Buffalo
Bill Cody
William
Frederick Cody
Buffalo
Bill’s show business career began at the age of
26, on December 17, 1872 in Chicago. Ned Buntline (The man
that immortalized Cody, Hickock, and scores of other Wild
West personalities in his dime novels) had written a play
called "The Scouts of the Prairie". Cody appeared
in it, as did another well-known scout - Texas Jack Omohundro,
as well as Buntline.
Reviews
of Cody's acting was mixed but he was a natural at charming
the audience, and actor or not, Buffalo Bill was a showman.
By the time Bill died in 1917, he laid the ground work for
the modern rodeo and was the most recognizable person on earth. More

In
his early twenties Masterson was serving as an army scout,
out of Sweetwater, Texas, when he got in a fight over a dancehall
girl. His adversary was killed with a bullet thru the heart,
the luckless girl died as well, and Masterson was badly wounded
in the leg; which caused him to limp thereafter. He took to
using a large silver knobbed cane to assist his stride, and
when he took up his trade of being a Peace Officer, the cane
was often used on an unruly cowboy's head. In recognition
of the new sport of Baseball, he was nicknamed Bat; because
of his "batting" of skulls with his walking stick.
Friend to Luke Short,Charley Bassett,
the Earp's, and Doc Holliday, Bat was often seen in his later
years, at boxing matches in the New York area as a sportswriter
for the New York Morning Telegraph. More

The
prototype of the old west pistol fighter, Bill Hickok had
the size, the sad eyes and the heroic exploits to make an
impression on most any body. When Dave Tutt bragged
he could, "Shoot a bird on the wing",
in Springfield, in 1865, Bill Hickok was quick to reply, "Did
the crow have a pistol? Was he shooting back? I will be."
There's
a number of reasons people say Hickok and Tutt fought, but
what ever it was, this is about the only actual documented
face off in a dusty street in Old West History. And so on
July 21, 1865, in the town square of Springfield, Missouri,
Hickok shot dead Davis Tutt, Jr.

Wyatt
Earp
The
Story-book Marshal
"Fast is fine - but accuracy is final."
Wyatt's
Marshal Badge
Wyatt
lived to be 80 and died in 1929 - 6 months before the stock
market crash that started the Great Depression. In his later
years he was befriended by the early Hollywood Movie Stars
and was known to the western director John
Ford {Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine, The Man
Who Shot Liberty Valance}. Ford may have been thinking
of Wyatt Earp when he said, "When the fact and
legend become interweaved, print the legend."

Doc
Holliday
J.H.
Holliday - Dentist
Likely
the most dangerous pistol fighter of his generation, nobody
cared much for Doc and he didn't care at all for anyone else.
Except for Wyatt and the other Earp brothers, and their friends
like Bat Masterson. Doc declared he'd, "Die with
me boots on. . . .". But as he succumbed to tuberculosis
in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, the last words he uttered as
he looked at his feet, were, "I'll be damned."
Doc's boots were off.

Black
Bart
The
Outlaw Poet
Bart's
first stagecoach robbery was reported in August of 1877. His
method was simple - he'd wait for the stagecoach around a
tight corner, with flour sack over his face (with two holes
cut/ripped for the eyes) derby on his head, and shotgun in
his arms, wearing a long, linen duster. He'd exchange the
contents of the strong box for a copy of some poetry and always
signed it, Black Bart, PO-8. Bart was eventually caught -
did his time - then disappeared into the pages of old west
lore.

George
Armstrong Custer
Colonel
U.S. 7th Cavalry
Not
only was Ulysses Grant a real military genius, he was an astute
politician. In 1875 President Grant knew there was a possibility
that George Custer could be the Democratic Candidate for the
Presidency in the next election. Grant knew Custer; knew he
was charismatic, liked to talk, and knew how to do it. Everything
the President wasn't. So President Grant had Custer transferred
out west, knowing that there'd be a good chance Custer 'd
get himself killed. Custer couldn't help himself, and on June
25, 1876 his headstrong, break neck attack methods sealed
his fate, and that of his command against the 2000 or more
Sioux and Cheyenne at the Little Big Horn or Greasy Grass
River.

Billy
The Kid
William
H. Bonney II
He
was twenty-one and boldly bragging he'd killed 21 men, as
he stood trial for his life. Hard men sat and stood all about
him, with sidearms on their hips and many with rifles in their
hands. Barely with reason to shave, the wild young man was
found quilty and on April 8, 1881, was sentenced by Judge
Warren Bristol, to hang by the neck, until, "dead,
dead, dead." On April 28, Pat Garrett went off
to buy lumber for the gallows, and Billy went to work. There's
three different stories on how Billy got his hands on a firearm
that morning, but get one he did, and then The Kid cheerfully
shot Deputies Bell, and Ollinger, and escaped the makeshift
jail at Lincoln, New Mexico. Pat Garrett later said,
"I knew now that I would have to kill the Kid. We both
knew that it must be one or the other of us, if we ever met."
Billy was dead barely 2 months later, from a bullet in the
back from Garrett hiding in ambush. Garrett's
Badge.

Legends
of the West Poster Collection
Some
Old West Personalities just refuse to
fade into the history books. Men like
Wild Bill Hickok (or Hickock - depending
on which reference book you use) , Buffalo
Bill Cody, George Armstrong Custer and
the US 7th Cavalry have more acclaim now
- then they did when alive. And they were
dang famous when they walked the Old West.

The
Wild Bunch
William
Carver, Kid Curry, The Sundance Kid, The Tall Texan, Butch
Cassidy.
The
Wild Bunch was a loose association of up to a dozen outlaws
who banded together under the leadership of Bunch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid to rob banks, trains, and rustle horses
and cattle. In November of 1900 – five members of the
Wild Bunch meet up in Fort Worth, Texas, to celebrate a good
haul on their last robbery. They all went and outfitted themselves
in new duds from top to bottom, and then amazingly make the
stupid decision to have their photo taken at the John Swartz
Studio. The picture of Sundance, William R. Carver (Will Casey),
Ben Kilpatrick (The Tall Texan), Harvey Logan (Kid Curry),
and Robert Leroy Parker (Butch Cassidy) soon finds itself
in the hands of the Pinkerton's, and the chase was on. Not
long after the Fort Worth Five photograph is taken, the gang
splits up, with the Pinkerton's following Bunch, Sundance,
and Etta Place to South America. The
Sundance Kid in Calgary.

John
Wesley Hardin Poster
The
Terror of Texas
Wes
Hardin was so mean there's a story about Hardin staying at
a boarding house - packed full of men. One of the men in the
other room was snoring hard enough to bend the walls, and
Hardin yelled over for culprit to cease and desist, or face
the consequences. The man apologized, then an hour later,
started right in snoring again. Wes yanked out his colt revolver
and let loose. Did the man die? - who know's; no one's even
sure the story ever took place - but with Hardin being as
mean as a rattler, it could have. . . . More
