I’ll be your Huckleberry

I’ll be your Huckleberry. Phrase used in the film Tombstone and quote from very early book about Doc Holiday. This term came from the fact early law enforcement officers were called Huckleberries, this due to the fact that the huckleberry was used to dye their coats. The term Bluecoats is still with us today. Older people can remember a cartoon about old west sheriff Huckleberry Hound. When Doc confronted Johnny Ringo he essentially was saying “I’ll be your lawman”. When he and Ringo meet again he makes the statement and says “now it’s official” showing Ringo the badge Wyatt gave him.

From the movie Tombstone, I’ll be your Huckleberry
