Post office misprint & re-issue of Bill Pickett was American's first black cowboy star & created Bulldogging. Pickett was the first black man to be elected to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Center in Ok. In 1993, the US Postal Service honored him as part of its Legends of The West Series of stamps, but the picture that appeared on the stamp was of Bill's brother. The original stamp was recalled & the correct picture printed on the stamp. The back printing on the revised stamp corects his birth as 1870, the origianl had him born in 1871.
