Wild Bill Hickok

Life and Career

Early

Hickok was born in Homer, Illinois (what is now Troy Grove) on May 27, 1837. His birthplace is now the Wild Bill Hickok Memorial, a historical Heritage site under the supervision of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. Growing up, his father's farm was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and learned of his ability to trigger the protection of the farm with his father slave receivers. Hickok was a good shot from a very young age and locally recognized as an outstanding shooter with a gun.

In 1855, at age 18, Hickok moved to Kansas territory following a fight with Charles Hudson, which resulted in both falling into a canal. Mistakenly thinking he had killed Hudson, Hickok fled and joined General Jim Lane vigilantes "Free State Army" (The Feet Red) where he met with 12 years of age, William Cody, later to be known as "Buffalo Bill", which then was a scout for the army Johnston.

Because of its "sweeping nose and protruding upper lip," Hickok was nicknamed "duck's beak." In 1861, after growing a mustache McCanles after the incident, began calling himself Wild Bill. Still photographs indicating that Hickok had dark hair, all descriptions of the time actually confirm that gold blonde. reddish hair black in the old photograph appeared in wet and dry plate.

For unknown reasons, uses the name Hickok William Hickok, 1858 and then William Haycock during the Civil War. Arrested as Haycock in 1865, then returned to his James Hickok's real name. Interestingly, most of the newspapers continued to use the name of William Haycock when it comes to "Wild Bill" in 1869 despite military records after 1865 by its correct name while acknowledging that he was also known as Haycock.

Sheriff

In 1857, Hickok claimed of 160 acres (65 hectares) tract in Johnson County, Kansas (in what is now Lenexa). On 22 March 1858, was chosen as one of the first four policemen Monticello Township, Kansas. In 1859 he joined the Russell, Waddell, and the carrier Major League called the Pony Express. The following year, was seriously injured by a bear and sent to Rock Creek Station in Nebraska (which the company had David McCanles recently acquired) to work as a steady hand while recovering. In 1861 he was involved in a fatal shooting McCanles's band in Rock Station David McCanles Creek after 40 years of age, your 12 years old (William) McCanles Monroe, and two pawns, James Woods and James Gordon, called the office of the station to require payment of a second installment due on the property, an event that is under much debate. David McCanles "called" Wild Bill in the House of the station. Wild Bill went out immediately called one of the SA Navy .36 caliber revolvers, and in a confrontation with 75 yards away, fired a single shot in the McCanles chest, killing him instantly (cf. Am Handgunner). Hickok and his accomplices, the station manager Horace Wellman and his wife and an employee, JW Brink were tried, but considered to have acted in self defense. According to Joseph G. Rosa, a biographer of Hickok, the shot that felled McCanles the elderly came from inside home, friends, a story of Wild Bill has invented to keep the "heat" of both the law and extended family McCanles off Wild Bill (Member generational extended). It is unknown who actually fired. Rosa conjecture that Wellman had much more of a reason to kill McCanles, a belief supported by McCanles's own son. Also had women in the house, possibly armed with shotguns. McCanles Hickok was the first man was known to have died in a fight. On several subsequent occasions, Hickok was to face and killed several men while fighting alone.

Civil War and exploration

When civil war erupted in April 1861, Hickok signed as a route for the Union Army in Sedalia, Missouri, and at the end of the year when he was a wagonmaster. In September 1862 he was dismissed for a reason not disclosed and no record of his whereabouts until late 1863, when he was hired by the provost of the South-west Missouri as a member the police detective in Springfield. It has been speculated that during the "lost year", Hickok may have been operating as a spy in the territory of the South.

Hickok duties as a police detective were mostly mundane and included counting the number of soldiers in drinking while on duty, control of liquor licensing and monitoring hotel individuals indebted to the Union to facilitate payment. In 1864 Hickok and detectives the other had not been paid for some time, and Hickok or resigned or been reassigned as he was hired as a scout by General John B. Sanborn least five dollars day, plus a horse and equipment. In June 1865, Hickok was met and spent their time in and around Springfield gambling.

