This day in history: Wild Bill Hickok shot and killed Davis Tutt on this day in 1865 in Springfield, Missouri, in what is regarded as the first western showdown. At Adair, Iowa, Jesse James and the James–Younger Gang pulled off the first successful train robbery in the American Old West on this day in 1873. American outlaw Sam Bass was killed by Texas Rangers on this day in 1878. The month of July also hosts the Shootout on Juneau Wharf in Skagway, Alaska in 1898, and The Battle of Lincoln (New Mexico) which was a five-day-long gunfight in 1878.
