Perry Mallon, The Conman who Arrested Doc Holliday

0/5 ( ratings)

In May, 1882 "Doc" Holliday had fled murder charges in Arizona and had relocated to Denver seeking sanctuary. His plan came undone thanks to a small-time conman, named Perry Mallon, who stepped from the shadows on a Denver street and arrested "Doc." The Denver press went wild, and Perry Mallon told several sensational and false stories about "Doc" to justify his arrest. These outrageous stories were then reprinted nation-wide and, as a result, "Doc" became a legendary figure in his own life-time. Holliday was lodged in jail, while Arizona authorities tried to extradite him from Colorado.

Perry Mallon was a mystery-man in Denver, but research shows he had a history of sly and deceptive behavior. Mallon's early life, and the long criminal history that set him on a collision course with John Henry "Doc" Holliday are fully exposed in this detailed biography of the conman. Peter Brand uses primary source documents, family records and contemporary newspaper accounts to unveil a truly sinister character who helped make "Doc" Holliday famous in his own life-time.
