Where & what is BIG NOSE KATE'S SALOON anyway?

Big Nose Kate's Saloon, in Tombstone, AZ, was once the Grand Hotel, the original building built in 1881. Among the famous and infamous guests were Lily Langtree, Eddie Foy, The Earps and Doc Holliday, The Clantons, and The McLaurys. On October 25, 1881, the night before the Gunfight at the OK Corral, the Clantons and the McLaurys were guests here. This was the place to stay! For more fascinating Tombstone history go to ...Tombstone History.

  Who the heck was BIG NOSE KATE?...

Big Nose Kate (seated in photo right with sister) is believed to have been the first prostitute in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. However, her biggest claim to fame was the fact that she was also Doc Holliday's girlfriend. Kate had saved Holliday from the hangman in Fort Griffin, Texas, by breaking him out of jail. For this, Doc was eternally grateful, and the two traveled the West making money the best they could: Doc with his gambling, and Kate, well, with her womanly charms. For insight into this era go to... ...History of Big Nose Kate, The Shady Ladies and the 1880's.
