Grave of Wild Bill Hickok in Mount Moriah Cemetery – Deadwood, South Dakota USA


James Butler Hickok (May 27, 1837 – August 2, 1876) was a legendary figure in the American Wild West. After fighting in the union army during the civil war he became a legendary army scout and later lawman and gunfighter. He killed without hesitation or regret and was an excellent shot with no conscience to slow him down. He poured his whiskey with his left hand, leaving his right free for sudden action and always sat facing the door in case of an attempted surprise attack. He now permanently resides in a prominently marked grave in Mt. Moriah Cemetery overlooking the city.