Lawman and gunslinger reputation

Hickok 1869. Because a knife drawn would not have been used, as a photographer's likely prop. Although buckskins are often seen in films depicting earlier periods, Hickok was one of the first to use them.

On July 21, 1865, in the town square of Springfield, Missouri, Hickok killed Davis Tutt, Jr. in a "quick draw" duel. Later characterized Fiction this type of shooting, but Hickok is, in fact, the first record that matches the representation.

Hickok met for the first Once the former Confederate Army soldier Davis Tutt in early 1865, while both played in Springfield, Missouri. Hickok often borrowed money from Tutt. Originally they were good friends, but eventually fell on a woman, and was rumored to Hickok, once had an affair with the sister of Tutt, perhaps the father of a child. This was probably exacerbated by the fact that there was a long-standing dispute on Hickok's girlfriend, Susannah Moore. Hickok refused to play cards with Tutt, who responded by funding other players in an attempt to bankruptcy.

According to the accepted version, the dispute came to a head when an opponent was training Tutt Hickok during a card game. Hickok was on a winning streak and Tutt, frustrated, asked him to repay a loan of U.S. $ 40, which was Hickok. Tutt demanded another $ 35 should a card game before. Hickok refused because he had an "exposure" prove it for $ 25. Tutt then took the watch Hickok, who lay on the table, as collateral for the $ 35 at that point Hickok warned not to wear or, Hickok, shoot him. The next day Tutt appeared in the square wearing the watch in a prominent place, and Hickok tried to negotiate the return watch. Tutt said he now would not accept less than $ 45, but both agreed they do not fight for it and went for a drink together. Tutt left the room, but returned to the plaza at 6 hours, while Hickok reached the other side and warned him not approach him while wearing the watch. The two men face each other aside in the position of mourning, and both fired almost simultaneously. Tutt's shot missed, but not Hickok, Tutt drilling-side about 75 feet away. Tutt shouted: "Guys, I'm dead," and ran to the porch of the local court and then back to the street where he collapsed and died.

Hickok was arrested for the murder two days later, however, charge later reduced to manslaughter. He was released on $ 2,000 bail and was tried on August 3, 1865. At the end of the trial, the judge gave the jury Boyd Sempronius two contradictory instructions. The first time instructed the jury that a conviction was his only option before the law. Then, he ordered them could be applied the unwritten law of "fair fight" and acquit. The jury voted for acquittal, a verdict that was not popular at that time.

Several weeks later, Hickok was interviewed by Colonel George Ward Nichols, and the interview was published in Harper's New Monthly. Using the name of "Wild Bill Hitchcock "(sic), the article recounted the hundreds of men who allegedly killed and Hickok personally exaggerated exploits. The article was controversial where Hickok was known, and led several newspapers border replicas of writing. As you can see in this account, excluding Indians, five men killed Hickok (One by accident), was complicit in the deaths of three, and one was wounded. Hickok was reported that an inveterate enemy of the Indians, but it is difficult to separate facts of fiction. Witnesses confirmed that while scanning the Fort Harker Kansas May 11, 1867, Hickok was attacked by a large group of Indians, who fled after Hickok shot and killed two. In July, Hickok told a newspaper reporter who had been soldiers in search of Indians who had killed four men near the fort, on 2 July. Reported back with five prisoners after killing ten. The witnesses confirmed the story was true in part: The game was to find those who had killed the four men, but the group returned to the fort without even a dead Indian, or even see one alive.

In September 1865, Hickok was second in the election of City Marshal of Springfield. Leaving Springfield, was recommended for the post of Deputy U.S. Marshal Fort Riley Kansas. This was at the time of Indian wars had the Great Plains into a battlefield, and sometimes Hickok served as a scout for George A. Custer s' 7 Cavalry.

In 1867, Hickok took a break from the west and moved to Niagara Falls, which proved his hand at acting in a play called "The Daring of the Plains Buffalo Chase." Proved to be a terrible actor and returned to the West, where he ran sheriff in Ellsworth County, Kansas, on November 5, 1867, but was defeated by former soldier EW Kingsbury.

