Context:

During a discussion about the phrase 'I'll be your Huckleberry' from the movie Tombstone, it's mentioned that the screenwriter Kevin Jarre took the phrase directly from this 1927 book. Burns wrote the scene: 'I'm your huckleberry, Ringo,' replied the cheerful doctor. 'That's just my game.' Wyatt Earp expert Jeff Morey recommended Jarre include the phrase in the screenplay.
