It is printed on much better paper than the Chicago edition. The author claims to have known Wild Bill Hickok personally, but he continues the Nichols legend about the McCanles 'fight.' He says that the stage company sent Hickok to Rock Creek Station from St. Louis to take care of the desperate situation. That statement is incorrect.
