“Wild Bill” Hickok, born James Butler Hickok (b. 5-27-1837 in Troy Grove, IL; d. 8-2-1876; Deadwood, SD), is a legendary figure in the American Old West. His fictionalized adventures were inspired by his skills as a gunfighter, scout, and lawman. An interesting fact - Hickok's father ran a station of the Underground Railroad.
Calamity Jane, nee Martha Jane Cannary, (5-1-1852; Princeton, MO; d. 8-1-1903) lead a colorful frontier life. She claimed she and Wild Bill were “close” and managed to get herself buried next to him - the truth may never be known, she might have been what we would call today, a stalker.
