Buffalo Bill was one part renegade, one part folk hero, and all parts showman. He was a phenomenon back in his heyday, and his legend looms large even now. From his days making deliveries for the Pony Express to his time serving in the American Civil War and on into his run as a scout on the Western frontier, Buffalo Bill was a force to be reckoned with. Yet it was his shows that captivated audiences with thrilling tales of the Wild West that made him one of the first true American celebrities and cemented his status as a legend. Beyond the spotlight, Buffalo Bill was also a ceaseless advocate for the underdog. Buffalo Bill, in fact, became an early proponent for the rights of Native Americans, despite having built his reputation as an “Indian fighter” in his younger years. He worked with various tribes during the course of his career, during which time he developed great sympathy for those whom he felt the federal government had double-crossed. Buffalo Bill was indeed a man of many talents and many seasons. This book explores his life and his indomitable legacy in full.
