James Butler Hickok (The Young Riders)

listen, I tried.

Awhile back, I started watching this old series called The Young Riders. Not a new show or even a well known show by any means, but it's about a group of orphaned teens who work as Riders for the Pony Express. It's a fun show with mostly likable characters that share some unlikable qualities. It's a little cheesy and dated, but overall it's a pleasant viewing experience. One of my favorite characters is the character based upon the real life wild-west legend/outlaw, Jimmy Hickok.Portrayed by a young Josh Brolin, he's a gunfighter with a bad reputation and a few demons to deal with. I decided I'd try to take a wack at it, and draw him. And whether it turned out or not, I still enjoyed the process.

On this day in 1876, James Butler Hickok, better known to us as Wild Bill Hickok, gunfighter and sheriff was shot dead in a saloon in the town of Deadwood.

Hickok never usually played poker with his back to the door, but on this day he did because there was no other chair available. As Hickok picked up his cards one Jack McCall came into the room and shot him in the back of the head. Why McCall did this nobody really knows, but McCall did lose to Hickok the previous day.

The hand Will Bill Hickok was holding was a pair of aces and eights, the fifth card is unknown - his grouping of cards is now known as Dead Man's Hand.

Allyn Ann McLerie and Doris Day in Calamity Jane (David Butler, 1953) Cast: Doris Day, Howard Keel, Allyn Ann McLerie, Philip Carey, Dick Wesson, Paul Harvey, Chubby Johnson, Gale Robbins. Screenplay: James O'Hanlon. Cinematography: Wilfrid M. Cline. Art direction: John Beckman. Film editing: Irene Morra. Songs: Sammy Fain, Paul Francis Webster. Doris Day had real cinematic presence, good comedy timing, and one of the sweetest singing voices of any star, with an ability to put a song over. I wish that she had been cast as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun (George Sidney, 1950) instead of the bumptious, brassy Betty Hutton, or as Nellie Forbush in South Pacific (Joshua Logan, 1958) instead of the blandly perky Mitzi Gaynor. But instead we have a string of somewhat undistinguished Warner Bros. musicals, culminating in Calamity Jane, which is an almost unabashed rip-off of Annie Get Your Gun, down to the casting of Howard Keel, who was Frank Butler in the 1950 film. Keel as Wild Bill Hickok and Day as Jane even get an insult-trading duet, "I Can Do Without You," that recalls "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" from the Irving Berlin musical. The Sammy Fain-Paul Francis Webster song score for Calamity Jane is of course nowhere near the equal of Berlin's, with only the Oscar-winning "Secret Love" lingering in anyone's memory, and that perhaps mostly because it has been adopted as a kind of LGBTQ anthem. The film itself has attracted a lot of attention because of its supposed queerness: It has a drag number, performed by Dick Wesson as the hapless Easterner who has been hired as a performer because his name, Francis, made the saloon owner think he was a woman, but most of the comment has been about the relationship between Jane and Katie Brown (Allyn Ann McLerie), who set up house together in a montage to the tune of "A Woman's Touch." Subtext aside, the movie is lively and energetic, and Day works her ass off in the role. Still, if you want a taste of what could have been, seek out the recording of Annie Get Your Gun that Day made with Robert Goulet as Hickok.

The Bullock Hotel

by Scott A. Johnson

Deadwood, South Dakota. The very name evokes images of the Old West, cowboys, and hard-drinking, hell-rising good times. Though t he ruffians of the past are gone, landmarks remind visitors of days gone by-especially in those places where the smell of cigar smoke and the sound of clinking poker chips still waft down the halls, and shadows shift ebb.

In one of these historic places-the Bullock Hotel-cowboys whose lives were cut short by their revelries continue the party in the afterlife. And lest the party get too out of control, steel-gray eyes cut through the darkness, stopping many in their tracks and sending chills down the spines of the living.

When Deadwood was still in its infancy, it gained a reputation for unbridled bawdiness. Miners, transients, gamblers, gunfighters, wild men, and prostitutes made up most of the town's population, making nights rowdy and, as often as not, soaked with blood. There was money to be made form the trade vice and sin, and for a time those who owned businesses simply counted the money coming in and paid little attention to their customers' antics. But when Jack McCall shot and killed James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok (McCall was supposedly seeking revenge for the death of his brother at Hickok's hands), th eneed for law and order became apparent.

Seth Bullock, who owned a successful hardware store in town, was appointed the first sheriff of Deadwood-a role he seemed made for. He cut an imposing figure: tall, with a stare that could, according to all accounts, stop fights without a word spoken. According to his grandson, Bullock could "outstare a made cobra or a rogue elephant." In fact, during his time as sheriff, Bullock never killed a single man. Yet his reputation and demeanor brought peace and order to the once rowdy town.

