The remarkable life and adventures of Buffalo Bill, as seen through his own eyes. From his early life as a scout, trapper and Pony Express rider to his eventual fame as an iconic showman and theater producer. More entertaining and even more larger than life than most Wild West fiction, that came after it, this classic, action-filled autobiography has plenty of cowboys, saloons and shoot outs. “The Life of William F. Cody — Buffalo Bill” vividly captures the peak of a time and a place, that long since has passed into American folklore.
William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody (1846–1917) was an American scout, buffalo hunter, gold prospector, and showman. Rising to fame at only 23 years old, he was one of the most iconic figures of the American Old West in his time.
