But I did not know many facts about him, and it was interesting to learn more of the "facts" about him. I always enjoy doing that, learning about something that I normally would not do, on an everyday basis.

I used three sources (two books and a website) in researching this character, and between the three, two would say an event truly happened where the third said that was a fiction he invented to make himself more interesting.

However, he had also the usual Old West legends and stories surrounding him, making it tough to sort out fiction from fact.
