Wild Bill Hickok
Life and Career
Early life
Hickok was in Homer, Illinois born (what is now Troy Grove) to 27 May 1837. His birthplace is now the Wild Bill Hickok Memorial, a listed site under the supervision of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. While he was growing up was his father's farm one of the stops on the Underground Railroad, and he learned his shooting skills protecting the farm with his father from slave catcher. Hickok was a good shot from a very young age and locally recognized as an excellent marksman with a pistol.
In 1855, at the age of 18, moved to Kansas Territory Hickok after a fight with Charles Hudson, which resulted in both cases in a channel. He mistakenly thinks Hudson killed, fled Hickok and joined General Jim Lane's Vigilante "Free State Army" (The red legs), where he met 12-year-old William Cody, later known as "Buffalo Bill, who was at that time was a scout for Johnston's army.
Because of its "sweeping nose and protruding upper lip," Hickok nicknamed "Duck Bill". In 1861, after a mustache grow McCanles incident began, he calls himself Wild Bill. Despite all the photographs, he shows Hickok had dark hair, confirm all contemporary descriptions he was indeed golden blonde. Shades of red in her hair came out in early wet and dry plate photography black.
For unknown reasons, the name used Hickok William Hickok from the year 1858 and then William Haycock during the Civil War. Arrested as Haycock in 1865, he again then his real name of James Hickok. Interestingly, continued to use most of the newspapers named William Haycock, despite referring to when "Wild Bill" and 1869 military Files after 1865, right in his name, while recognizing he was also known as Haycock.
Sergeant
In 1857, Hickok claimed a 160-acre (65 hectare) area in Johnson County, Kansas (now in Lenexa). On 22 March 1858, he was one of the first four police officers of Monticello Township, Kansas elected. In 1859 he joined the Russell, Waddell, and Majors freight company called the Pony Express. The following year, was seriously injured by a bear and the Rock Creek Station in Nebraska (which recently bought the company from David McCanles) work as a stable hand as he recovers. In 1861 he was involved in a deadly Exchange of fire with the McCanles Gang at Rock Creek Station after 40-year-old David McCanles, his 12-year-old son (William) Monroe McCanles, and two servants, James Woods and James Gordon, at the station office called to demand the payment of a second installment due on the property, an event that is still the subject of much debate. David McCanles "Called" Wild Bill by the Station House. Wild Bill were on the street, drew his .36 caliber immediately Navy SA revolvers, and a 75-yard stand-off distance, fired a single shot in McCanles's chest, killing him instantly (Ref. Am. Handgunner). Hickok and his accomplices, the station manager Horace Wellman, his wife, and a Employees, JW Brink, were tried, but judged to have acted in self-defense. According to Joseph G. Rosa, a Hickok biographer, the shot that like the old from the McCanles House came, invented a story Wild Bill's friends, the "heat" to keep both the legal and McCanles "extended family from Wild Bill (extended generation Member). It remains unclear who actually fired them. Rosa suggestions that Wellman had far more support from a motive to kill McCanles, by a belief McCanles son own account. There were also women in the house, armed possibly with shotguns. McCanles was the first man killed Hickok was said to have a fight. On several occasions later, Hickok confronted and killed several men in the battle alone.
Civil War and Scouting
When civil war broke out in April 1861, signed on as a truck driver Hickok for the Union Army in Sedalia, Missouri, and by the end of the year he was a wagon master. In September In 1862 he was dismissed for undisclosed reasons, and there is no record of his whereabouts until late 1863, when he spoke of the Provost Marshal of South-West Missouri was employed as a member of the Springfield Police. It has been speculated that during the "missing year," Hickok may be a spy in the southern area have been in use.
Hickok duties as a police officer were often banal and drink included counting the number of troops in uniform during in service, check hotel liquor licenses and to facilitate tracking down individuals in the debt repayment of the Union. In 1864, Hickok and other detectives had not been paid for some time, and Hickok either resigned or been reassigned, when he was hired as a scout by General John B. Sanborn at five dollars per Day plus a horse and equipment. In June 1865, Hickok was mustered out and his time spent in and around Springfield gambling.
