About this audiobook
The life and adventures of Honorable William F. Cody—Buffalo Bill—as told by himself, make up a narrative which reads more like romance than reality, and which in many respects will prove a valuable contribution to the records of our Western frontier history. While no literary excellence is claimed for the narrative, it has the greater merit of being truthful, and is verified in such a manner that no one can doubt its veracity. The frequent reference to such military men as Generals Sheridan, Carr, Merritt, Crook, Terry, Colonel Royal, and other officers under whom Mr. Cody served as scout and guide at different times and in various sections of the frontier, during the numerous Indian campaigns of the last ten or twelve years, affords ample proof of his genuineness as a thoroughbred scout.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book and an excellent reader. It is amazing to hear about the lives and Times of these pioneers. With all of their faults when they are viewed through the lens of History, they really were doing what they thought was right. Although I am certain that the author embellished some of the details of these stories, they were highly entertaining and bring the time period to life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was great! Like reading an action packed dramatic old western, except it's all true and told by the main character. Vocals on the audiobook are perfect for the part too, sounds gritty and as if Buffalo Bill is talking you through his very interesting life. Sure he's a bit full of himself, but then again look at the life he lived and if anything, he comes across quite modest. Highly recommend for any students of American history, and especially the old west. You can write an American timeline from the info in this book.
