Synopsis: An excellent book based on exhaustive research and written with fresh insight. It is a spellbinding accomplishment and brings both the man and his era to life. . . . It is an extraordinary achievement. -Arizona Daily Star Carter presents this astounding tale in a very balanced fashion, providing both the nineteenth-century rationale and his repug-nance at acts today considered shocking. . . . Through Carters writing, the heroic and ultimately sad life of a remarkable human being makes a deep impact. -Richmond Times Dispatch A comprehensive, sharply rendered life of showman William Buffalo Bill Cody pries realities away from legend. . . . A splendid portrait of Codys life and times, at once poignant, boisterous, and disturbing. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Theres a large audience for American, and particularly Western, history, and those readers will not want to miss this genial account. -Publishers Weekly This is the remarkable story of an amazing life. Cody not only lived the adventure of the frontier, he helped create the American West of the imagination. A fascinating story and a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of the Western myth. -Casey Tefertiller author, Wyatt Earp: The Life Behind the Legend
