George Ward Nichols was born in Tremont, Maine, on 21st June, 1831. He worked as a journalist until the outbreak of the American Civil War. Nichols joined the Union Army and served on the staff of General John C. Fremont. Later he served under General William Sherman and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He published The Story of the Great March in 1865. After the war Nichols became a journalist. He visited Kansas and in 1866 interviewed Wild Bill Hickok about his exploits as a gunfighter. The article appeared in the February, 1867, edition of Harper's New Monthly Magazine. Newspapers such as the Leavenworth Daily Conservative, Kansas Daily Commonwealth, Springfield Patriot and the Atchison Daily Champion quickly pointed out that the article was full of inaccuracies and that Hickok was lying when he claimed he had killed "hundreds of men". After the heavy attacks he received for his article in the Harper's New Monthly Magazine Nichols moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and concentrated on writing about music. He also became president of the Cincinnati College of Music. Books by Nichols include Art Education Applied to Industry (1877) and Pottery (1878). George Ward Nichols died on 15th September, 1885.

The Wild Bill Hickok – Davis Tutt shootout was a gunfight that occurred on July 21, 1865 in the town square of Springfield, Missouri between Wild Bill Hickok and cowboy Davis Tutt. It is one of the few recorded instances in the Old West of a one-on-one pistol quick-draw duel in a public place, in the manner later made iconic by countless dime novels, radio dramas, and Western films such as High Noon.[1] The first story of the shootout was detailed in an article in Harper's Magazine in 1867, making Hickok a household name and folk hero.

Wild Bill Hickok .... Born James Butler Hickok  May 27, 1837  Troy Grove, Illinois, US  Died  August 2, 1876 (aged 39
Deadwood, Dakota Territory, US
Cause of death    Murdered by Jack McCall.   Resting place    Mount Moriah Cemetery,  Occupation    Lawman, gunfighter, gambler, Signature, Wild Bill Hickock, James Butler Hickok (May 27, 1837 – August 2, 1876)—known as "Wild Bill" Hickok—was a folk character of the American Old West. Some of his exploits as reported at the time were fiction but his skill as a gunfighter and gambler provided the basis for his fame, along with his reputation as a lawman. Hickok was born and raised on a farm in rural Illinois. He went west at age 18 as a fugitive from justice, first working as a stagecoach driver, then as a lawman in the frontier territories of Kansas and Nebraska. He fought (and spied) for the Union Army during the American Civil War and gained publicity after the war as a scout, marksman, actor and professional gambler. Hickok was involved in several notable shootouts. He was shot from behind and killed while playing poker in a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory (now South Dakota) by an unsuccessful gambler, Jack McCall. The card hand which he held at the time of his death (aces and eights) has come to be known as the "Dead Man's Hand".
