See att.com slash iPhone for details. And we continue here with our American stories. Wild Bill Hickok, his name conjures up an image of an out-of-control gunslinger. Here to tell the real story of Wild Bill is Roger McGrath, author of Gunfighters, Highwaymen and Vigilantes. He's a U.S. Marine and former history professor at UCLA, and he's appeared on numerous History Channel documentaries. He's also a regular contributor for us here at Our American Stories.
Take it away, McGrath. Well, Bill Hickok was a gunfighter and lawman of legendary proportions in the Old West who also served as a scout for the U.S. Army during the Civil War and later during the Indian Wars. Nearly everything he did in his adult life commanded attention.
Even the hand of cards he was holding when shot to death in a deadwood saloon. In the 1870s, no Western figure was better known. He's the subject of hundreds of articles and books. A half dozen movies have been made about his life, most notably The Plainsman starring Gary Cooper and recently Wild Bill starring Jeff Bridges. There was also a television series, The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, which ran for eight seasons and starred Guy Madison.
Wild Bill Hickok is born James Butler Hickok in 1837 in Homer, Illinois, a small town 80 miles west of Chicago. The town later changes its name to Troy Grove. James's God-fearing Christian parents are abolitionists who risk their lives by turning their home into a station for slaves along the Underground Railroad. It is during this time that the lean and wiry young man gets his first taste of hostile gunfire when he and his father are chased by law officers who suspect them of carrying more than just hay in their wagon. The danger of freeing slaves makes a lasting impression on young James, giving him a fearlessness that begins to define him as a man. James helps the family, which also includes three older brothers and two younger sisters, more by his hunting than by his laboring on the farm. From a young age, James is fond of guns and through natural talent and regular practice becomes a crack shot.
He also develops the ability to shoot a handgun equally well with either hand. James is a voracious reader and consumes everything he can about America's fiercely independent frontier heroes, especially Daniel Boone and Dick Carson. James Butler Hickok heads west himself to Kansas Territory in 1856. Kansas is a battleground between settlers from Illinois and other northern states who want to prohibit slavery there and southerners, mostly from Missouri and Arkansas, who want to establish slavery in the new territory. Hickok, who continues his abolitionist ways, joins Jim Lane's Free State Army to battle with the Free Staters called the Border Ruffians, who have crossed into Kansas from Missouri to attack anti-slavery settlers.
Kansas becomes bleeding Kansas, a prelude to the Civil War. In 1858, Hickok is elected constable of the town of Monticello in the northeastern corner of Kansas. Hickok is now 21 years old and is described as six foot one and 180 pounds with all burnt hair and blue-gray eyes. For his size, he has small, almost delicate hands.
He has great dexterity and can draw a handgun and manipulate its hammer and trigger with precision and quickness that astonish witnesses. He serves as constable for a year and then goes to work driving freight wagons and stagecoaches for the famous firm of Russell's Majors and Waddell, the founders of the Pony Express. In July 1861, 24-year-old Hickok is at the Rock Creek Station, a tiny stop on the Pony Express, when David McCandless comes to the station to collect a debt from the company. McCandless calls on the station manager, Horace Wellman, to come out with the money. McCandless, who nicknames Hickok Duck Bill, says if Hickok is supporting Wellman, he will come inside and drag them both out.
Here's Old West historians Paul Hutton and Marshall Trimble. The station was owned by a tough local character who had southern sympathies by the name of Dave McCandless, and the Pony Express company hadn't been paying their rent. McCandless was always coming around and harassing the people at the station. So there was animosity between David McCandless and Wild Bill Hickok, and McCandless was a bully. Hickok's distaste for bullies began with his participation in the Underground Railroad and continues with a chance encounter in 1857 with an 11-year-old boy named Bill Cody, who history will remember as Buffalo Bill. Cody first meets Hickok on a driving trip to Salt Lake City when Cody is an extra hand for Russell, Majors, and Waddell, and Hickok is a teamster. During the trip, one of the other teamsters berates and bullies the young Cody until the boy retaliates by throwing a pot of hot coffee into the teamster's face.
