1876 - Feathers flying

The North American Indian Wars
And the main characters of the Wild West
Created legends, kids' games and quick draws
Cowboys and Indians, films and all the rest
The Last of the Mohicans was the first
Major novel or work of art that fed
This hunger, but Buffalo Bill did best
With his Wild West Shows, touring with his friends
Texas Jack and Will Bill Hickok, whose end
Came in a saloon card game, while robbers
Such as the James gang raided banks and worse,
Shot innocent men, even raiding trains
The Great Plains, the West, also Florida's
Deep south saw natives killed, moved and suppressed
