowing he's around there somewhere that were in the same vicinity as him. I have studied Tombstone and the old west so much throughout my life I'm intrigued. I want to visit Wyatte Earps grave in California and Morgans grave. I have been to Pella Iowa and in the large bording house that wyatte geew up in
Its the house he lived in when he ran away from home to try and join the civil war until his dad caught him. I used to live in iowa just 45 minutes away from that house. I have been to Deadwood, South dakota and saw Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and Sheriff Seth Bullocks grave. II highly recommend you visit there. Deadwood is so cool and you actually get to stand by Wild Bill Hickok's grave and Calamity Jane and Sheriff Seth Bullock. Thier real graves. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Deadwood movie. The TV series on HBO was amazing.
This isn't his actual final resting place. He's family on my mom's side and I remember when I was a little kid going to his burial site , when my great grandmother died she had the death certificate and a piece of paper with the directions to the plot He's buried among other family memebers
I have had a number of commenters post that he isn't there. When I ask for proof, all vanish. The newspaper of the day says he is there. People in that era say he is there. There seems to be no record of him being moved to Georgia or anywhere. If you have rock solid proof of this, I'd love to see it. We can certainly agree that he lived and he died there in Colorado. Hope you otherwise enjoyed the video.
@@DannyFyffe he's in Georgia on a family plot ..
@@theviper6602 Can you show actual proof of that? If he is, I'd love to know it. Just saying so is the same as me saying he's in Honduras.
Doc Holiday,s remains were taken back Griffin, Georgia where his parents are buried 1892
You are probably number 6 or more to say that, but no one has ever shown actual proof for that. If you have any, I'd love to see it.
It’s just a memorial. I heard that the day he was buried, they couldn’t get up the hill because of a snowstorm the day before. So, they buried his body at the bottom of the hill, intending to re-bury it at a later date at the top of the hill. But that never happened.
It would be nice to know what really happened.
Danny Fyffe If I come across the video I heard that on, I will forward it to you to watch. I’ll try to find it. Cheers!
Danny Fyffe - Here’s that documentary. At 40:54 is where they start talking about his burial:

Dudes readin like the micro machine man
Don't even know who that is, but glad you watched. ;-)
Is it true Wyatt didn't know about Doc's passing until 2 months after he died and Doc died alone in he's bed so the ending scene in tombstone wasn't true then
I can't imagine Hollywood would lie or anything. ;-)
Wyatt saw Doc for the last time in Colorado. From Doc's appearance, Wyatt knew Doc didn't have long to live. The end of the movie "Tombstone" is partially true with some fiction added, probably for dramatic purposes. Wyatt was not there the day Doc passed. However, it is true that Doc asked for a shot of whiskey, then looked at his feet and said "this is funny" and died.
So, Doc Holiday's grave is unknown?
Most say that's true. I happen to know he is buried somewhere.
@@DannyFyffe Colorado has been screwing things up ever since... the guy was only a major historical figure!
don't know what those are either they are growing my yard.used to live here and stood in front of this grave 1987
Wow. 31 years ago. I hope it was as good as you recall.
Does anyone know if Wyatt himself attended the funeral of Doc?
Also....had to be a strenuous climb/walk for the pallbearers!!!!
I have never heard that he did so I'd say no.
He was not there. They parted ways in Gunnison. And before that were in a fight.
"ill be your huckleberry"
I saw a documentary where it was said he never said that. The claim was the saying did not come about until after he was dead. Whether it is true or not, it is still a cool line. ;-)

I believe those are Hollie berries
Thanks for your contribution. A few people had said several different types so I don't feel alone in not knowing what they really are. Thanks for watching.

I knew that much.
No one knows where his body is now but they should finds it I think
I would guess he is so badly decomposed, no one would know if it was him or not.