Lawman and gunfighter reputation
Hickok 1869th Because a knife was brandished not worn, it is probably a photographer prop. Although Suede often portray in movies are shown earlier times, Hickok was one of the first to wear them.
On 21 July 1865 to the town square of Springfield, Missouri, Hickok killed Davis Tutt Jr., in a "quick draw" duel. Fiction later embodied this kind of shooting, but Hickok's is in fact the first record matches the image.
Hickok first met former Confederate Army soldier Davis Tutt early 1865, while the two were gambling in Springfield, Missouri. Hickok often borrowed money from Tutt. Originally, they were good friends, but they finally was a woman and it was rumored that Hickok had once an affair with the sister Tutt, maybe getting a child. This was probably due to the fact that it exacerbated a long discussion about Hickok girlfriend Susannah Moore. Hickok refused cards with Tutt, retribution played by funding from other players in an attempt to bankrupt him.
According to the adopted bill, the armed came to a head when Tutt was coaching an opponent of Hickok's during a card game. Hickok was on a winning streak, and Tutt, frustrated that he requested to repay a $ 40 loan, which had Hickok. Tutt then requested more $ 35 owed from a previous card game. Hickok rejected because he had a "memorandum", it proves to be for $ 25. Tutt was then to see Hickok's, which lay on the table, as collateral for the $ 35, at which point it Hickok warned not to wear, or he, Hickok would shoot him. The next day came Tutt on the pitch wearing the Clock prominent and Hickok attempts to negotiate the watch back. Tutt said he would now accept no less than $ 45, but both agree that they are fighting not over him and went along for a drink. Tutt left the saloon, but returned to the square at 6 clock, while Hickok was on the other Side and warned him not to approach him while wearing the Clock. Both men stood sideways in the duel-position and both fired almost simultaneously. Tutt shot missed, but Hickok's not pungent Tutt removed by the side of approximately 75 meters. Tutt said: "Guys, I am killed," and ran to the porch of the local courthouse and then back to the street where he collapsed and died.
Hickok was later arrested for the murder two days, however, the charge later reduced to manslaughter. He was released on $ 2,000 bail and on trial 3rd August 1865th At the end of the study, gave Judge Boyd Sempronius the jury two contradictory Instructions. He first instructed the jury that a conviction was his only option under the law. He advised her, she could be the unwritten law of "fair fight" Apply freely and talk. The jury voted for acquittal, a verdict that was not popular at the time.
A few weeks later, Hickok by Colonel George Ward Nichols interviewed and the interview was published in Harper's New Monthly Magazine. Under the name "Wild Bill Hitchcock" (sic), the article reported that hundreds of men who allegedly killed himself Hickok and others exaggerated exploits. The article was controversial, where Hickok was known, and it led to several border newspapers write rebuttals. As can be seen in this account is not counting Indians Hickok killed five men (one by accident) was an accessory to the deaths of three others and wounded. Hickok was reported to be an inveterate hater of the Indians, but it's hard to separate fact from fiction. Witnesses confirm that during scouting from Fort Harker, Kansas 11th May 1867, Hickok by a large group of Indians, who shot and killed by Hickok fled two was attacked. In July, a newspaper reporter, he Hickok said several soldiers in the pursuit of Indians, the four men near the fort on 2 July had killed out had. He told her, and five prisoners after killing ten. Witnesses confirm the story was partly true: the party that is for those who are the four Men killed are set, but the group returned to the fort without hardly a dead Indian, or even seen a live one.
In September 1865 Hickok came in second in the election for City Marshal of Springfield. Leaving Springfield, he was recommended for the position of Deputy U.S. Marshal at Fort Riley Kansas. This was the time of the Indian Wars, the Great Plains counted as a battlefield, and sometimes Hickok served as a scout for George A. Custer 's 7th Cavalry.
