Buffalo Bill Cody: The Man Behind the Legend
by Robert A. Carter
He was a larger-than-life figure of the frontier whose legendary exploits inspired hero worship among people of all ages. We may remember him as a buffalo hunter, a U.S. Army scout, an Indian fighter, a Pony Express rider, and, finally, a master showman who conceived and starred in the world-famous "Wild West" show. But who was the real William "Buffalo Bill" Cody? 

Now, in the first full-scale biography in over thirty years, Robert Carter scrupulously penetrates the true story of Buffalo Bill's extraordinary life. Spanning the settlement of the Great Plains and the violent Indian Wars, the Gold Rush, the Pony Express, and the building of the first transcontinental railroad, Buffalo Bill's life offers illuminating insight into the enduring romance and adventure of the American frontier–especially the Great Plains. 

This sweeping biography gives us a compelling look at the flamboyant, generous man theIndians called "Long Hair" and the rest of America called the "P. T. Barnum of the AmericanWest." For nearly two generations, from the 1880s to his death in 1917, his traveling show brought the Wild West to life for millions here and abroad, making Buffalo Bill–a complicated man with a colorful personality–a commanding presence in American history, a man who helped shape our modern perspective on our past. 

Based on exhaustive research drawn from extensive records, letters, and reminiscences of contemporaries, Buffalo Bill Cody conveys the illuminating saga of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries while it presents the fascinating story of the dashing cavalier of the Plains. Here, too, are shimmering portraits of the most famous and important characters of the frontier era, including Wild Bill Hickok, George Armstrong Custer, Sitting Bull, Annie Oakley, Philip Henry Sheridan, and Ned Buntline. 

Written simply and with great eloquence, Buffalo Bill Cody separates fact from myth and resurrects the remarkable man behind the legend, revealing how an authentic Westerner, a real-life hero, became the arch-purveyor of the romanticized, mythical Wild West that lives on to the present day, in all its adventure, violence, and romance. Buffalo Bill Cody not only gives us a sense of who we were, it provides rich insight into how we have become what we are today. - The Publisher
