"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."

“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.