The teamster reacts instantly. Cody describes what happens next in his autobiography. He sprang for me with the ferocity of a tiger and would undoubtedly have torn me to pieces had it not been for the timely interference of my newfound friend, Wild Bill, who knocked the man down. I'll make business to protect that boy or anybody else from being unmercifully abused, kicked, and cuffed, and I'll whip any man who tries it on, said Wild Bill. And if you ever again lay a hand on that boy, little Billy there, I'll give you such a pounding that you won't get over it for a month of Sundays. From that time forward, Wild Bill was my protector and intimate friend, and the friendship thus begun continued until his death. Here's Criminal Justice Professor Arnette Gaston. Hickok's sense of justice, greatly influenced by his parents, caused him to get into situations where he should always stand up for right.
He was a defender of the downtrodden, he was a defender of those who couldn't defend himself, and all this added to his horror. Originally from the mountains of North Carolina, McCandless is large and powerful, and some weeks earlier had easily thrown Hickok to the ground in what was described as a friendly wrestling match. Hickok doesn't give McCandless a chance to do so again. As McCandless steps through the station's doorway, Hickok fires a rifle. A bullet pierces McCandless' heart, and he is blown backwards, falling to the ground dead. Two members of the McCandless gang, they now run to the station. Horace Wellman shoots Woods, and Woods staggers back and falls to the ground. Wellman's wife runs outside and finishes off Woods by hacking him with a hoe. Hickok shoots Gordon, but he somehow runs to a nearby creek. Hickok and several station employees track him down and shoot him to death with a shotgun. Six years later, a fanciful article appears in Harper's Magazine describing how Hickok single-handedly fought and defeated David McCandless and his 10-man gang of border ruffians.
He becomes a national hero overnight. Here's Old West historian Marcus Huff. Harper's Weekly was essentially the internet of the West. I mean, everyone read it. It was everywhere, and it was the news.
To not only have a story about yourself in there, but illustrations? It was fantastic for Hickok, professionally. And you've been listening to Roger McGrath and some other noted historians telling the story of Wild Bill Hickok, how he got the name Bill from James. But most importantly, an early childhood experience with danger, the right kind of danger, the heroic kind, that may have been indeed the thing, the single thing, that explains who Wild Bill was. His parents, well, they were using their home as an escape portal and part of the Underground Railroad.

That's KNIX.com. And we continue with our American stories and the story of Wild Bill Hickok. Here to continue with the tale is Roger McGrath. Hickok leaves the Rock Creek Station two weeks after the shooting and travels to Fort Leavenworth to continue the family tradition of fighting against slavery and volunteers as scout in the Union Army. It's at this time that Hickok develops his signature cavalry style reverse draw or twist draw that will make him famous. Hickok next leads a Union wagon train from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to Sedalia, Missouri.
Confederate guerrillas attack the wagon train and Hickok barely escapes being captured. It's about this time he earns his nickname Wild Bill. Legend says he stops a bartender from being lynched after a saloon brawl in Independence, Missouri.
A woman in the crowd applauds his action and yells, good for you, Wild Bill. Here's Old West historian Chris Ince. Bill Hickok was so pretty it hurts. He was a very compassionate man. He was a decent man.
His eyes would reflect that compassion. But if you ever challenged him, he could stare down a rattlesnake. Hickok carries dispatches through every fire for the Union forces during the Battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas in 1862.
The Union victory there ensures Missouri will remain in the Union. In April 1865, after four years with over 620,000 killed and nearly a million more wounded captured or missing, Hickok tries his luck as a gambler. In Springfield, Missouri, Hickok finds himself losing heavily in a poker game to Davis Tut, a former Confederate soldier turned professional gambler who's commonly known as Dave. Hickok gives Tut a valuable watch as collateral for his gambling debts.
