It's taken from historical fiction, in a context where "I'm your huckleberry" -- "I'm game", "I'm up for it", "I'm your guy" -- makes far more sense. Here's my handkerchief. Take hold. Yes I understand that, but Burns was also one of the first to use huckleberry, before that it only showed up in one other historical writing in which is is clear what Huckleberry is interpreted as that does not predate his Tombstone work by much about 30 years IIRC.
I also know that there is no direct quote of someone saying Doc Holiday said this, but Burns interviewed Earp as well as a lot of the residents of Cochise County. The first time he says the phrase is when Ringo confronts Wyatt Earp in the street. Today Tombstone offers a glimpse into the past with attractions such as museums, tours on foot, by stagecoach or trolley, underground mine experiences, paranormal adventures, shopping, dining and of course gunfight reenactments!

I am assuming that the huckleberry of the genus Vaccinium which is more plentiful in the Northwest and places like Montana, is not the huckleberry with which we are concerned.
These are especially plentiful in the Southeast, which makes Georgia part of their territory. Doc Holiday was from Georgia. If this idiom arose in the southeast and the southern United States, this may all make sense. Different plants that come from an entirely different genus but which share the same name can be very confusing!
The simple answer to this popular question is no. Again, the answer to this question is no. Some time after the release of the movie, it was suggested that not only did the actor say the term huckle bearer in the movie but that this was actually the true or original idiom.
This myth may have come from a single blog post that subsequently influenced even writers of books on the subject. It is true that the handles of coffins used to be called huckles and that therefore a pallbearer might be called a huckle bearer. We must be careful to differentiate between rational explanation and historical evidence as rational explanation creates what is often termed folk etymology colloquially…linguists have stricter definition.
