Wild at Heart — Layce Gardner

Experience the Wild West as never before! A tale in which everyone has their woes, and none of the players are quite who they appear to be.

Midweek business at The Globe saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, is just the way owner/operator Charlie Engleman likes it: slow. When local cowpoke Pete comes to the bar, Charlie can serve him and still have plenty of time to read. The arrival of two well-known strangers -- Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok -- puts an end to Charlie's cherished quiet. Calamity Jane has come to The Globe looking for Belle, the resident lady. Unfortunately for Calamity, Belle wants nothing to do with her. Charlie, Pete and Wild Bill spend the afternoon vying for Belle's affection and, much to Calamity's dismay, one of them may succeed. This is the story, as told by Charlie, of what else happened in Deadwood on Wild Bill Hickok's last day alive.
