Download or read book Buffalo Bill Cody written by Lew Freedman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody (1846-1917) rose from humble origins in Iowa to become one of the most famous and most photographed people in the world. He became a leading scout during the American Indian Wars, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and a renowned show business fixture whose traveling Wild West exhibitions played to millions of spectators the world over for 30 years. He hobnobbed with presidents, kings, queens and European heads of state, befriending many legendary individuals of the West, from General George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull to Wild Bill Hickok and Annie Oakley. Aside from these achievements, Cody's most important legacy may be how he shaped the world's enduring views of the American West through his shows, which he considered to be educational events rather than entertainment. This biography is a fresh look at the life of Buffalo Bill.

Download or read book Buffalo Bill and the Overland Trail written by Edwin L. Sabin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buffalo Bill and the Overland Trail: Being the Story of How Boy and Man Worked Hard, and Played Hard to Blaze the White Train, By, Wagon Train, Stage Coach and Pony Express, Across, the Great Plains and the Mountains Beyond, That, the American Republic Might Expand and Flourist The half of what Buffalo Bill did, in the days of the Overland Trail, has never been told, and of course cannot be told in one short book. He began very young, before the days of the Overland Stage; and he was needed long after the railroad had followed the stage. The days when the Great Plains were being opened to civilized people required brave men and boys - yes, and brave women and girls, too. There was glory enough for all. Everything related in this book happened to Buffalo Bill, or to those persons who shared in his dangers and his deeds. And while he may not remember the other boy, Dave Scott, whom he inspired to be brave also, he will be glad to know that he helped Davy to be a man. That is one great reward in life: to inspire and encourage others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
