Doc Holliday at the Library

There was a "Doctor" in the house on Thursday. Doc Holliday, that is.

The library presented its final "Lunch in the Library" program for the semester with a portrayal of John Henry "Doc" Holliday.

Marc Ferguson, a living historian, portrayed the legendary Wild West gunslinger.

The audience was treated to Ferguson's take on Holliday. Dressed as the so-called "Deadly Dentist," Ferguson educated the audience on Holiday's history, affirming truths and dispelling myths.

Here are some pictures of Marc Ferguson as Doc Holliday at the library.
