Born in Troy, New York, in 1837, Hickok grew up in a poor family. He left home at a young age and worked as a stagecoach driver, a Pony Express rider, and a buffalo hunter. In 1855, he joined the army and fought in the Indian Wars. After the war, Hickok became a lawman and worked as a sheriff in several Kansas towns. He also became a professional gambler and gunfighter, and he quickly gained a reputation as one of the deadliest men in the West.

In 1876, Hickok was hired as a scout for General George Custer's expedition against the Sioux Indians. Hickok survived the Battle of Little Bighorn, but he was killed in a poker game in Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1876. He was just 39 years old.

He was a loyal friend and a devoted husband, and he always tried to do what he thought was right.
