Dep: If you go into the No. 10 Saloon in Deadwood, S.D., you can see the actual cards (aces and eights) that he held, as well as the table he was at and the chair he was in when he met his maker, as the saying goes.
Deadwood is a gambling mecca today, which is a shame, but the No. 10 is an authentic piece of Americana that's worth a visit, if you ever get to the Black Hills. Wild Bill is buried in Deadwood, with Calamity Jane at his side -- by her doing, not his.
No doubt Bill would have carried a PP, had they been around in his day.