In 1867, Hickok took a break from the West and moved to Niagara Falls, where he tried his hand at acting in a play "The Daring chases Buffalo of the Plains". He turned out to be, and again in the west, where he was sheriff in Ellsworth County, Kansas, went to 5 as a terrible actor November 1867, but was of former soldiers EW Kingsbury defeated.
In December 1867, newspapers reported Hickok arrived in Hays, Kansas. On 28 March 1868, he was back as a deputy in Hays U.S. Marshall, picking up 11 Union deserters steal to pass the expense to Topeka for the trial of state assets. He called for a military escort from Fort Hays and William F. Cody was a commissioned officer and five soldiers, with the group on arrival in Topeka on 2 April assigned. Hickok was still, or again, in Hays in August 1868 when 200 Cheyenne he considered to be related Hays and tourists. On 1 September Hickok in Elkhorn township in Lincoln County, Kansas, where he was a Scout at the 10th Calvary Regiment, had been engaged, a separate African-American unity. On 4 September Hickok wounded in the foot while rescuing several cattle breeders in the Bijou Creek Basin, surrounded by Indians were. The 10th Fort Lyon, Colorado, in October arrived and stayed for the remainder of 1868.
In July 1869 Hickok was back in Hays and became the sheriff and city marshal of Ellis County, Kansas, in a special election, to 23 August 1869 .. The county was kept with special difficulties sheriffshree had to quit over the previous 18 months. It is likely that Hickok was already acting as sheriff when she told a newspaper selected him arrested offenders 18 August and the commander of Fort Hays Hickok praised for his work in apprehending deserters in a letter he wrote to the Assistant Adjutant General on 21 August. However, can the "special election" have not been legally, as a letter of 17 September, the governor of Kansas pointed out that Hickok had a warrant presented for an arrest, was commander of the Fort Hays rejected because the issue in order to produce his commission he was never a Hickok had. Ellis County Elections on 2 November 1869, and Hickok (Independent) lost his deputy Peter Lanihan (Democrat). Hickok and Lanihan been accused or as a deputy sheriff and Hickok JV Macintosh irregularities and misconduct during the elections. On 9 December Hickok and Lanihan served legal papers on both Macintosh and local newspapers admitted that Hickok had guardianship of Hays City.
In his first month as sheriff of Hays, he killed two men in gunfights. The first, on 24 was Bill Mulvey, who has " the drop "on Hickok. Hickok looked past him and shouted," 'Do not shoot him in the back, he's drunk, "the distraction was enough for him To allow winning the fight. The second was Samuel Strawhun Cowboy by Hickok and Deputy Lanihan been invited, a salon, where a disturbance caused by 1 Strawhun clock at night 27 September. After Strawhun made remarks against Hickok, Strawhun died instantly from a bullet through his head as Hickok wanted to restore order. On Strawhuns morgue, despite "very inconsistent" testimony, the jury found to justify the shooting.
To 17 July 1870, also in Hays, he was in a gunfight with disorderly soldiers of the 7th U.S. Cavalry involved. Two soldiers, Jeremiah Lonergan and John Kile (Kyle), set to Hickok in a saloon. Lonergan Mark Hickok on the ground, while Kile put his gun on Hickok ear, but it failed, so that Hickok to reach its own weapons. Lonergan was in the knee while Kile shot that was shot twice, died the next day. Later, re-election win. On 15 April 1871 Hickok became marshal of Abilene, Kansas, the acquisition by former marshal Tom "Bear River" Smith, who was on 2 November 1870 murdered. The outlaw John Wesley Hardin was in Abilene in 1871 and was befriended by Hickok. In his 1895 autobiography (published after his own death and 19 years after Hickok's) to disarm Hardin claimed Hickok, with the help of the famous road Spin agents during a failed attempt to carry him to his guns arrested in a saloon. He further claimed that Hickok, As a result, had two guns and curious pointed to him. This story is considered apocryphal, or at least an exaggeration, as Hardin claims that at a time when Hickok could not defend themselves. Hardin was an extremely experienced gunfighter and was known for more than 40 men killed in his lifetime, have idealized it in turn identified Hickok and Wild Bill. It is also stated that if Hardin's cousin Mannen Clements was jailed arranged for the killing of two cowboys, Hickok, Hardin at the request of his flight.
