Description

We know Wild Bill Hickok best as a figure from the Old West, but Paul Ashdown and Ed Caudill talk with Chris Mackowski about Wild Bill in the Civil War, popular media, myth, and memory too.

You can find information about the newest book in the Engaging the Civil War Series, Imagining Wild Bill: James Butler Hickok in War, Media, and Memory, which delves deeper into the life and memory of this historical figure.
