Description
This as you can see is the bust of Wild Bill Hickok. Two days ago I wrote that this is in Boot Hill above Tombstone, it is not. The cemetery is Mt Moriah which is above Deadwood so I humbly appologise and next time I will look at my notes.
Moving on - Wild Bill was shot dead in a saloon in Deadwood and the plaque below the bust reads:-
J B Hickok died August 2. 1876 by pistol shot aged 39 years. Custer was lonely without him.
Erected by J H Riordan of N. Y. 1891.

An excellent pic of this piece of modelling.
Nice capture.
From the photos I have seen of him it seems a very good likeness. Isn't it ironic that rotating just 1 letter would calm this old cowboy right down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well spotted Andrew you beat me to that one and for those who are wondering what is meant then turn the 'W' through 180 degrees!!
If the bust were here in the UK he would be know as Gone Bill because he would have been nicked by the scrap thiefs
Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.
beautiful and sharp capture
excellent captured !!
Jay, did you do any gambeling in Deadwood while you were there? Great shot.

So, let's see, counting on fingers and toes, George Custer only had to wait about 39 days for Bill...assuming they went to the same place. lol. I see they liked wearing their hair in the same style too. Outstanding photo of this handsome bronze statue!
