Summary

"Everyone knows the name Buffalo Bill, but few these days know what he did or, in some cases, didn't do. Was he a Pony Express rider? Did he ride with Wild Bill Hickok? Did he 'scalp' countless Native Americans, or did he defend their rights? This [biography] of Buffalo Bill Cody ... answers all these questions and more."--Front flap of jacket
