Thus began the reputation that made him a marked man to every gunslinger in the Wild West. James Butler Hickock was known across the frontier as a soldier, Union spy, scout, lawman, gunfighter, gambler, showman, and actor. He crossed paths with General Custer and Buffalo Bill Cody, as well as Ben Thompson and other young toughs gunning for the sheriff with the quickest draw west of the Mississippi." -- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220210. 600 1 $a Hickok, Wild Bill, $d 1837-1876. 650 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z West (U.S.) 650 $a Peace officers $z West (U.S.) $v Biography. 651 $a West (U.S) $v Biography. 651 $a West (U.S) $x History $y 1860-1890. 655 7 $a Biographies. 655 7 $a Biographies. 941 $a 2 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20240210010758.0 952 $l CLPC792 $d 20220602010805.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62520AFAE23911EC9D80461122ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
