          George Ward Nichols (June 21, 1831 - September 15, 1885) was an American journalist known as the creator of the legend of Wild Bill Hickok.[1]

          Nichols was born on June 21, 1831, in Tremont, Maine.

          During American Civil War he served under General John C. Fremont and General William Sherman. He wrote The Story of the Great March (1865). The book was translated on several languages.[2]

          In September 1865 Nichols arrived in Springfield, Missouri, where he met James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok.

          The article Wild Bill by Nichols appeared in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine in February 1867. The publication immortalized Wild Bill.[3][4
