Buffalo Bill Rides Again
Here is the lively, colorful, picturesque story of one of the greatest showmen of all time William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill" –the man who recreated the romance of the Wild West for America and the world.
Henry Blackman Sell and Victor Weybright cover every aspect of Buffalo Bill's fantastic life: his youth on the plains; his adventures with Indians; his scouting days with Kit Carson and Jim Bridger; his rides for the Pony Express; his career as a buffalo hunter for the railroad when he killed 4,280 bison in seventeen months.
Here, too, is the building of his Great Show: the corralling of the famous Indians, Sitting Bull and Short Man; the starring of Annie Oakley; the command performance before Queen Victoria; the record-breaking year of 1893 when in Chicago alone he played to more than six million cheering fans-all this reaped a fortune which Buffalo Bill spent with both hands.
He made millions of dollars and lost them. He also made millions of friends. These he did not, and will never, lose.
"Buffalo Bill and the Wild West is reporting at its best- facts set down without flourish or bias, telling their own story." Chicago Sunday Tribune
