W 122 Bill Tilghman

This collectible toy soldier depicts Bill Tilghman, a legendary figure of the American West and a prominent law enforcement officer during the era of Western Expansion. Tilghman is best known for his role in pacifying the Oklahoma Territory during and after the Land Run of 1889, an event in which thousands of settlers rushed to claim land in the newly opened territory. As sheriff and later as United States Marshal, Tilghman was respected for his bravery and his dedication to maintaining order in a time of great tumult. Dressed in the attire typical of a 19th century lawman and armed with his signature revolver, this intricately crafted figure is ideal for historical dioramas and collectors wishing to commemorate one of the great heroes of the Old West.
