Wild Bill HIckok and the Journal Written by a Young Gunslinger

The author of a new book about Wild Bill Hickok offers an insight into Hickok's final six weeks, like no other book has ever done. Dan Goldstein, the author of "Wild Bill Hickok, The True Story About His Final Six Weeks" tells us in detail what happened in those final six weeks. Based on  a journal Mr. Goldstein had uncovered we learn more about Hickok than we ever knew.

The journal was written by a young, 16 year old, gunslinger "wanna be" Nathan Bernard, who strikes up a father/son relationship with Wild Bill until Hickok is gunned down in Deadwood. 

Mr. Goldstein learned of the existence of this journal and was given permission to see, but not touch the contents, so he made pages and pages of notes. The owners of the journal at the time were James, Bernard's son and grandson, Butler who provide Goldstein with a careful viewing of the diary, using gloves to handle the book. They also provided newspaper clippings and stories about Hickok handed down to them over the years.

The book is a composite of the diary, clippings and the stories told by James and Butler - By the way Hickok's real name was James Butler Hickok.
