WILD BILL HICKOK

                         1837-1876

      Once killed a grizzly in hand-to-hand com-

    bat armed with only a hunting knife, although

   he nearly died and almost lost an arm.  Shot in

  the back and killed by Jack McCall while playing

  poker.  At the time he was holding Ace's and

  eights which has come to be known as "The dead

  man's hand."

 

               CALAMITY JANE

                       1852-1903

       Known for being as tough as any man

   she actually worked at one time as a scout

   for General Custer.  Companion of Wild 

   Bill's, some say on a  romantic level, 

   which may explain Bill's risk-taking with

   his  own life.