In December 1867, press reported the arrival of Hickok in Hays, Kansas. On March 28, 1868, was back in Hays as a deputy U.S. Marshall, collecting 11 Union deserters accused of stealing State assets to be transferred to Topeka for trial. He requested a military escort from Fort Hays and assigned William F. Cody, a sergeant and five soldiers, with the group arrives in Topeka on 2 April. Hickok was still, or more, in Hays in August 1868, when he brought 200 Cheyenne Hays range of campers. On September 1, Hickok was in the town of Elkhorn in Lincoln County, Kansas, where he was hired as a scout for 10th Calvary Regiment, a segregated African American unit. On September 4, Hickok was wounded in the foot while rescuing several ranchers in the Bijou Creek Watershed, which were surrounded by Indians. The 10th arrived at Fort Lyon, Colorado, in October and remained the rest of 1868.

In July 1869, Hickok was back in Hays and was elected sheriff and the town sheriff of Ellis County, Kansas, in a special election on August 23, 1869 .. The county had particular difficulty holding sheriffshree had left in the past 18 months. It is likely that Hickok was acting as sheriff when he was elected as a newspaper reported he apprehension of offenders on 18 August and the commander of Fort Hays praised for his work Hickok in the arrest of deserters in a letter he wrote to the Deputy Assistant General on 21 August. However, the "special election" can not be legal, as a letter dated September 17 the Governor of Kansas said that Hickok had filed an arrest warrant was rejected by the commander of Fort Hays, because when asked to produce his commission Hickok admitted he never had. Ellis County Elections were held on November 2, 1869, and Hickok (Independent) lost his deputy Peter Lanihan (D). Lanihan Hickok and maintained, respectively, and a deputy sheriff as defendant JV Macintosh Hickok irregularities and misconduct during the elections. On December 9, Hickok and Lanihan served legal documents on the Macintosh and local newspapers acknowledged that Hickok had custody of the City of Hays.

In his first month as sheriff of Hays, who killed two men in gunfights. The first, 24 was Bill Mulvey, who "has fallen" on Hickok. Hickok looked more past him and shouted: "'Do not shoot from behind, but baby," which was distracting enough to enable it win the fight. The second was Samuel Strawhun cowboy after Hickok, sheriff and Lanihan had been called to a room where Strawhun was causing a disturbance at 1 am on 27 September. After of Strawhun made comments against Hickok, Strawhun died instantly from a bullet in the head when he tried to restore order Hickok. In the investigation Strawhuns, despite "very contradictory" evidence of witnesses, the jury found the shooting justifiable.

On July 17, 1870, also in Hays, he was involved in a shootout with soldiers disorderly conduct of the 7th U.S. Cavalry. Two soldiers, Jeremiah and John Lonergan Kile (Kyle) set to Hickok in a saloon. Lonergan Hickok pinned on the ground while Kile put the gun in the ear of Hickok, however, failed, allowing for Hickok reach their own weapons. Lonergan was shot in the knee while Kile, who was shot twice, died the next day. Later failed to win reelection. On April 15, 1871, Hickok became marshal of Abilene, Kansas, taking over from former quarterback Tom "Bear River" Smith, who had died on November 2 1870. The outlaw John Wesley Hardin was in Abilene in 1871, and became friends with Hickok. In his autobiography, 1895 (published after his death and 19 years after Hickok) Hardin said he had disarmed Hickok to turn the famous street agent during a failed attempt to arrest him for carrying his gun in a classroom. He further claimed that Hickok, as a result, had two guns cocked and pointed. This story is considered apocryphal or at least an exaggeration, as Hardin said this at a time when Hickok could not defend themselves. Hardin was a very accomplished gunslinger and is known to have killed more than 40 men in her life, which in turn identified with idealized Hickok and Wild Bill. Also records that when Hardin cousin Mannen Clements was jailed for the murder of two cowboys, Hickok, Hardin's request, prepared for his escape.

