Historical Background[]

WildBill2

Avon's version of Wild Bill.

Hickock had a range of jobs during his life in the west, from stagecoach driver to actor to scout for General George A. Custer. He is most notorious for his life as a lawman and gunfighter, and for being assassinated during a poker game in the dangerous town of Deadwood.

Hickock was a highly skilled and extremely deadly gunfighter. At one point he was arrested for killing a man in a duel, but he was acquitted. He killed quite a few men in his lifetime.
