But before Doc Holliday was a Western legend he was a Southern son, born in the last days before the American Civil War and raised to be a Southern gentleman. His story sweeps from the cotton plantations of Georgia to the cattle country and silver boomtowns of the American West. In Dance with the Devil, the second volume in the trilogy of novels, in the American Wild West, Jesse James and his gang are robbing trains, the Sioux Indians are on the warpath, and John Henry Holliday arrives in Texas as a young man with a troubled past hoping to regain his place as a Southern gentleman. The story races from the gambling halls of Dallas to the saloons of Dodge City and the dangers of the Santa Fe Trail, he finds a new love affair and a new hero to follow – and an old enemy eager for a reckoning. Dance with the Devil is the story of a how a gentleman becomes an outlaw, how an outlaw becomes a lawman, and how a Southern son named John Henry becomes a legend called Doc Holliday.
