    About this audiobook

    Wild Bill Hickok was a man of strong character - a colorful and imposing
    personality with a single-mindedness that made him stand out and
    attract much attention. Not one of his friends or peers considered him
    in a bad light, as this quote from his friend Captain Jack Crawford
    states:

    “…Wild Bill had his faults, grievous ones, perhaps… He
    would get drunk, gamble, and indulge in the general licentiousness
    characteristic of the border in the early days, yet even when full of
    the vile libel of the name of whiskey which was dealt over the bars at
    exorbitant prices, he was gentle as a child, unless aroused to anger by
    intended insults. He was loyal in his friendship, generous to a fault,
    and invariably espoused the cause of the weaker against the stronger one
    in a quarrel.”

    A striking and handsome figure, soft-spoken and
    courteous by nature, easy-going and friendly, he would go out of his way
    to help a friend in need. But, when roused to anger, and his patience
    tested, he was a man to be feared, who would meet his foes with
    overwhelming force, skill and confidence. A fearless and ruthless
    gunfighter.

    Wild Bill - The Story of James Butler Hickok is a
    true story of the man, the lawman and the fearless gunfighter who made
    his inevitable and famous mark in the Old West, and passed into legend.
