THIS STORY:
John "Jack" McCall, also known as "Crooked Nose" or "Broken Nose Jack", was the murderer of Old West legend Wild Bill Hickok. McCall shot Hickok from behind as he played poker at Nuttal & Mann's Saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, on August 2, 1876. McCall was executed for the murder on March 1, 1877.
Most interestedly, Jack McCall was initially buried in Sacred Heart Cemetery in Yankton County, South Dakota, a cemetery which was moved in 1881. When McCall's body was exhumed, it was found to have the hangman's noose still around his neck.
McCall was the first person to be executed by federal officials in the Dakota Territory.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

This photo was most likely taken from his first burial, because he wouldn’t have been hung in those clothes. The rope may or may not be authentic but if the undertaker had the presence to take a photo, he had the presence of mind to add the rope. Probably sold the pictures as post cards.

@lillypad9960 Год назад

Fantabulous!!! A piece of history proven by the hangman's noose. How awesome. A criminal punished and the evidence of his death to take him into infinity. Ron, imagine what we'd find if we could do more digging. Blessings from Michigan.

Thank you for doing this video. I took my kids to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and we stayed a night in Deadwood at the Bullock Hotel. It was a fantastic experience. We also visited the graves of Wild Bill, Calamity Jane and Bullock himself. I wish I had done more research so that I could visit this grave that you highlight. And if you are up for a spooky night, stay at the Bullock Hotel. It is definitely haunted.

Thank you for historical corrections I needed. I didn't know Jack made it to Yankton. I was told the minute he shot Wild Bill, he was angrily grabbed up by a mob, taken to a quickly-convened court, immediately found guilty, and hung, all right there in Deadwood. That telling did include him buried with the noose in place, but your finding Jack in Yankton serves to correct legend and establish history. Another of your great ones.

I lived in Yankton for 10 years during my college days. I graduated from Yankton College which is now a minimum security Federal Prison Camp after closing as a school in 1984. Later the BOP purchased the property and converted it to the prison that exists today. When I first arrived in Yankton in the late summer of 1970, there was a small brass plate on the side of the Gurney Hotel that commemorated the site in downtown Yankton where the hanging of Blackjack McCall took place! I don’t know if that plaque is still there but I’ll check for it the next time I’m in town for a college reunion.

Extraordinary! The social history of America is endlessly fascinating to me, even as a British national living in the UK. I've been lucky to travel all over the country, and lived in NYC for a couple of years, but the West is the bit I find most absorbing. Europeans heading west across unknown and sometimes impossible terrain in intolerably hot or cold weather, occasionally assailed by the indigenous people, more often than not no proper law enforcement (like today actually!), it is incredible that we can all follow historically significant events that happened so relatively recently. This story is phenomenal, and it's great that you've explained it clearly and highlighted it here. Thank you for making this very informative video sir.
