QUESTION:
How many tickets were sold to Wild Bill Hickock’s first Wild West Show?
— M. S.
ANSWER:
The answer to your question is “zero.”
In the first place, Wild Bill’s actual name was James Butler Hickok (with one “c” — not two).
In the second place, although he performed with Buffalo Bill for seven months in 1873, the show was called “Scouts of the Plains” at that time — not Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
Therefore, no tickets could have been sold to “Wild Bill Hickock’s first Wild West Show.”
