- Few names associated with the old west are as recognizable as Wild Bill Hickok. And for good reason. In many ways, Wild Bill was the quintessential Westerner of the later 19th century. Wagon master, scout, soldier, spy, lawman, gambler, actor, and yeah…gunfighter. A man capable of extraordinary feats of daring and bravery, yet courteous and soft-spoken when left alone, and kind to children. One of the few frontiersmen who was willing to take his guns off and go toe to toe with anyone looking for a fight. But also, a man who - even by generous accounts - was a bit too quick when it came to pulling the trigger. He could cuss like a sailor, consorted with ladies of ill repute, and would rather gamble than eat. He was friends with other notable frontiersmen like Buffalo Bill Cody, George Armstrong Custer, Kit Carson, and Calamity Jane, and Inspired future legends like U.S. Marshal Bill Tilghman and countless others. A celebrity in his own time, Hickok continues to tickle the imagination of millions. From the early silent film era till now, everyone from Gary Cooper to Charles Bronson to Jeff Bridges, Sam Elliot, and Keith Carradine has portrayed this icon on the big screen. But who was Hickok really? What sorta man was he? As with many notorious characters of the old west, much of the legend is built on exaggerated claims and outright lies. But in Hickok’s case, the truth is even more fascinating fiction. #wildwest #history #western

Kenny Powers narrating is the cherry on top
I live in Deadwood I really appreciate this. It's nice to acknowledge Hickok on the anniversary of his death. I love this picture also. Hickok had brothers and sisters he would send his brother a picture from time to time and tell him don't show Mom. He had obviously been growing his hair out and living a little wild
Congratulations, from drunky to drunky. Lol. 3 years sober last November. I was a morning noon night every day drunk. At work, etc. 100 proof hot damn. 😂 keep it up!
Just getting into this video. Very cool. One of my heroes. A TRUE pistolero.
Always a highlight whenever a new episode premieres sir!!
YAHOOOOO another wild west extravaganza
Please more long form like this! I'll always be disappointed that it's not bloody beaver anymore, but that's my opinion, and you've gotta do for you and yours. I'll be here either way bro! Road tripping from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania today and me and the missus thoroughly enjoyed. Much love brother.
So glad to find your site. This will make my 2 hour commute so much better. I will figure out the buy the coffee thing. Thanks again from Alabama
This is by far the best Western Channel on the TUBE...TOP 5..GREAT JOB
Great show, can not wait for Part Two. Thanks a whole bunch, Josh. Stay well.
Love more indepth multi episode formats. Hope you and the family are well.
Have you ever seen Jeff Bridges' version of Hickok? My favorite "You should know better than mess with another man's hat!" Grew up with "White Buffalo" with Bronson but I think Bridges played him best.
Always good to hear
Love the podcast man, sorry you lost the original data for this episode. It was great none the less, your commentary is very educational while at the same time making it hilarious at times. All around my favorite podcast.
When the target shoots back, that invokes the FIBSA "Fuck, I'm Beeing Shot At" response, wich would most likely effect ones ability to shoot straight and true on the intended target.
Gotta agree about the bear story. Severing a bears jugular, when it's actively mauling you isn't, a fight winner. It's still free to keep mauling you, until it's oil pressure reaches zero. That'll take a few minutes, which is way more than enough for it to kill you, several times.
Thank you mate. I love this guy. He is a man both great and flawed. Of his time and taken too early. Thanks and well done from the land down under.
Really looking forward to listening to this one man! I'd love to hear your thought on Calamity Jane one day.
Love your personality bud 😂🤘🏻👍🏻💪🏻💯 & as always 🍻 to another great episode. I've been binge watching & it's really good stuff.
I first heard your Arkansas Dave show then started at the beginning to get current. Don't be embarrassed by your early episodes, they are entertaining and creative, and got me hooked. BB4L \m/ and Endeavor to persevere.
