His contemporaries called him Wild Bill, and newspapermen and
others made him a legend in his own time. Among western characters
only General George Armstrong Custer and Buffalo Bill Cody are as
readily recognized by the general public. In writing this
biography, Joseph G. Rosa has expressed the hope that "Hickok
emerges as a man and not a legend."
For this comprehensive revision of his earlier biography of Wild
Bill the author was allowed to work from newly available materials
in the possession of the Hickok family. He also discovered new
material pertaining to Wild Bill's Civil War exploits and his
service as a marshal and found the pardon file of his murderer,
John McCall. Additional, rare photographs of Wild Bill are
published here for the first time. The results of Rosa's additional
research make this second edition the best biography of Wild Bill
likely to be written for years to come.
