## Resource

In a dusty Missouri town square on July 21, 1865, Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt faced off in a legendary duel sparked by a simple debt. Firing nearly simultaneously, Hickok’s bullet struck true—Tutt fell dead. Arrested and put on trial, Hickok walked free after a swift jury verdict. The story exploded across the nation, cementing Hickok’s fame and setting the stage for the mythic Wild West. From marshal to gambler, Hickok’s life was a whirlwind of bullets and cards—ending in 1876 when he was shot dead while playing poker, clutching the infamous “dead man’s hand”: aces and eights.
