He shot McCanles when the man came into the dugout Bill was in -- he shot when he, Bill, was behind a curtain and McC couldn't see him. McC's young son was a witness to this.

He was originally called "Duck Bill" because his upper lip protruded. It was not a wise thing to call him as he got older.

As a peace officer he wasn't the brightest star in the heavens. Actually, much of his reputation was the product of dime novelists.

Jack McCall, like Bob Ford, wasn't appreciated for what he'd done and like Ford came to a bad end.

James B. Hitchock would be spinning in his grave if he knew that Martha Jane Canary was buried anywhere near him. Seems like there's some thought that she might have provided ol' Wild Bill with a certain social disease -- and he didn't like her anyway.

Hickock was one of the last shootists to use cap-and-ball revolvers instead of cartridge guns.

Now if you want to talk about someone interesting -- check out Elfego Baca or Bill Pickett or Isom P. Olive. Unlike the Earps (also known as "The Fighting Pimps") and Hitchcock, these are three folks who didn't make the dime novels.
