On Cowboys: Wild Bill Hickok

Since his dramatic death in August 1876, James Butler Hickok with his pair of 1851 Navy Colts has captivated our imagination of this mythic gunfighter. In this episode of Cowboys, we explore the saga of Wild Bill and about a gunfight that is the mother of all classic walk down gunfights portrayed by Hollywood in countless western movies. With the help of Stuart “Tame Bill” Barber, we also recreate this 75 yard shot made by Hickok which killed Davis Tutt in the town square in Springfield, Missouri.
