Bill Tilghman - Old West Lawman

Bill Tilghman - the legendary lawman best known for hunting down bad guys in Indian Territory - got his start as a teenage buffalo hunter on the Kansas frontier. After that, he spent years patrolling the tough streets of Dodge City with the likes of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Charlie Bassett before moving on to Oklahoma where he did more of the same. Friends with guys like Luke Short and Doc Holliday. Rubbed shoulders with outlaws like Dave Rudabaugh and J.J. Webb, Tilghman wore many hats throughout his life. Senator, husband, father, scout, rancher, saloon owner, movie producer, actor, and then finally – at the ripe old age of 70 – Tilghman pinned on a badge yet again to take on the corrupt boom town of Cromwell, Oklahoma. #wildwest #cowboy #history
