Abilene once had “Wild Bill” Hickok as its marshal. But soon the village's streets were swarming with cow pokes and cattle dealers -- and with gamblers who were ready and willing to relieve them of their hard-earned cash, says James C. Krause. Within four years Abilene had reached its peak of prosperity, notoriety, and infamy. And in walked U.S. Marshal Wild Bill Hickok. "At first," says Krause, "Wild Bill tended to routine business," but he took a "parent-like" attitude toward John Wesley Hardin and even helped Hardin's friends out of trouble. Not for long. Hardin and some friends got into trouble, and Hickok saw to it that they got out of Abilene.
