Who is Little Bill Daggett in the motion picture, Unforgiven?

Little Bill is a somewhat small and stocky man in his fifties or sixties who is the sheriff of Big Whiskey. Little Bill imposes very strict rules on anyone entering his town; everyone must turn in their weapons at the office on penalty of death. When English Bob and Beauchamp come into town, Little Bill makes it clear that he is not scared of them or anyone. He not only confiscates Bob's concealed gun, but also beats him up in front of the entire town. In many ways, Little Bill seems to wield the power of a despot in Big Whiskey.

Little Bill is a dangerous character. He runs the town as if he is a dictator, expecting everyone, including visitors, to do things his way. When Little Bill first appears in the film, he may seem like a bit of a joke. He is building a house that is quickly falling down and his deputies make fun of him. However, from the moment he walks into town to meet English Bob, it is obvious that everyone listens to him for a good reason: he is one of the deadliest men in the West.
