Wild Bill Hickok was a celebrity before there ever was a Hollywood. And he was dead before he was forty.

Now Richard Matheson, Spur Award-winning author of Journal of the Gun Years, delves into the life and times of James Butler Hickok . . . gunfighter, U.S. marshal, legend. The cruelty that turned him violent. The fears that drove him. And the historic events that cause his name to live on more than century later.

A compelling vision of the man behind the myth--and an unforgettable journey into the American frontier.
