James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok (1837-1876) --  A gunman and lawman, Hickok served as a constable in the 1860’s and as town marshal of Abilene, Kansas in 1872.  He was credited with killing thirty to eighty-five men including Sam Strawhorn, Bill Mulvey, Bill Thompson, and David McCanles.  On August 2, 1876, he was killed by an alcoholic drifter named Jack McCall while playing poker in Nuttall's No. 10 Saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota.  When he was killed, he was holding a poker hand of aces and eights, thereafter known as the Dead Man’s Hand.
