Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Making of Wild Bill Hickok takes readers deep into the crucible of the 19th-century American frontier to chronicle the dramatic early life of James Butler Hickok before he became a household name. Blending meticulous historical research with dynamic narrative storytelling modeled after Ernest Hemingway's concept of creative nonfiction, the book traces Hickok's journey from his abolitionist upbringing in Illinois and perilous service on the Underground Railroad through the explosive border conflicts of 'Bleeding Kansas' and his audacious espionage as a Union scout during the Civil War. Rather than presenting a flat archetype of good versus evil, this volume examines the intricate contradictions of Hickok's character-his unyielding nerve, vanity, quick temper, personal code of honor, and genuine frontier skill.The narrative centers on the critical moments that forged the 'Wild Bill' legend, highlighted by the fateful September 1865 meeting in Springfield, Missouri, between Hickok and Colonel George Ward Nichols. From the historic quick-draw duel on the Springfield square against Davis Tutt to the infamous 1867 Harper's New Monthly Magazine article that sparked a national media frenzy, the book illuminates the razor-thin line between authentic history and sensationalized myth. Culminating in his violent, high-stakes tenure as a peacekeeper and deputy marshal in Hays City, this work delivers a vivid, illustrated account of how an ordinary farm boy was hammered into the quintessential gunslinger of American folklore.…
