"As they were leaving for home, a white man proposed that they race
horses for a ten-dollar wager. Geronimo liked nothing better than
horse racing but his weight was a handicap. Often he pressed his
small wife into service; the Apaches long remembered how she tied
her hair in a tight knot when she rode. This time he looked around for
an Apache boy and found him at bat in a baseball game. He hit a
homer just as Geronimo arrived. The old man raced after him all
around the diamond and caught him at home plate."
From "Cochise and Geronimo" by Edwin Sweeney & Angie Debo
“His Last Act (As a Lawman)”
40 x 24
This painting shows James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok in
his last act as a lawman. On the night of October 5,
1871, Hickok, then Marshall of Abilene, Kansas, heard
a gunshot coming from the direction of the Alamo
Saloon. When he went over to investigate he found
gambler Phil Coe standing in the street, a pistol in his
hand. Hickok asked Coe if it was he who had fired the
shot. Coe said that it had been him and that he was
shooting at a stray dog. Almost instantly Coe raised
his gun and fired off two quick shots at Hickok; both
missed. Hickok pulled his guns and placed two bullets
in Coe's upper body,killing him. As Coe toppled to the
dirt, Hickok saw a man carrying a pistol running at him
from the crowd. In the dim light of the kerosene lamps
Hickok didnot recognize the man as his friend, Mike
Williams; all he saw was another adversary. Hickok
fired again, killing Williams as he ran between Hickok
and Coe. Hickok took Mike's body and laid it out on a
pool table in the Alamo Saloon. The people of Abilene
then realized that a gunfighter was no longer the
solution to their city's problems and Hickok was
released; he never worked as a lawman again.
