| Publisher Description: 1888. By the time he was 22, Buffalo Bill Cody had been a trapper, bull whacker, a Fifty-Niner, Pony Express rider, wagon master, stagecoach driver, Civil War soldier, and even a hotel manager. He got his nickname from his ability to supply railroad workers with buffalo meat. Cody was employed as a scout for the U.S. Army. His tenure was the longest for any man in this dangerous profession. Here he writes the lives of the three greatest pioneers of western settlement; Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Kit Carson and his own life story. |