*Rest In Peace Val Kilmer*
Your the 2nd one who has mentioned Val Kilmer. So you are not alone in thinking he was a better Doc than Doc. 😎
Diabolical Saiyan Val Kilmer is still alive
@@conniecrawford5231 I know he is it's a joke cause to me he was the real doc Holliday
I'm pretty sure Doc is buried in Valdosta,Ga........next to his dad........
A lot of people have said that, but no one has ever shown any documentation to prove that. He died in Glenwood Springs, no one disputes that. So it would be easiest back then to bury him there. That makes sense to me
John henry is buried in Griffin Georgia next to his father.
I've had quite a few say that, but I have asked for documentation from everyone and not one has shown any. Can you? OTOH, the paper of the day documented Doc being buried in Colorado so as long as that is not successfully documented, I can't see any reason to believe he's in Georgia.
@@DannyFyffe no document just family lore. My family is from there, my great grandfather told me he watched as the buried him there. My last name is Griffin and my great grandfather had never lied to me. He had no reason to lie about it.
Ain't that a DAISY!
I'm you huckleberry. 😉
Those are Huckleberries, sorry could not resist , no those are poisonous mountain berries.
Very good reply. ;-) That is why I don't eat what I don't know. I could be up there beside Doc and I just don't need that. ;-)
Danny Fyffe Thank you for your response I am very particular about accuracy, I check myself and facts as well, well Lo and behold Mountain Ash Berries are a delicious treat, they are NOT poisonous. I was taught that growing up but it’s not true. Look up how to prepare Mountain Ash Berries, they are ok to eat raw as well. I learned something today. So google them and look them up on UA-cam. Sorry for the Misinformation. Loved the video. Johnny Ringo was also buried in a beautiful spot.
@@Saidakine If you learned something then I learned twice as much. I appreciate you educating you then me. That is how we learn. I will have to try and run into Ringo's grave at some point. I think he is in Arizona.
Danny Fyffe Ringo’s grave is on private property near where he was killed but the land owner allows visits .
It was my understanding that Doc was buried at the base of the hill because a wagon couldn't get up the hill due to snow.
Many have commented similar things. I've even said he's buried in someone's backyard. No one knows the truth though since it seems undocumented which is a shame.
Ok
alright
I was their in 94. 12 year old kid. I remember nothing put playing cards and condoms on the grave site. Lmao
Hopefully the video showed you a better side.
Definitely did
Heads up folks holliday isn't buried in any cemetary the ground was frozen in December when he died
Holliday was buried in a field outside of glenwood it was intended that holliday be moved to the cemetery
When the ground thawed but when
Spring came his grave wasn't found again the area outside of town where holliday is buried is now a sub division
It is a very real possibility that
John (doc) henry holiday is buried in someone's yard
If you read thru the comments, many have their own theories of where he is, but none have given any proof. So I say he is dead, he has to be buried somewhere and there is where it says he is so that's good enough for me.
@@DannyFyffe I get putting up a memorial for someone important
To history but let's face reality
Doc holiday while he is well known because Of the ok corral and Wyatt earp he isn't important to history
It is my opinion that the memorial marker only exists because of the potential for a few tourist dollars
And that I strongly disagree with
@@GeorgiaRidgerunner I do face reality. I think we agree Doc is dead. I think we agree he is buried. They say it is there. I've seen no other factual based claim, only speculation.
Looks like gooseberries to me.
He's not there. Storm kept the hearse and mourners from climbing the hill. His family may have sneaked him back to Georgia.
Many have said he is not there. I have asked for proof and no one has brought any. So that tells me, whatever is left of him is indeed there somewhere.
@@DannyFyffewhetever doc rests and I hope he's in Georgia next to his father I want doc to have peace. Docs life was hardly what you saw in Tombstone. It wasn't glamorous or exciting.but probably seedy somewhat sordid and often boom or flush. Killer had all those great wisecracks but after nearly.six decades of researching the Earp's and Doc I Frankly think Quaid got closer to the truth of Doc. He didn't walk around saying huckleberry every two minutes and he died alone in a hotel not as tb ward. Wyatt ended their friendship because Doc openly disapproved if Wyatt's wife being Jewish! Doc died alone in a coma most likely. I am not sure who if anyone heard his last words.
@@larry1824 They say a nurse heard his last words. I know he tried his hand at dentistry several times, but due to his bad cough due to tuberculous, he could not practice long and so he kept falling into gambling and drinking.
And that pic isn’t even Doc. You’d think the cemetery where he’s supposedly interred would know that 🤦🏻♂️
At least they know he's in that cemetery and not 6 or 7 states away.
Jesus loves you
Silver trimes 3 cent peice 2.5 dollars
The berries are actually Choke Cherries
I've had several say that. The name alone scares me. 😁 Thanks for the confirmation.
Water dude water.
Less than 4 months before I made this video, I had surgery that I wasn't supposed to live through. It has had some negative effects on me. I am far better now, but that is why I was breathing heavy, not a lack of water.
But Doc isn't actually there.....
Quite a few commenters have said that, but they give no proof of that. Just their word. I say he is there so that makes us equally right or wrong.
I watched a documentary saying he was buried right at the bottom probably around some 1s garden now dunno how much of that is true tho
@@thetruth-bs7jx Only a few people know and they are all dead so I don't think anyone knows for sure, but folks love to speculate and dabble in conspiracies. This video has taught me that.
@@thetruth-bs7jx Absolutely true.
The strain was more than he could bare
We all have that point that is coming for us as well.
Not sure, but those berries look like Buffalo berries.
Dude you didn’t even show the inscription on the Doc’s headstone?
Dude, you didn't watch the video?
@@DannyFyffe Thank you, ok you did, but you lost me at the ‘Is he - Isn’t he’ sign.
I did find the ribbon tree boring..
@@nagolhayze9366 I will refund every penny you paid me directly. It's odd how many thousands have enjoyed the video.
@@DannyFyffe no need for a refund, I did watch it again. Never said it was unenjoyable ... and I have checked out some of your other UA-cam videos. So that’s a positive for me. Thank you.
Ps.
Like the Coming King sculpture garden especially.
@@nagolhayze9366 I am very happy you are enjoying some of my other videos. I have way over 1,000 videos so that should keep you busy. They have people at the Coming King sculpture garden who talk to you about filming. You can do it, but they aren't thrilled with it.
Those are dingle berries! Dont eat them!
I've been told different names, but I never tried them and glad I didn't. Thanks for the comment.
I'm sure he's not from that altitude. Thin air to him.
I've explained it numbers times. But I'm wonder if you got anything good from the video?
@@DannyFyffe Yes I enjoyed it glad you shared it. I'm from Texas and never been to Colorado. Never had much of a reason before. Now I may.
@@wisdog Glad it helped. I lived in Texas for well over 2 decades. I've lived in Colorado for over 3 years now. We were in the Dallas area. How about you?
@@DannyFyffe 30 minutes east of Dallas. Terrell
@@wisdog At least you are out of the metroplex. That is a benefit all to itself.
