William F. Cody
1846 - 1917
William Cody was a man who never stood still. While in his teens, he honed his frontier skills as a scout
for the Union Army. After the Civil War, his deadly efficiency as a buffalo hunter for railroad crews earned him
the nickname, "Buffalo Bill". Cody later returned to scouting for the army, but as the West grew more settled, he
needed more excitement. So in 1883, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show was born using real cowboys and Indians to
recreate scenes from the life he knew.