Here's Andrew Nelson. He warns Tut he does not want to see him walking around with that watch. So what does Tut do the next day?
He walks around with the watch. What happens next has been the basis for countless legends about Old West gunfights. Tut appears on one side of Springfield's town square, Hickok on the other. What follows will later be made iconic by countless dime novels, radio and television dramas such as Gunsmoke, and Western films such as High Noon. At a distance of about 75 yards, Hickok stops and calls out, Dave, here I am. They draw their guns and fire simultaneously. Hickok's round drills Tut in the heart.
Tut calls out, boys, I'm killed, and drops to the ground dead. When newspapers publish reports of the shootout, it's the first time the name Wild Bill is used in print. Hickok's legend as a gunfighter skyrockets. After a coroner's jury declares that Dave Tut had died at the hands of James Butler Hickok, Wild Bill is arrested on a charge of manslaughter. He posts bail and pleads not guilty at an initial court hearing. In the trial, Hickok's attorney argues self-defense. The prosecutor argues Hickok could have avoided the fight.
The jury is out only 10 minutes and returns a verdict of not guilty. In 1866, Hickok is summoned to Fort Riley, Kansas by a Civil War friend, Captain R.B. Owen, who recommends Hickok for an appointment as a U.S. deputy marshal. Hickok becomes a deputy marshal and spends a year hunting horse thieves, counterfeiters, deserters, and other such miscreants. He also does some duty as an army scout. It's while Hickok is at Fort Riley that he reconnects with William Cody, soon to be known as Buffalo Bill.
Cody is serving as a government detective and army scout. On January 1, 1867, Hickok begins scouting the frontier for one of the finest cavalry commanders of the Civil War, the boy general of the Michigan Volunteers, George Custer. Custer is now a lieutenant colonel in the regulars and commander of the famous 7th Cavalry. Custer calls Hickok his best scout and says he is the consummate plainsman. Custer's wife, the fetching Libby Custer, later said of Hickok, physically he was a delight to look upon, tall, light, and free in every motion.
He rode and walked as if every muscle was perfection, and the careless swing of his body as he moved seemed perfectly in keeping with the man, the country, and the time in which he lived. Hickok can ride trail and track, and he's not only a crack shot, but also extraordinary with handguns. He practices with his guns whenever possible, and he disassembles and cleans them daily. He can hit several objects thrown in the air at the same time, firing with a gun in each hand. But it's one thing to shoot at targets.
It's another thing to shoot at a man who's trying to kill you. In the face of fire, Hickok is not only one of the fastest, but one of the most deadly accurate shootists who have ever lived. In July 1867 appears the first dime novel about Hickok, Wild Bill the Indian Slayer. There's some truth in this, because as a scout he fights and kills Indians, and will continue to do so through 1868 and well into 1869. He has several close calls. In one fight a Cheyenne warrior drives a lance into Hickok's thigh. But fame often has a lot of sharp edges and has to be handled carefully.
There's always the threat of some lowlife trying to earn his spurs. In August 1869, Hickok is elected sheriff of Ellis County, Kansas. The county's largest town is Hayes City, a wild and wooly railroad stop full of buffalo hunters and teamsters and soldiers from nearby Fort Hayes. One writer referred to it as the Sodom of the Plains.
Here again is Marcus Huff and historian David Eisenbach. Hayes City was a hotbed of youthful indiscretion. It was a cattle town, a railhead.
You had a lot of guys coming there to spend their money. It was fairly lawless until Hickok came around. Once you acquire this international fame, which he did, of being the quickest shot in the West, you're going to get some jerk who wants to make a name for himself by taking you down. Here's sheriff only a few days when he confronts Hellraiser Bill Mulvey, who's drunk, waving his gun about and challenging others to fight. Hickok shoots him to death. A month later, Hickok puts two bullets into the head of Sam Straughan under similar circumstances. Hickok's quick-to-shoot policy loses him a reelection bid in November 1869.
