10 Wild West Icons Hollywood Completely Lied To You About

Think of the Wild West, and images of popular folk heroes and outlaws like Billy the Kid, Jesse James and Wyatt Earp will no doubt spring to mind, bringing with them rip-roaring tales of bank-robbing bandits and loyal lawmen. A great many of these stories have been appropriated by Hollywood to bring the Western genre to the silver screen.

But just how many creative liberties have been taken in Hollywood's quest for a great Old West saga? This list profiles ten famous Wild West figures who were alive and active during the mid- to late-19th century and who have been wildly misrepresented by filmmakers throughout the past 70 years.