While working in Abilene, Hickok and Phil Coe, owner of a saloon, had an ongoing conflict which later resulted in a shootout. Coe had been the business partner the well-known gunman Ben Thompson, who co-owned the Bulls Head Hall. On October 5, 1871, Hickok was standing off a crowd during a street fight, during which time which Coe fired two shots. Hickok ordered to be arrested for firing a gun within city limits. Coe said he was shooting at a stray dog, but suddenly turned his gun on Hickok, who fired first and killed Coe. Hickok got the idea of movement of someone running to and quickly shot two shots in the reaction, accidentally shooting and killing Deputy Special Abilene Chief Mike Williams, who came to his aid, an event that haunted Hickok for the remainder of his life. There is another account of the shooting Coe. Theophilus Little, mayor of Abilene and owner of the local sawmill, log your time in Abilene, writing in a notebook that was recently given to the Historical Society of Abilene. Writing in 1911, detailed his admiration for Hickok and included a paragraph about the shooting which differs considerably of the accepted version.

"-" Phil "Coe was from Texas, led the" Bull Head "a den of living and gambling, whiskey sold and souls of men a vile character I've ever known. for some reason Wild Bill Coe incurred hatred and pledged to ensure the death of Marshall. Not having the courage to do it himself, a day filled with about 200 cowboys and whiskey with the intention of obtaining the problems with Wild Bill, hoping that would shoot and melee kill the quarterback. But Coe "told his host." Wild Bill had learned the system and cornered Coe had two guns drawn in Coe. As brought out shot the policemen rushed around the corner from Coe and ball pistols and two entered his body, killing him instantly. in an instant, pulled the triggers again sending two bullets in the abdomen of Coe (Coe lived one or two days) and hanging around with his two arms in hand against drunken crowd of cowboys, and now some of you mates want the rest of the bullets. "Not one word was uttered."

Coe reportedly said he could "kill a crow on the wing, and the replication of Hickok is one of the famous sayings of the West (though possibly apocryphal)" "The line has a gun? Were you shooting? I'll be. "Hickok was relieved of his duties as grand marshal less than two months after he accidentally killed Mike Williams to deputy, allegedly because of this incident is just one of a series of questionable shootings and claims of misconduct.

weapons Hickok favorite was a pair of cap-and-ball Colt 1851 Navy pistols model 36, that led to his death. These were plated with ivory handles, and recorded were: "JB Hickock-1869." He wore the gun back to a belt or girdle (when the town or to wear pants to, respectively), and cases are rarely used by itself, took guns with a "reverse" or "spin" to draw, as you would a trooper.

Wild Bill, Texas Jack Omohundro, and Buffalo Bill Cody in 1873

In 1873, Buffalo Bill Cody and Texas Jack Omohundro Hickok invited to join them a new play called Scouts of the Plains after his previous success. Hickok and Texas Jack eventually left the show, before Cody formed the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show in 1882.

In 1876, Hickok was diagnosed by a doctor in Kansas City, Missouri, and glaucoma ophthalmia, a condition that was rumored widely at the time by opponents of Hickok is the result of various sexually transmitted diseases. In truth, seems to have been affected by trachoma, a disorder common vision of the era. It was evident that their aim and health had been suffering for some time, as he had been arrested several times for vagrancy, despite earning a good income from gambling and shows talent for the show only a few years earlier. On March 5, 1876, Hickok married Agnes Lake Thatcher, Circus owner of 50 years of age, in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. Hickok left his new wife a few months later, joining Charlie Utter wagon train to search fortune in the gold fields of South Dakota. Martha Jane Cannary, popularly known as Calamity Jane, said in her autobiography that she was married to Hickok and was divorced of him, that he could be free to marry Agnes Lake, but no records have been found to support account Jane. It is believed that the two met for the first time after Jane was released from the guard house at Fort Laramie and joined the caravan that traveled with Hickok. The caravan arrived in Deadwood in July 1876. Jane confirmed this account in an interview with a newspaper in 1896, but claimed he had been hospitalized with an illness and not in the guardhouse.

