Painless Parker, A National Renegade's Fight to Make Advertising "Ethical". Arden Christen and Peter Pronych. 429 pages, 90 illustrations

Painless Parker fought for the little person. He dared to challenge the dental establishment with his flamboyant and blatant advertising. Was he a dental renegade, a charlatan, a quack, or the Henry Ford of Dentisty? Arden Christen and Peter Pronych narrate his fascinating story, based, in part, on the vivid recollections from Parker's memories and diaries. In this book, many of Parker's words and aphorisms are used to trace his active and controversial life from New Brunswick, Canada, to Brooklyn, New York, to California from 1872-1952.

Doc Holliday: A Family Portrait
by Karen Holliday Tanner, University of Oklahoma Press 1998
51 illustrations, 10 maps, 3 charts, 368 pages
ISBN: 0-8061-3036-9
Foreword by Robert K. DeArment

John H. Holliday, D.D.S., better known as Doc Holliday, has become a legendary figure in the history of the American West. In Doc Holliday: A Family Portrait, Karen Holliday Tanner reveals the real man behind the legend. Shedding light on Holliday's early years, in a prominent Georgia family during the Civil War and the Reconstruction, she examines the elements that shaped his destiny: his birth defect, the death of his mother and estrangement from his father, and the diagnosis of tuberculosis, which led to his journey west.

The influence of Holliday's genteel upbringing never disappeared, but it was increasingly overshadowed by his emerging western personality. Holliday himself nurtured his image as a frontier gambler and gunman. Using previously undisclosed family documents and reminiscences as well as other primary sources, Tanner documents the true story of Doc's friendship with the Earp brothers and his run-ins with the law, including the climactic shootout at the O.K. Corral and its aftermath.

This first authoritative biography of Doc Holliday will appeal both to historians of the old West and to general readers who are interested in his poignant story.
