Deadwood, South Dakota Revealed - About WILD BILL HICKOK |
 | | James Butler Hickok, son, and fourth of six children, of William Alonzo and Polly (Butler) Hickok, was born in Homer (Troy Grove), La Salle Co., Illinois on 27 May 1837. |
 | | Bill was Utter's "pardner," and I was introduced at once. |
 | | At the trial it was proved that the murdered was hired to do his work by gamblers who feared the time when better citizens should appoint Bill the champion of law and order--a post which he formerly sustained in Kansas border life, with credit to his manhood and his courage. |