While working in Abilene, Hickok and Phil Coe, a saloon owner, had an ongoing dispute that later led to a gunfight. Coe was the business partner Ben Thompson was known gunslinger, with whom he co-ownership, the Bulls Head Saloon. On 5 October 1871 Hickok was standing off a crowd at a street brawl, during which time Coe fired two shots. Hickok told him to also be arrested for firing a gun within the city limits. Coe stated that he was a stray Dog suddenly shoot his gun on Hickok, the first fired and killed Coe. Hickok began the view of movement of someone running to him and quickly fired two shots in response accidentally shooting and killing Abilene Special Deputy Marshal Mike Williams, who would come to his aid, an event that haunted Hickok for the rest of his life. There is another account of the shooting Coe. Theophilus Little, mayor of Abilene and owner of the town lumberyard, took his time in Abilene by in a notebook that was recently given the Abilene Historical Society. Writing in 1911, his admiration for Hickok detailed and contain a section on The shooting, which change the presumed.
"-" Phil "Coe was from Texas, was the" Bull Head ", a saloon and gambling house sold whiskey and a vile souls men, a character as I've ever met. For some reason Wild Bill incurred Coe hatred and he vowed to ensure the death of Marshall. Not have the courage to do it to get himself, he intends one day about 200 cowboys with whiskey, stuffed them into trouble with Wild Bill in the hope that they would shoot, and shoot the marshal in the melee to get. But Coe made without the host. " Wild Bill had the Rules learned and cornered Coe had his two pistols drawn on Coe. Just as he was the trigger one of the policemen at the corner between € Europe and pistols, and threw both Balls drawn into his body, killing him instantly. in a moment, he pulled the trigger again sending two balls into the belly Coe (Coe lived a day or two) Twisting and pulled his two guns on the amount of drunken cowboys, "and now want one of you guys want the rest of the balls." Not a word was spoken. "
Coe allegedly said that he could "kill a crow on the wing," and Hickok's retort is a the most famous sayings of the West (though possibly apocryphal) "? Did the crow have a pistol he was shooting back I will be." Hickok was relieved of his duties as marshal is less than two months after accidentally killed deputy Mike Williams, supposedly because of this incident as only one of a series of shootings and questionable claims of misconduct.
Hickok favorite places guns were a pair of cap-and-ball Colt 1851 Navy Model .36 pistol, which he wore until his death. These were plated with ivory handles and engraved: "JB Hickock-1869. He wore his gun backward in a belt or sash (called city clothes when tightening or suede), and rarely used holster per se, he drew the gun with a "Reverse" or "Twist" to move as if a rider.
Wild Bill, Texas Jack Omohundro and Buffalo Bill Cody in 1873
In 1873, invited Buffalo Bill Cody and Texas Jack Omohundro Hickok, to join them in a new play called Scouts of the Plains after their earlier success. Hickok and Texas Jack left the show before Cody made his Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show 1882nd
1876 Hickok by a doctor in Kansas City, Missouri, and glaucoma with ophthalmia, a condition that was far in the time of Hickok critics whispered that he diagnosed as the result of various sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, he seems to trachoma, a common vision disorder of the time have suffered. It was obvious that his accuracy suffers and health for some time, as he was repeatedly arrested for vagrancy, in spite of good gaming and displays of showmanship earned only a few years before. On 5 March 1876, married Agnes Hickok Lake Thatcher, a 50-year-old circus owner in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. Hickok left his new bride a few months later, joining Charlie Utter's freight train seeking fortune in the gold fields of South Dakota. Martha Jane Cannary known as Calamity Jane in the vernacular, claimed in her autobiography that she was married, and had Hickok divorced him, so he could be free to marry Agnes Lake, but no records were found to change the support of Jane's. It is believed that the two first met after Jane was released by the guard at Fort Laramie and joined the trek that Hickok was on the road. The wagon train arrived in Deadwood in July 1876th Jane himself confirms this statement in a newspaper interview in 1896, although she claims that she was not with the disease admitted to the police station to hospital.