Hickok remains in Hayes City, again trying his luck as a gambler. He's drinking in one of the saloons when two troopers of Custer's 7th Cavalry suddenly accost the legendary gunslinger. In the ensuing struggle, one of the troopers presses a gun to Hickok's ear and pulls the trigger, but the Remington 44 fails to fire. Hickok's Colt Navy 38 does fire, and the soldier is mortally wounded. Hickok wounds a second soldier with a shot to the knee. Hickok then springs to his feet and smashes through a window and into the night, never again to appear in Hayes City. And you've been listening to Roger McGrath tell the story of Wild Bill Hickok. And just as Hickok would do, he ends up in bloody Kansas. Of course, this is where the struggle and the fight over slavery reaches its apex, and this is just years before the Civil War, where Hickok ably serves.
And then, of course, what to do after the war. And there he is, back as a constable. And he earns this reputation as one of the fastest and most accurate guns in the West. But a lot of punks, McGrath noted, want to challenge him.

In April 1871, Hickok becomes city marshal of Abilene, Kansas. Abilene is the first of the famous Kansas cattle towns.
Here's Paul Hutton and Andrew Nelson. Abilene had a reputation as being the roughest of all the cattle towns. It was end of trail for the herds coming north from Texas. Everyone's fueled on alcohol, of course, and somebody has to keep the peace. And that's Wild Bill Hickok. So this is an interesting moment in American history where a burgeoning society recognizes that it needs to remove the unsavory elements. But how do you do that?
Well, you need to find someone who has one foot in both worlds, who can travel in both circles. Most of the cowboys who drive the herds from Texas to the Abilene railhead are Confederate veterans or the sons of Confederate veterans. After months on the trail, and with a payoff in their pockets, they intend to have fun. Union veteran Hickok is at odds with them. It's a highly volatile situation with great potential for violence. Confederate veteran and Texan Phil Coe is a giant of a man for his era, 6 foot 4 and 225 pounds. He has problems with Hickok from the day he arrives in Abilene, mostly over the way he, Coe, operates his saloon, the Bull's Head Tavern. Coe had upset the town with his saloon advertisement, painted on the side of the building, a drawing of a bull with a massive erect phallus. Wild Bill painted over it, and Coe swore revenge. Problems further escalate when Hickok and Coe begin to court the same woman.
On an October night in 1871, Coe and several of his Texas friends are drinking in the Alamo saloon. Their revelry spills into the street, and Coe draws his gun and fires into the air. Sound of the gunfire brings Hickok on the run, and he demands to know who fired the shot. Coe says he fired at a stray dog who tried to bite him. Just shooting at a stray dog, Hickok!
I don't care what you're shooting at, Phil. The law says no guns in town. Hickok demands Coe's gun. Coe either hesitates to comply or refuses, depending on the witness, and Hickok immediately draws both pistols and fires.
Coe is hit in the stomach and collapses. A second later, Hickok catches movement out of the corner of his eye and spins and fires twice more. The bullets tear into Mike Williams, Hickok's own deputy, who is rushing to Hickok's aid. Williams dies on the spot. The death haunts Hickok for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, Coe, in terrible pain, struggles for several days and dies. Two months later, Abilene's city council relieves Hickok of his duties, and he again returns to gambling. Hickok drifts across the West for the better part of a year. It's said he drinks too much and wins too little. It's the year Buffalo Bill finds him. In September 1873, Buffalo Bill hires his old friend to perform in Cody's Theatrical Productions, Scouts of the Plains, and Buffalo Bill, King of the Border Men. Hickok is well paid, but he hates appearing on stage and often stammers or forgets his lines. He's embarrassed by the histrionic melodrama and false heroics.
He is a man of action, not words. He quits in March 1874. Back to the high plains goes Hickok. He spends much of his time in the railroad town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and it's here in February 1876 that he marries Agnes Lake. Hickok honeymoons with Agnes in her hometown of Cincinnati, but he then heads west to the newest mining boom town, Deadwood, in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. Two years earlier, it was General Custer on a special expedition who discovered gold in the Black Hills. Hickok arrives in Deadwood in July 1876 and bumps into many of his old friends.
