Last Hand
from The American Story
It is hard to know where facts give way to legend in the case of Wild Bill; but some of the things he did in truth, as a frontiersman and lawman, may have exceeded the legends or at least deserved to become legends. The case of Wild Bill seems custom made for the immortal and mystifying words of the editor of the Shinbone Star, in the classic John Ford film "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence": "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