Shortly before Hickok's death, he wrote a letter to his new wife, which reads in part: "Agnes Darling, if that we should never meet again, while firing my last shot, I will gently breathe the name of my wife Agnes and wishes for my enemies I want to try the jump and swim to the other side. "
Death
Wild Bill had a premonition that Deadwood would be his last camp and brought this conviction to two of his friends, Colorado Charlie. He was right, he would never leave alive Deadwood.
On 2 August 1876 Hickok was playing poker at Nuttal & Mann's No. 10 Saloon in Deadwood in the Black Hills, Dakota Territory. On this fateful day Wild Bill injured one of his own cardinal rules and was sitting with his back to the door. Twice he asked Rich to seats with him and refused both times change direction.
Wild Bill had a streak of bad luck that day and was forced to to borrow a poker game from the bartender. The losing streak worse, unnoticed when an ex-buffalo hunter was named John (Jack Roken nose) McCall. Jack McCall was within from a few yards from Wild Bill, and then suddenly pulled a gun and shouted that ake! before the fire.
The bullet struck Hickok in the back of the head and killed him instantly. Created by striking the ball right cheek Captain Wild Bill Massie in the left wrist. Legend has it that Hickok had lost its interest and had only $ 50 borrowed from the house to continue playing. When shot, he held a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. The fifth card is being discussed, or, as some say, was discarded and its replacement has not yet been treated.
Other cards have been addressed, but there are four proposals for the fifth Card.

"Dead Man's Hand"
Due the number of players who died during disputes, Dead Man's hand was already Poker idiom for a number of different hands, long before established Hickok died. In 1886, ten years after Hickok's death, the Dead Man's Hand with three boys and a pair of tens in a North Dakota newspaper that the concept of a game in Illinois 40 years was attributed previously declared, suggesting that Hickok had hand or win popularity. Finally, Hickok's "Aces and Eights" was generally known as "Dead Man's Hand adopted. In 1979, Hickok was admitted to the Poker Hall of Fame.
The motive for the killing is still controversial. McCall may have paid for the deed, or it may have been the result of a recent dispute between the two. Most likely, McCall was angry over what he perceived as a condescending offer from Hickok him enough money for breakfast after he had lost his money playing poker the previous day. On the resulting two-hour trial by a jury of miners (ad-hoc local group assembled miners and businessmen), who claimed that he McCall avenging Hickok earlier Murder of his brother may have been true. A Lew McCall is known to have been killed by a lawman in Abilene, but it is unknown whether he was related, and the name of law enforcement was not recorded. McCall was acquitted of murder, which in the Black Hills Pioneer editorializing: "Should it ever be our misfortune to kill a man … we ask simply that our study can take in some of the mining camps of these hills. "Calamity Jane had a reputation for leading have a mob threatened to lynch McCall, but at the time of death, Wild Bill, Jane was by military authorities.
McCall was arrested later after bragging about his crime and a new trial held. The authorities did not consider this to be double jeopardy because at the time was not Deadwood incorporated by the United States recognized the legitimacy of the city as it was in Indian Country and the jury was irregular. The new study was in Yankton, the capital instead of the area. Hickok Brother, Lorenzo Butler Hickok, traveled from Illinois to the resumption of the proceedings and spoke to McCall after the trial, noting that he showed no remorse. This time McCall found guilty. Reporters interviewed Hickok buried Leander Richardson just before his death and helped him. Richardson wrote of the meeting for the April 1877 issue of Scribner's Monthly, in which he mentioned McCall's second attempt.
