POKER INFO - PROILE - Wild Bill Hickok

Wild Bill was a sheriff not a marshal was he not? Not that that means much here nor there :P. Either way he's a dead guy who desereved to be shot.

You're all a bunch of hoopleheads.

anybody got a pix of hickock and McCall in the same frame? the player across from Bill should have warned him. Why didn't he do you suppose?

I think maybe he was in the whole thing with mccall or maybe he was to concentrated on the game.either way,(ALAIN'/Kracker HE DID NOT DESERVE TO BE SHOT

just at deadwood three months ago. Salloon #10 has a chair mounted in a glass case up on a wall above the door you enter. This is purportedly the same chair Wild Bill was killed in while playing poker. Anyone here who has a desire to see Deadwood should get their ass in gear an go... the history is alive and well. Even if Bill isn't.

I dont think the guy intended to shoot him necessarily. I think he was aiming at that overgrown caterpillar on Hickocks face and missed.

When Wild Bill was young he ran across Jack McCall during a cattle drive and McCall was a hot head and Wild Bill set him straight and made him leave the drive. WB always sat with his back to the wall during a poker game but this time he didn't. He felt uneasy about it and at the end of his last hand he was going to change chairs when Jack McCall who had a long history with Wild Bill shot him.
