Book Description

May 15, 1979

Few western American have been more often written about than William F. Cody, the "Buffalo Bill" of history, the dime novel, and popular lore.

There are several important aspects of this biography. The whole career of the plainsman is presented - it is the only biography, in fact, that contains any major assault on the army records dealing with Cody’s scouting career - and it relates with skill and insight the truths behind the legends exploited in contemporary dime novels, the stage, and the Wild West show.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
BUFFALO BILL WAS DESCENDED neither from Irish kings, as his younger sister supposed when she wrote a biography of him, nor from Italian condottieri, as Mussolini's propaganda agency claimed at a time when Fascism was as prolific in discoveries and inventions as was Russian Communism in subsequent years. Read the first page
