Billy The Kid Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid Wild Bill Hickok Wyatt Earp

Join author Bryan Burrough as he begins telling the epic story of the Gunfighter Era, the years between 1865 and 1901, when Old West figures such as Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp became famous for something unusual in 19th century America: Shooting other Americans. From Wild Bill Hickok to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, learn the true stories of the troubled men who left behind the frontier’s blood-soaked history and in the process created an American legend.