When fire broke out and claimed the Deadwood Hardware Store in 1894, Bullock bought the land and built a 64-room Bullock Hotel on its ruins at a cost of nearly $40,000. Construction took two years; but when the hotel finally opened, it was the finest of its day, with steam-heated rooms and a bathroom on every floor. It also boasted a 24-hour casino on the ground floor.

Bullock remained a colorful person for his entire life, enlisting with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders and winding up appointed by Roosevelt as the state marshal of South Dakota. When he died in 1919 of cancer, it was in room 211 of his beloved hotel. He was buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery alongside Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. However, soon after he died, it became clear that while his body may have been laid to rest, he wasn't about to leave the hotel that bore his name. And he wasn't the only one, either.

A Posse's Worth of Ghosts

Just how crowded with ghosts is the Bullock Hotel? More than you'd imagine. Some paranormal investigators and psychics have estimated at least thirty-seven separate entities. Few other hotels in the world can boast the kind of paranormal activity present in the Bullock, and many of the phenomena sound as if they come straight out of the movies-in this case, both old westerns and horror films.

Eight of the hotel's rooms have a history of strange happenings. Guests' items are often reported to have moved inexplicably from one place to another, while others have simply disappeared, only to be found later in other locations. Lights and electrical devices in the rooms have suddenly turned off and on, often when they're unplugged. The restaurant has also had its share of activity, with plates and glasses shaking, flying off the shelves, and smashing to the floor before guests' and employees' eyes. Even bar stools and cleaning carts move all by themselves, in full view of many witnesses.

Objects aren't the only things in the hotel that provide evidence of the unknown. The second and third floors report feeling a strong presence, often accompanied by phantom footsteps and even voices calling out guests' names in whispers. Some report hearing a low, lonely whistle coming down the hall, passing them and then fading as the unseen whistler goes about his way. Many declare that they have been tapped on the shoulder, and then turned, only to see an empty hallway.

Of the apparitions, the most frequently seen include shadows that dart in and out of the peripheral vision, leaving many witnesses with the uneasy feeling that they're being followed. Photographs taken in room 211, where Seth Bullock died, have often revealed misty apparitions hovering over the bed. There is even a little girl who people claim appears and disappears with alarming regularity in the hotel.

Seth's Spirit

By far the most often seen-and most famous-apparition is that of Seth Bullock himself. Those who see him never forget his icy stare and imposing demeanor. Whether he stalks the hallways to keep the peace or an eye on his investment, those who see him claim they couldn't mistake his gaze. Still, it seems that Bullock isn't always the gritty character he was in life. On at least one occasion, a child became lost in the hotel, and according to the boy, it was Sheriff Bullock who led him back to his room.

The oldest hotel in Deadwood, the Bullock Hotel is not only still open for business but was completely restored in the 1990s. There has never been any documentation of the times of year when paranormal phenomena occur in the hotel, and investigation performed in July 2003 yielded electromagnetic energy. However, because Bullock died in the month of September , it stands to reason that this would be the most likely time for visitors to brave the steely gaze of the Deadwood lawman.

As for the rest of the entities, sightings are both random and constant, depending on which apparitions decide to make their presence known. According to the staff and many guests, not a day goes by when something strange doesn't occur in Deadwood's most famous old hotel.

More in my Cigar Icon series: Earliest known photo (1863) of James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok with a lit cigar in one hand and a revolver in the other. He would have been in Springfield, Missouri then. I used to work on the public Square where a famous shootout took place the same year. He likely smoked Cubans at the poker table - which were in high demand, according to cigar historian Iain Gately. The stamp is US Scott #2869o from 1994. #cigars #cigarhistory #cubans #cubancigars19thcentury #cigaricon #colt1851navy #philately #usstamps #wildbillhickok #sdhistory (at Deadwood, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcbZmGOlko/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rest in peace, Wild Bill Hickok.  Born to abolitionist parents in Illinois (he later fought with the Jayhawkers in Kansas Territory), little James Hickok was tall and reedy (one nickname was Shanghai Bill), had a long nose and lips (another nickname was Duck Bill), and was a confirmed redhead, to boot.  Skirting on both sides of the law, his duel with Davis Tutt over a watch (and the affections of various affectionate women) in 1865 is the first recorded quick-draw duel in the Wild Wild West (Hickok was tried for murder and acquitted), but he worked as a marshal and sheriff throughout much of the West before entering that fateful poker game at Nuttal & Mann’s Saloon in Deadwood and being dealt that pair of aces and pair of eights--which incident occurred on this date in 1876 when Hickok was 39.
