Dr. Goodfellow – Bullets, Blood, and the Gunfighters' Famous Surgeon

A Historical Fiction Novel

By: Manuela Schneider, EK-2 Publishing

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When gunfire erupts in Tombstone and disaster strikes the frontier, one doctor fights to save lives in the middle of chaos.

In the lawless streets of Tombstone, Arizona Territory, Dr. George E. Goodfellow becomes the surgeon at the center of history. Known as the Earps’ doctor, he treats the aftermath of the deadly O.K. Corral shootout, saves Virgil Earp’s shattered arm, and faces the tragic night he cannot prevent Morgan Earp´s death.
But Goodfellow is more than a footnote in the Wild West. As a pioneering frontier physician, he studies bullet wounds, investigates how silk may slow bullets, travels to Sonora to aid earthquake victims, and later builds a hospital in Tucson, where he performs high-risk operations far ahead of his time.

This gripping historical fiction novel blends true Old West history, medical innovation, and human drama. Behind the brilliant doctor is a man marked by grief—a widower, a father, and a survivor battling personal loss while towns burn, mines fail, and the frontier changes forever.

Written by Manuela Schneider, an expert in Tombstone history and the Arizona silver boom, this powerful story brings one of the West’s most fascinating real-life figures to the page in vivid, cinematic detail. The story is also being adapted into a feature film premiering in Fall 2026.

Perfect for readers of historical fiction, Western history, Tombstone legends, Wyatt Earp-era drama, and true-life frontier medicine.
