Bill Cody
Reading edition
At a rough estimate there are 400 million civilized human beings who have heard of Bill Cody, not under his real name, but by the name everybody called him, "Buffalo Bill."
His character made him an outstanding figure during a period of the development of America when a strong character was a matter of vital necessity.
We doubt, however, whether the man's work is fully appreciated, or ever has been. In the rush and bustle that followed the introduction of the railroad to the West, the results of Buffalo Bill's work were more or less overlooked, but a time is coming when this remarkable man's achievements will be fully appreciated.
This is the character whose adventures are dealt with in Buffalo Bill's Border Stories.
Read them. You will find them of true historical value.