Shortly before Hickok's death, wrote a letter to his new wife, which reads in part: "Agnes Darling, if it should be we never meet again, while I was fired last shot, we breathe softly the name of my wife Agnes and with wishes even for my enemies I will make the step and try to swim to the other side. "

Death

Wild Bill had a hunch that would be his last camp Deadwood and expressed this belief to two of his friends from Colorado Charlie. He was right, would never live Deadwood.

On August 2, 1876 Hickok was playing poker at Nuttal & Mann Hall No. 10 of Deadwood in the Black Hills, Dakota Territory. On this fateful day Wild Bill violated one of its own cardinal rules and I was sitting with his back to a door. Twice asked Rich to change places with him and both times refused rich.

Wild Bill was having a run of bad luck that day and was forced to borrow a poker game the waitress. That streak of bad luck worsened when a former hunter Buffalo named John (Jack Roken nose) McCall walked in unnoticed. Jack McCall walked a few meters from Wild Bill, and suddenly drew a pistol and shouted: ake that! before shooting.

Hickok's bullet in the back of the head, killing him instantly. The bullet exited through Wild Bill Massie captain amazing right cheek on his left wrist. Legend has it that Hickok had lost his game and had taken only $ 50 from home to follow playing. When shooting, holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. The fifth card is torn or, as some say, had been discarded and replaced not has taken yet.

Other letters have been mentioned, but there are four main proposals for the fifth card.

"Dead Man's Hand"

Given the number of poker players who died during the conflict, the dead man's hand poker language was already established by a number of different hands long before Hickok died. In 1886, ten years after Hickok's death, the dead man's hand, as explained three cats and a pair of scores in a newspaper of North Dakota, which attributes the term to a specific game held in Illinois for 40 years indicating that Hickok's hand had yet to gain popularity. Finally, Hickok "Aces and Eights" was widely accepted as the hand of the dead man. In 1979 Hickok was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.

The cause of death remains controversial. McCall may have been paid by the writing, or may have been the result of a recent dispute between the two. Most likely, McCall was furious over what he perceived as a condescending offer Hickok to let him have enough money for breakfast, having lost all his money playing poker the previous day. In the trial resulting in two hours miners jury (an ad hoc group of miners and businessmen together), McCall said he was avenging Hickok's murder before his brother what he may have been true. A Lew McCall was known to have been killed by a lawman in Abilene, but it is unknown if he was involved, and the name of law enforcement was not recorded. McCall was acquitted of murder, resulting in the Black Hills Pioneer editorializing: "If ever our misfortune to kill a man … simply ask that our trial may take place in some of the mining camps of these hills. "Calamity Jane was reputed to have led a mob threatened to lynch McCall, but at the moment the Wild Bill's death, Jane was arrested by military authorities.

McCall was subsequently rearrested after to boast of their action, and a new trial was held. The authorities do not consider it double jeopardy because at the time Deadwood was not recognized by the U.S. as a people legally incorporated, as it was in Indian territory and the jury was irregular. The retrial was held in Yankton, capital of the territory. Hickok's brother, Lorenzo Butler Hickok, traveled from Illinois to attend the reopening of the case and went to McCall after the trial, noting that he showed no remorse. This time McCall was found guilty. Leander Richardson Hickok reporter interviewed shortly before his death and helped bury him. Richardson wrote about the meeting of the April 1877 issue Scribner's Monthly, in which he mentions the second trial of McCall.

"As I write the closing lines of this brief outline, word reaches me that the murderer of Wild Bill has been arrested again by the authorities, and after the trial has been sentenced to death for premeditated murder. He is now in Yankton, DT awaiting execution. The trial showed that the murderer was hired to do their work for the players who feared the moment Improving public should appoint Bill champion of law and order – a position formerly held of life in the Kansas border, with credit to his manhood and courage. "

McCall was hanged on March 1, 1877 and buried in the Catholic cemetery. The cemetery was moved in 1881 and his body was exhumed and found that the link still around his neck. The murder of Wild Bill and the capture of Jack McCall is staged every night (in summer) in Deadwood.

