The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
James Butler Hickok lived in the days when the West was still wild and wooly—and his exciting adventures earned for him the title "Wild Bill".
It is a name that still stands for high adventure. Will Bill Hickok worked with wagon trains, drove stagecoaches, fought Indians. As an army scout he shared the thrills and dangers of the trail with his famous horse, Black Nell.
It was as a peace officer, however, that Wild Bill won his true and lasting place in our country's history. When the odds were against him he brought law and order to the cow towns of early Kansas. Reckless cowboys, big-time gamblers, daring outlaws and their gangs bowed to the iron will of this one fearless man. He wore the silver star of the law with courage and honor.
A.M. Anderson gives us a true and accurate picture of Wild Bill Hickok, his life, and the pioneer period in which he lived, in a swift-moving, action-crammed book.
