Tom Clavin is a master at telling biographical history of the Old West!

After his best seller on Dodge city he returns with the true story of "Wild Bill Hickck" (real name James Butler Hickok)

This book is filled with true stories, painstakingly researched, and some of the neatest pictures you'd never would have known existed.

What's the deal about getting the name "Wild Bill"? Was he an outlaw like some think? Is it true he took a bath every day? Did you know he crossed paths Buffalo Bill Cody, Frank and Jesse James, John Westly Hardin? What's the story with Wild Bill and Calamity Jane? And of course his death when he was playing poker and was shot from behind while holding aces and 8's!

The West comes to life with Tom Clavin's new book on "Wild Bill" Hickcock!

Also here is the link to my interview with Tom from April of 2017 on his book about

The Latest from Tom Clavin

The inside cover of the book, we talk about how the publishers came up with it.

It was a true story I had never heard before. Between 1900 and 1907 a Bengal Tiger was found to have caused the deaths of 436 people in Northern India and Nepal.

The book starts off with the reason why it became a man-eater, then the horror of what went through the minds of the citizens of both countries, and the man called in to track and kill the Champawat Tiger.

Fascinating research by Dane Huckelbridge and great writing almost makes it feel like a novel...but folks, it's all TRUE!
