## Resource

Did Doc Holliday say, “I’m your huckleberry” or “I’m your huckle bearer?” Or is the whole debate built on nothing more than an internet myth? Join me today as we break down the famous line from Tombstone to hopefully separate fact from fiction. We’ll examine the original Tombstone script written by Kevin Jarre, Val Kilmer’s 2020 memoir I’m Your Huckleberry, and Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest by Walter Noble Burns. We also examine 19th-century newspaper evidence showing that “I’m your huckleberry” was indeed a real idiom.
