I was looking for a gift for a true western history buff. Many of the books out there sugarcoat the story of the West. This one is the best book I have seen on an amazing man. The details of the adventures along with the non-colorized photos are just excellent. For anyone interested in this section of American history, this book should be on your bookshelf. It's also a very good coffee table book. Highly recommended.

Great book for anyone who loves the old west, scores of high quality photographs of the best, I repeat the BEST of the old west artifacts, from Colts, to CDV, and cabinet cards, saddles, hats, clothing, etc. Many photos never seen before..accompanied by a strong text, highest recommendations!

When my wife and I visited Cody, Wyoming, which was the fulfillment of a fifty-year quest, I wanted to pitch a tent in the Cody Museum and stay until forced to leave. I could not get enough of Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show! The book was on sale in the museum gift shop, but, alas, we had spent every last dollar on the museum fee. After seeing the book for sale on Amazon, I was in a better financial condition, so I bought a copy. The book is now on permanent coffee table display. The life of William F. Cody was much too full to chronicle in a single volume, even Cody's own autobiography. But, this book comes closest to fulfilling that task! The beautiful photography and the amazing graphics are expertly interspersed amongst the captivating text, weaving a tapestry of my favorite period of history. For me at least, this book is the next best thing to returning to the long gone days of the Old West!

I will leave this earth still in possession of this book.
