Legends of the Old West WILD BILL HICKOK Ep. 4 | “Marshal of Abilene”
A month after Hickok becomes marshal of Abilene, two Texas gunfighters, Phil Coe and Ben Thompson, start a saloon called the Bull’s Head Tavern. The rowdy joint creates tension all summer in 1871 and leads to a dramatic — and tragic — shootout at the end of the cattle season. Add Texas outlaw John Wesley Hardin to the mix, and Hickok has his hands full in Abilene.
