{"product_id":"2940014450010","title":"Wild Bill Hickock","description":"Nook version of vintage magazine article originally printed in 1867. This is the article that started the legend of Wild Bill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eexcerpt -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBill stood six feet and an inch in his bright yellow moccasins. A deer-skin shirt, or frock it might be called, hung jauntily over his shoul¬ders, and revealed a chest whose breadth and depth were remarkable. These lungs had had growth in some twenty years of the free air of the Rocky Mountains. His small, round waist was girthed by a belt which held two of Colt's navy revolvers. His legs sloped gradually from the compact thigh to the feet, which were small, and turned inward as he walked. There was a singular grace and dignity of carriage about that figure which would have called your atten¬tion meet it where you would. The head which crowned it was now covered by a large som¬brero, underneath which there shone out a qui¬et, manly face; so gentle is its expression as he greets you as utterly to belie the history of its owner, yet it is not a face to be trifled with. The lips thin and sensitive, the jaw not too square, the cheek bones slightly prominent, a mass of fine dark hair falls below the neck to the shoulders. The eyes, now that you are in friendly intercourse, are as gentle as a woman's. In truth, the woman nature seems prominent throughout, and you would not believe that you were looking into eyes that have pointed the way to death to hundreds of men. Yes, Wild Bill with his own hands has killed hundreds of men. Of that I have not a doubt. \"He shoots to kill,\" as they say on the border.","brand":"history-bytes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070647746800,"sku":"2940014450010","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014450010_p0.jpg?v=1763608890","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014450010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
