Wild Bill and a Boy Named Charlie

For an 11-year old boy named Charlie Black that day had finally arrived. The story of Wild Bill Hickok and his adventures in the Wild West had been told countless times to the young boys of Mendota, Illinois. And now he was actually here, the hero of the town, James Butler Wild Bill Hickok. Charlie could hardly believe his ears when he heard from Wild Bill’s own lips the true stories of his adventures, from scouting for the Cavalry to fighting off Cheyenne warriors, the true story of Wild Bill.
