About Dr. History's Tales of the Old West
Dr. History's audio stories of the Old West. Stories of Cowboys, Indians, Mountain men, pioneers, the Oregon Trail, miners, cattle drives, stagecoach and bank robbers, the cavalry, outlaws and lawmen, some famous and some you have never heard of. From the Custer Battlefield to the Klondike to Indian battles to buried treasure and lost mines to the early explorers. I love telling true stories that shaped the old west.

Well, this allowed Hickock time to shoot his pistols behind him, hitting Kyle in the wrist, a second shot to the stomach, mortally wounded the trooper.
