According to History Nebraska, “Wild Bill” Hickok first earned that nickname while working for a stagecoach and freighting company called Russell, Majors, & Waddell. The company had agreed to buy Rock Creek Station in Jefferson County from a man named David McCanles. But after McCanles argued with Hickok over the sale, Hickok went wild and wound up standing trial for crimes committed against McCanles.
