Heres some information you may not know...

"The First Meeting of Jack McCall and Wild Bill Hickok", Deadwood Magazine, August 2001.

It has been well documented, but is of little known fact today, that Wild Bill Hickok and Jack McCall actually played cards together just the night before McCall shot and killed Hickok in the No. 10 Saloon on the afternoon of August 2, 1876. McCall was using an alias name of Bill Sutherland, and lost heavily to Wild Bill, apparently to the point of actually being broke. Hickok generously offered McCall loose change for decent meal out of sympathy for the young miner, which Jack declined to accept.

The story is a fictional account based on facts made available from this first meeting between the two men, whom were destined for immortal folklore and history the following day.
