Wild Bill Hickok: A Wild West Original

[Talyn]

Who was this man whose name became synonymous with handguns and violence as he became a legend during his lifetime? Like so many colorful historical figures, Hickok’s reported exploits are often challenging to confirm or disprove.

It's in the basement. The entire main street was raised after a bunch of flooding. As I recall there wasn't much to do except stand there and gawk. I don't even know I believe it was the same building. Probably just a new building situated near the old saloon and someone's guess as to where the table he was sitting at was. Deadwood is all about tourists. Still loved it.

Howdy all,
When I saw this article, I had to join the forum. The current #10 (across from the actual site) is my favorite watering hole. Fortunately I don't live close enough to Deadwood for it to become a problem.
Great article on a helluva pistoleer.
