The story

At about 4:15 pm on August 2, 1876, drifter Jack McCall walked up behind James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok as he played poker — seated, unusually for him, with his back to the door — and shot him once in the back of the head. McCall was acquitted by a hasty miners' court, then re-tried in a legitimate federal court (Deadwood being unorganized territory, double jeopardy didn't apply) and hanged in 1877. The original wood-frame saloon burned in Deadwood's Great Fire of September 26, 1879.

Everything that was here

Did you know?

The famous "dead man's hand" (black aces and eights) comes directly from this shooting.
The bullet passed through Hickok's head and wounded a bystander, Capt. William Massie, in the wrist.
This original site at 624 Main is a DIFFERENT address from the modern "Old Style Saloon No. 10" (657 Main), which only borrows the name. A gift shop in an 1898 building stands here now.
