The Incredible Life of Wild Bill Hickok - The Plainsman

It has not been the purpose of this book to novelize Wild Bill Hickok. That has already been done, and rather effectively. The main purpose of this work is to find out what was real, and what imaginary, in the stories about him. Wild Bill was a fascinating personality to all who knew him. The mere mention of his name never failed to bring a crash of brasses from the orchestra. His friends never ceased to chant his praises as an honest man, an incredibly accurate pistol shot, and an individual who was without fear in the presence of danger._x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ The Prince of Pistoleers_x000D_ Ancestry and Early Manhood _x000D_ The Magnum Opus of Pistolry _x000D_ The Mccanles Mystery Solved _x000D_ Wartime Adventures_x000D_ Fight With Conquering Bear and a New Indian Romance _x000D_ The Duel With Dave Tutt_x000D_ A Blue Ribbon Outburst of Guns_x000D_ On the Plains With the Wilson Party_x000D_ Marshal of Hays City and Abilene_x000D_ Wild Bill Starts a Wild West Show_x000D_ Traits and Personal Appearance_x000D_ Three Shooting Stars _x000D_ A Visit to Cheyenne_x000D_ Romance and Marriage _x000D_ The Calamity Jane-Wild Bill Myth_x000D_ Last Days_x000D_ The Trial and Execution of Jack Mccall
