Publisher's Synopsis
William F. Cody, aka 'Buffalo Bill' was the man who almost single-handedly created the legend of the Wild West. Starting his career at the tender age of 11, he was successively a rodeo rider, Pony Express courier, a US Army Scout in both the American Civil and Indian wars, a Buffalo/Bison hunter, and finally a master showman who in the 1880s-90s took his Wild West Show featuring cowboys, Indians and other components of the legend, on hugely successful tours across America and Europe. This charming period piece of a book, first published in 1904, recounts his adventures fighting the Sioux Plains Indians who later became a popular feature of his travelling shows.
