Deadman's Hand: The Wild Bill Hickok Project
Join our journey as we investigate the original and definitive Wild West gunfighter. Hickok's actual life defied the stereotypes of his legend as much as it lived up to them. We will be examining Hickok through a lens of scrutiny as we attempt to separate fact from fiction. We delve into the McCanles Massacre, one of the West’s most mysterious gunfights, among other key moments in Hickok’s life. We will also be viewing him through the eyes of a man who has been impacted personally by Wild Bill's life: my dad, Jerry Allan, who has portrayed Hickok on stage and written and sung songs about him for the past 35 years. Subscribe to our newsletter to follow the progress of our multimedia project, including our new docudrama series, starring Jerry Allan!
