I recently learned that noted Wild Bill Hickok authority, Joseph G. Rosa passed away mid-January 2015. I do not know the particulars at this time. His knowledge of Wild Bill as well as author of many of the best researched books on the Old West shall be missed in our community. On a personal note, I was proud to call him a friend and even though he was in England, he was always there to answer my many questions on "Uncle Jim" as he called Hickok. Rest In Peace Joe. Say hello to Wild Bill when you see him.
Respectfully,
I remain, respectfully,
Harley Davis
"I do not believe in ghosts so I do not burn a candle waiting for them. As to the killing of a bad man, when it comes to a fight, it is the other man or me. And when the deed is done, why bother the mind? Afterall, the killing of a bad man should not bother anymore than the killing of a rat, a vicious cat or an ugly dog" James Butler Hickok when asked if he ever thought about the men he had killed.
