I've been to Deadwood and have seen Wild Bill's grave. It's often covered in small (airline style) liquor bottles and coins in tribute to his memory.

My favorite quote from Bill was...being asked how he shot so effectively he stated "Just take your time..as fast as you can."

[GordonFalt]

You answered my question I was thinking the other night after watching hours of your videos, yet again. ;-) keep it up wild Hickok45

[bobclifton]

We have a couple of generations out there who don't give a rip about history.

[czechmate]

Some how I always thought that’s how the name came about.

[GShileikis]

Well that not a big surprise really, but it's nice to know for certain 🙂

[Baltimoreed]

Been to Deadwood. Cool town with real history. .45 is my favorite too.

[jonjacobjingleheimerschmid]

I was at Deadwood a few weeks ago and I went to that saloon. Also went to the cemetery where he was laid to rest.

Mr.H-.45, Going to test my memory here! Wasn't it Jack McCall who murdered Wild Bill? To this day I try to sit facing the door wherever I go! I'll wager no rowdies or ruffians start any rucktions in your neck of the woods! Blsgs, gg 🙏🙏✝️✝️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋☝️☝️☝️

I always assumed it was your SASS/Cowboy Action Alias, or some version of it

[TheMisgnomer]

You're also quite a character and I mean that in a good way😂

[curtismatsune]

For the first time in my life I guessed something like this right.

[FreeYourMind]
