As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter and anti matter.
On the 100th anniversary of American Independence, three characters would be murdered in America, who all knew each other intimately and had fought together for America's freedom.
General George Custer would be assassinated in a set up on June 26th, 1876.
Wild Bill Hickock would be murdered on July 4th, 1876.
California Joe would be murdered in another saloon by some bar brawler.
The latter two were chief of scouts for the 7th Cavalry. Joe would lead the group at the Battle of the Washita, and Bill would after an attempted murder of his person in Hays Kansas by three 7th Cavalry ruffians, would have to depart for calmer climates, as an actor with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but leave there too, as Bill had a propensity for shooting actors with wax bullets for fun.
Joe was probably the most lover of alcohol. None of the men were profane and all were about as shy around women as any could be.
Wild Bill was the best pistelero ever, and it would be a relative of one of them men involved in the failed assassination attempt on him, that would murder him.
The idea of the three assassins was they could not outdraw Bill, but if one got on his back, another held his arms down so he could not fire, that the third could get the job done. What took place instead was the one with the arms neglected one arm, and Bill drew his pistol and shot the man on his back unseen in a remarkable shot, killing his attacker, while the others fled.
Bill's word was law and his protege was a young boy he befriended in Buffalo Bill.
These were all good Americans of the best sort, in being trustworthy and honest, where any woman or child could be trusted to the protection of their company.
These three men require remembering in the year they were murdered in 1876.