Mining's not for him, though, and he spends most of his time gambling in saloons. I don't think you could have found any place more vile than Deadwood, South Dakota. It just was a place that had no law. You had people stealing from one another. You had people jumping one another. There are people that are being killed in a very violent way. You had all of this going on, and in this scene you find Wild Bill Hickok.
Your call. Shortly after noon on August 2, 1876, as America's celebrating its 100th anniversary, Hickok strolls into the Number 10 saloon and joins a poker game in progress. Hickok asks Charles Rich, who is seated in a chair against the wall, to exchange seats with him. Rich only laughs and tells Wild Bill not to worry. Nobody is gunning for him. A few minutes later, Hickok repeats the request, and this time all the poker players, Carl Mann, William Massey, and Charles Rich, begin ribbing Hickok for his excessive caution. A drifter named Jack McCall enters the saloon.
He draws no attention. He'd been in the Number 10 only the night before, losing all the money he had on him in a card game to Hickok and others. Get some rest. Take it easy. Here, have some breakfast on me. Here again is Marshall, Trimble, and Chris Enns. McCall's offended that Hickok has given him money to go and get something to eat and to calm down, but McCall isn't having any of it.
Come in. Wild Bill Hickok and Jack McCall were gambling one night. He was a drifter, a ne'er-do-well, a loser.
The guy's got a chip on his shoulder of some kind. McCall is just a punk looking for a way to start a fight with Wild Bill Hickok, and that's precisely what he does. Now McCall moves along the bar until he's behind Hickok.
Wild Bill's attention is on Massey, a former steamboat captain on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Hickok is losing heavily to Massey, and Hickok remarks, The old duffer, he broke me on the hand. Those are Hickok's last words. There's the explosion of a revolver, and McCall yells, Damn you, take that. Jack McCall is a drunk.
He's somebody who's looking for a way of fast fame. McCall comes in, and before Hickok knows it, takes his gun and shoots him in the back of the hat. Hickok, face down, on the table, and is dead. After Hickok dies with aces and eights in his hand, that hand becomes a powerful symbol in western literature and film that writers and filmmakers use to signal that death is at hand. Thirty-nine-year-old Hickok outlives his close friend George Custer by less than two months. Custer had earlier fallen at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Captain Jack Crawford recalls of his friend Hickok.
He was loyal in his friendship, generous to a fault, and invariably espoused the cause of the weaker against the stronger in a quarrel. Hickok is buried in Deadwood Cemetery with the inscription, Wild Bill, killed by the assassin Jack McCall. McCall is tried in Deadwood's miners' court. A surprising number of character witnesses appear on behalf of McCall, saying he's a quiet, peaceable man that Hickok had earlier threatened to kill.
Hickok is called one of the premier gunfighters of the frontier, who is quick to shoot without giving an opponent a chance. The jury finds the defendant not guilty. McCall leaves for Cheyenne in Laramie City.
He doesn't go far enough. The first trial is declared not binding because Deadwood is technically on the Sioux Reservation, and the Deadwood's miners' court and its proceedings are there for extra legal. McCall is arrested again, and this time tried in Yankton, Dakota Territory. This time he's found guilty of murder and hanged. McCall becomes a footnote in history. Wild Bill becomes a legend. And a terrific job on the production, editing, and storytelling by our own Greg Hengler.
And a special thanks to Roger McGrath. He's the author of Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes, Violence on the Frontier. He's appeared on numerous History Channel documentaries. He's a regular contributor for us here at Our American Stories. What a story. What a life lived by Wild Bill. And my goodness, I'd love to see his resume. A stop here, a stop there, always danger, always defending the indefensible. And Wild Bill, well, he becomes a legend, and was a legend.