"When I write the last lines of this brief sketch is sufficient me that the word was Wild Bill murderer arrested again by the UN authorities and sentenced to death following a trial for premeditated murder was. He is now in Yankton, DT is waiting execution. The study has proved that the killer was hired to work on his players, the time, as better citizens should appoint Bill Champion to do fear of law and order – a position he sustained earlier in Kansas frontier life, with credit to his manhood and his courage. "
McCall was on 1 March 1877 hanged and buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery. The cemetery was moved in 1881, and his body was exhumed and found that the noose around his neck. The killing of Wild Bill and the capture of Jack McCall is recreated every night (in summer) in Deadwood.
Funeral and Burial
Steve and Charlie Utter at the grave of Wild Bill Hickok
Charlie Utter, Hickok's friend and companion claimed Hickok body and put a notice in the local newspaper, the Black Hills Pioneer, which read:
"Shot Died in Deadwood, Black Hills, August 2, 1876 the consequences of a gun, JB Hickock (sic) (Wild Bill) formerly of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Burial will be at Charlie Utter's Camp held on Thursday afternoon, 3 August 1876 at 03.00 clock all are respectfully invited to attend. "

Hickok was originally in the Ingelside Cemetery, Deadwood buried original cemetery. This cemetery filled quickly to prevent further use and in 1879, on the third anniversary of his original burial paid Utter Hickok to the new cemetery on Mount Moriah . Move When the old cemetery was an area that was better suited to the constant influx of new settlers to live, the remaining sites there were up the hill to Mount Moriah Cemetery moved in the 1880s.
Today's tomb
Utter supported the move and found that while perfectly preserved, Hickok had been embalmed imperfect. As a result of calcium carbonate was replaced leads from the surrounding soil of the meat freezing. A the workers, Joseph McLintock, wrote a detailed description of the re-burial. McLintock used a cane on the body, face and head type, shall not soft parts everywhere. He noted the sound was similar to touching a wall and believed that weigh still more than 400 pounds (181 kg). William Austin, the cemetery caretaker, an estimated 500 lb (227 kg) it is difficult for men to wear them to the new site made. The original grave marker was also moved to the new site, but the year 1891 by souvenir hunters carved pieces were destroyed by him and it was replaced with a statue. This was again destroyed by relic hunters and replaced in 1902 by a life-size sandstone sculpture Hickok. That too was badly defaced that they are fully encapsulated in a cage for protection. This was open relic hunters in the 1950s Years and cut the statue away.
Hickok is currently in ten feet (3 m) square plot at Mount Moriah Cemetery in a cast iron Fence buried surrounded with a U.S. flag in the area. A memorial has been built there since then. It was reported that Calamity Jane was buried next to him because that was her last wish. But four of the men on the self-appointed committee, planned funeral Calamity (Albert Malter, Frank Ankeney, Jim Carson, and Anson Higby) later explained that since Bill bsolutely no use for Jane in this life, she had decided to strike a posthumous play by Hickok to rest for eternity with him. Potato Creek Johnny, a local celebrity Deadwood in the late 1800s and early 1900s, is buried next to Wild Bill.
"Dime novel" Fame
It is difficult to separate the truth from fiction about Hickok, the first "dime novel" hero of the western era in many ways, one of the first comic book hero in relations with others, a part of his fame reached in about one way frontiersman Davy Crockett. Save to dime novels, were Exploits Hickok shown in heroic form, making him appear larger than life. In truth, most of the stories exaggerated or by the two authors and self-produced.

^ "I was in the vicinity of Wild Bill stood on Main Street when someone began wild in the city on the eastern end of the road. It was Bill Mulvey, a notorious murderer from Missouri, known as a handy man with a gun …. Mulvey on the scene appeared to tear us along on his iron-gray horse, Gun in her hand full of tension. When he saw Wild Bill Mulvey went out to meet him, apparently hand waving, some youths behind Mulvey and calls to them: Do not shoot him in the Back, he's drunk. Mulvey gave up his horse to the animal and free-wheeling, drew a bead on his rifle in the direction of the imaginary man he thought Wild Bill was addressing. But before the ruse that had been played upon him, saw Wild Bill had his six-shooter and fired only once. Mulvey fell from his horse – dead after the bullet entered his temple and then passed through the head. "
