Magazine Archives:Wild West

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse resist the U.S. Army. Wild Bill Hickok takes a bullet in Deadwood. George Custer rides to the Little Bighorn River. These iconic figures of the American frontier, and many more, appear in Wild West magazine along with fascinating lesser-known characters like “Texas Jack” Omohundro, who made it cool to be a cowboy, and Lillian Smith, a sharpshooter who could match Annie Oakley. Award-winning authors and photos galore make reliving the history, lore, and culture of America’s most thrilling era a joy ride.