Funeral and burial

Steve and Charlie Utter at the grave of Wild Bill Hickok

Charlie Utter, a friend and fellow Hickok, Hickok claimed the body and put an ad in the local newspaper, the Black Hills Pioneer, which read:

"Died in Deadwood, Black Hills, August 2, 1876, the effects of a pistol shot, JB Hickock (sic) (Wild Bill) before Cheyenne, Wyoming. Funeral services will be held at Camp Charlie Utter, on the afternoon of Thursday, August 3, 1876, at 15:00 All are invited to participate with respect. "

Almost all the people attended the funeral, and Utter Hickok was buried with a headstone reading the timber:

"Wild Bill, JB Hickock (sic) killed by the murderer Jack McCall in Deadwood, Black Hills, August 2, 1876. My friend, we will meet again in the hunting ground to part no more. Goodbye, Charlie Colorado, CH Utter. "

Hickok was buried in Ingelside Cemetery, Deadwood original cemetery. This cemetery was filled quickly, preventing their further use, and in 1879, the third anniversary of his original burial, full attention on Hickok moved to the new Mount Moriah Cemetery. As the old cemetery was a area that was best suited to the constant influx of new residents to live, the remaining bodies were not moved up the hill to Mount Moriah Cemetery, in the decade 1880.

Today's tomb

Absolute under the supervision of the move and said that, while perfectly preserved, embalmed Hickok had been imperfect. As a result, the calcium carbonate from the surrounding soil had replaced the flesh that leads to petrification. One worker, Joseph McLintock, wrote a detailed description of the new burial. McLintock uses a cane to take the body the face and head, finding no soft tissue on the web. He noted that the sound was like playing a brick wall and it is believed that the remains now weigh over 400 pounds (181 kg). William Austin, the caretaker of the cemetery, about 500 pounds (227 kg) making it difficult for men to take them to the new school. The original grave marker is moved also the new school, but in 1891 had been destroyed by souvenir hunters carved pieces of it and was replaced by a statue. In turn, was destroyed by hunters relics and replaced in 1902 by a sandstone sculpture of Hickok size. This was also attacked the evil that has led his entire cabinet in a protective cage. This was opened by relic hunters in the 1950 and the statue removed.

Hickok is currently buried in a ten feet (3 m) square plot at Mount Moriah Cemetery, surrounded by a cast iron fence with a U.S. flag flying by. A monument has been built there. It has been reported that Calamity Jane was buried next to him because it was his last wish. However, four men in the self-appointed committee that planned the funeral of Calamity (Albert Malter, Ankeney Frank, Jim Carson and Anson Higby) later stated that since the Bill had bsolutely Jane does not fit in this life, they decided to play a joke posthumous Hickok put to rest for eternity next to her. Potato Creek Johnny, a local celebrity dead from the 1800 and 1900, is also buried next to Wild Bill.

"Dime novel" fame

It is difficult to separate fact from fiction about Hickok, the first "dime novel" hero of the West was in many respects one of the heroes of the comic first, keep company with another managed Part of his fame in such a way, Davy Crockett colonizer. In the dime novels, Hickok's exploits were presented as heroic, which seems larger than life. In fact, most of the stories were greatly exaggerated or fabricated by both the writers and himself.

^ "I was standing near Wild Bill on the main street when someone started firing into the city at the eastern end of the street. It was Bill Mulvey, a notorious murderer of Missouri, known as a business man with a gun …. Mulvey appeared on the scene, starting with us in his iron gray horse, rifle in hand, full cocked. When he saw Wild Bill Mulvey came to meet, apparently shaking hands with some companions behind Mulvey and asking for them: Do not shoot from behind, but you drink. Mulvey stopped his horse and, turning on the animal, said a string of his rifle in the direction of the imaginary man thought Wild Bill was going. But before he realized the stratagem that had played with him, Wild Bill had aimed his revolver and fired once only. Mulvey got off his horse – dead, the bullet that penetrated in the temple and then went through the head. "
