One Foot in the Grave

By the time Holliday made his way to Glenwood Springs, he was 36 and in the final stages of tuberculosis. Unfortunately, the geothermal springs were of no use to him at this stage in his illness. Though he only resided in the hot springs town a short time, Holliday did what he did best: dealing faro at local saloons along Seventh Street while he was able. No longer at the top of his game, Holliday only lasted a few months at the tables; he was constantly coughing and unsteady on his legs.

Poor guy. We all but wiped it out in the US, except for the illegals bringing it in.

My husband’s uncle had it. He had scrammed to Texas for awhile in the 80s, maybe that is where he picked it up.
