@laughingdragon2 @histories_arch Actually it was the leading cause of death into the early 1900s

In those days every person had TB but most people beat it. But some people couldn't beat it and people wouldn't marry into your family if you had that tendency to not fight off tuberculosis. I'm 70 and my generation is the first generation in which most of the people did not show scars from tuberculosis on their lungs.

This is the last known photo of Old West legend Doc Holliday, a man whose life reads like a gripping novel full of grit, gunfire, and haunted shadows. In this rare and silent portrait, you sense the final act of a figure who was as feared as he was fascinating. Holliday, the notorious gambler, deadly gunfighter, and reluctant dentist, stared down the relentless advance of tuberculosis, a disease that slowly drained the fire from his body but never from his spirit. What thoughts lingered behind his tired eyes? Was it memories of wild shootouts, loyalty to friends like Wyatt Earp, or the weight of a destiny he couldn’t escape? Doc Holliday’s story was one of contradictions—educated yet outlawed, charming yet deadly, fragile yet fiercely defiant. He lived fast, a man dancing on the razor’s edge between life and death, fame and infamy. This image captures more than a face; it captures a moment frozen between the roaring chaos of the frontier and the creeping silence of his final days. Every wrinkle and shadow whispers stories of gunfights fought, debts settled with cards and guns, and a life that burned too bright to be forgotten. Looking closely, you can’t help but wonder about the man behind the legend—what dreams haunted him when no one watched, what regrets flickered in his fading strength, and what drove him to live so boldly despite knowing the end was near. This final photograph invites us not just to remember Doc Holliday as a historical figure, but to peer into the soul of a man who, even in decline, embodied the wild, restless spirit of the American West. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

@larry_irving @NUFBFamily @NorthwesternU We will be there!

Fitzsimon’s Temple Bar @NUFBFamily and @NorthwesternU home away from home in Dublin the next few days. #GoCats!

@WildcatReport @BrandonJoseph_1 @NUFBFamily I think his explanation is relatively lame. Northwestern puts two players in the first round of the NFL draft. One who is potentially rookie of the year. They didn’t have to transfer out in order to achieve that goal. This still doesn’t make much sense.

Here's the story Northwestern fans have been waiting for. I talked to @BrandonJoseph_1 about the reasons he left @NUFBFamily. His message to Wildcat fans: "I'm sorry." northwestern.rivals.com/news/exclusive…
