For your consideration is this 1926 First Edition of “Wild Bill Hickok: The Prince of Pistoleers” by Frank J. Wilstach, Garden City Publishing, New York. Born James Butler Hickok, "Wild Bill" was a gunfighter, lawman, and American frontier folk hero. He was a Union soldier and spy during the Civil War, and later worked as a lawman in Kansas and Nebraska. Hickok earned his nickname after bravely breaking up a lynch mob during the war. He became famous for his marksmanship, acting, and gambling, and was involved in several notable shootouts. Wild Bill was a fascinating personality to all who knew him. The mere mention of his name never failed to bring a crash of brasses from the orchestra. His friends never ceased to chant his praises as an honest man, an incredibly accurate pistol shot, and an individual who was without fear in the presence of danger. Frank Jenners Wilstach (1865-1933) was an American theatrical business manager, press agent, author of many articles, most of which were about Wild Bill Hickok, and this book "Wild Bill Hickok, the Prince of Pistoleers".
