---James Butler Hickok (May 27, 1837 – August 2, 1876), better known as Wild Bill Hickok, even though his name was James, was a legendary figure in the American Old West. His skills as a gunfighter and scout, along with his reputation as a lawman, provided the basis for his fame,although some of his exploits are fictionalized. Hickok's horse was called Black Nell, and he owned two Colt 1851 Navy Revolvers.
---Hickok came to the West as a stagecoach driver, then became a lawman in the frontier territories of Kansas and Nebraska. He fought in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and gained publicity after the war as a scout, marksman, and professional gambler. Between his law-enforcement duties and gambling, which easily overlapped, Hickok was involved in several notable shootouts, and was ultimately killed while playing poker in a Dakota Territory saloon.
