Three
friends and legends of the Old West. Wild Bill Hickok, Texas Jack
Omohundro, and Buffalo Bill Cody sit for a portrait in 1873.
The
two Bills served in the Union, and Jack in the Confederacy, but they
became fast friends and partners when they met out West. When Wild Bill
was killed, Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack paid for his gravestone. After
Jack's death, Buffalo Bill erected a memorial to his best friend. And
when Buffalo Bill died, they buried him on Lookout Mountain high above
Golden, Colorado, with one of the best views in the American West.
