Buckey O'Neill Life story
William Owen "Buckey" O'Neill was a sheriff, newspaper editor, miner, politician, Georgist, gambler and lawyer, mainly in Arizona. His nickname came from his tendency to "buck the tiger" at faro or other card games. He later became a captain in Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and died in battle.
