Buffalo Bill's America

“The most ambitious book ever published about Cody and his times. No one interested in Buffalo Bill, 19th-century show business or the many meanings of the American West will want to pass it up.” —The New York Times Book Review“Warren writes with the tireless ebullience of a scholar in love with his material… . The grocery tabloids missed a good thing by not being around when Buffalo Bill was king of the box office.” —The New York Review of Books“Meticulously researched and entertaining… . A fascinating and accessible study of a man who … can still teach us today about how things are not always what they appear to be.” —The Portland Oregonian “Not just a biography but an examination of the cultures of the eastern United States and Europe and their relationship with the American West.” —The Denver Post
