Jack McCall became the first man executed in Dakota Territory when he was hanged today in 1877 outside Yankton. Seven months earlier, McCall shot notorious gunslinger "Wild Bill" Hickok in the head at Deadwood's Saloon No. 10. McCall fled, but he began boasting about the murder in Wyoming where authorities caught him. His initial trial in Deadwood was thrown out, since it was in Indian Territory. He was retried and convicted in Yankton.
