Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””

Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
