The rules are simple: I'm going to present a series of trivia questions, one at a time. The first one to post the correct answer to each question gets one point. The first person to accumulate five points is the winner! Again, only UNEDITED posts will be accepted.

This contest, like all of my contests, will have a theme: since Bunco was a popular gambling game in the Wild West, all of the questions will be related to Wild West and Old West trivia.

Ready? Go!

All right, question #1:

New York City native Henry McCarty was better known by what name?

Next question:

Next question:
