Killing Wild Bill Hickok

Deadwood, Dakota Territory, 1876. A town of gold, grit, and gamblers. Among its rogues and prospectors walked a legend: Wild Bill Hickok, the Civil War scout turned gunslinger turned gambler. But on August 2nd, fate caught up to the myth. In a smoky saloon, with a hand of cards and his back to the door, Hickok was shot dead by a coward with a grudge. This episode unpacks the gripping true story of the man behind the legend and how the Old West's most feared gunman met his end not in a duel, but in an ambush.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
