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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people don't realize that before he became the world's most famous Old West entertainer and entrepreneur, Buffalo Bill Cody had an amazing life of adventure on the Great Plains.

Focusing primarily on the Great Salt Lake Trail used by pioneers, the two authors wove a compelling, true, wild-west tale about the characters and events of the mid- to late-19th century.Among those he knew were George Armstrong Custer. Cody was requested to join the southern column on the Yellowstone Expedition, commanded by General Crook. He arrived days after the Little Bighorn disaster and relates the events of that fateful summer in this book.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the migration that changed the country forever.

Book Synopsis Buffalo Bill's Wild West by : Joy S. Kasson
Download or read book Buffalo Bill's Wild West written by Joy S. Kasson and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating analysis of the first famous American to erase the boundary between real history and entertainment Canada, and Europe. Crowds cheered as cowboys and Indians--and Annie Oakley!--galloped past on spirited horses, sharpshooters exploded glass balls tossed high in the air, and cavalry troops arrived just in time to save a stagecoach from Indian attack. Vivid posters on billboards everywhere made William Cody, the show's originator and star, a world-renowned figure. Joy S. Kasson's important new book traces Cody's rise from scout to international celebrity, and shows how his image was shaped. Publicity stressed his show's "authenticity" yet audiences thrilled to its melodrama; fact and fiction converged in a performance that instantly became part of the American tradition. But how, precisely, did that come about? How, for example, did Cody use his audience's memories of the Civil War and the Indian wars? He boasted that his show included participants in the recent conflicts it presented theatrically, yet he also claimed it evoked "memories" of America's bygone greatness. Kasson's shrewd, engaging study--richly illustrated--in exploring the disappearing boundary between entertainment and public events in American culture, shows us just how we came to imagine our memories.
