I really think Wild Bill ranked reeeal high up amongst the self promotors of his day. There was almost always another side to most of the Wild Bill stories that seemed to get discounted by the dime novel crowd in favor of WBs version. Even though I give him a much lower heroe statutus than other less known lawmen, such as C.P. Owens, anyone must admit that Wild Bill new arms and he knew survival with them. I rellegate the long barrel pistols carried in fancy sashes to showboating for the camera and fans while serious gun toting would have always called for holsters. It would not have taken a smart guy like Wild Bill long to figure that those pitiful little sights on the Navy would serve as perfect snags for his supposed sash draw and fokes like Luke Short or JW Hardin wouldnt have waited for him to go home and change. Not that it would have matterd much as ole JW would have laid him out in his best suit on any day of the week. That was one boy whose reputation as a gunman wasnt created after the fact to make WB look tougher...... WOW
