Buffalo Bill: An Autobiography

This is the story of Colonel William F. Cody, also known as Buffalo Bill.

Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,280 American bison in eighteen months, (1867?868). Cody had documented service as a soldier during the Civil War and as Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry during the Plains Wars. He claimed to have had many jobs, including as a trapper, bullwhacker, "Fifty-Niner" in Colorado, a Pony Express rider in 1860, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and a hotel manager.
