About the Book:William Adams (“Wild Bill”) Hickman was one of the most infamous outlaws of the nineteenth-century American frontier. Serving as a bodyguard and spy for Mormon church presidents Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, Hickman gained notoriety as a so-called “destroying angel.” His role in frontier justice and church loyalty, however, remains a subject of debate among historians. Some argue he acted in the interest of the church, while others contend he often operated independently as a true renegade. Hickman adhered to the Mormon practice of polygamy, marrying ten wives and fathering thirty-five children. His lifestyle and actions made him a divisive figure both within and outside the Mormon community. During the Utah War of 1857-58, Hickman played a prominent role as a guerilla fighter. His hit-and-run tactics significantly contributed to the Mormon resistance, frustrating the advancing U.S. Army. However, his loyalty to the church unraveled when he was arrested for the murder of a government arms dealer during the conflict. Under pressure, Hickman implicated Brigham Young, a decision that led to his excommunication and a complete severance of ties with the church president. Branded a pariah, Hickman faced widespread condemnation. When Hickman died in Wyoming in 1883, his controversial reputation lingered. Many of his relatives were compelled to change their names to avoid the stigma associated with him, and the town in which he died refused to inter his remains in the local cemetery. Despite his tarnished legacy, Hickman’s life exemplifies the rough and often brutal realities of frontier life. Whether viewed as a loyal Mormon or an unrestrained outlaw, Hickman’s actions and legend left an indelible mark on the history of the American West and the establishment of the Mormon settlement in the Rocky Mountains.
