Advance man, press agent, and publicist extraordinaire, John M. Burke (18421917) was instrumental in turning William F. Cody into the iconic persona of Buffalo Bill. And with this biography, published in 1893, Burke put the finishing touches on the legend that persists to this day. This new, definitive edition includes the full text and all the photographs and line drawings of Burkes original, while providing critical background details on the literary sources, historical characters, and events that figure in the work.With a few plain truths, unadorned, Burke purported to give a frank account of Buffalo Bills life. Hostile Indians, gunfights, cattle stampedes: Codys Wild West was fraught with peril at every turn. This Chevalier Bayard of American Bordermen exemplified courage and daring while often narrowly escaping certain death and he earned the respect and admiration of not only his fellow frontiersmen but also European royalty. Burke recounts Codys duel with Chief Yellow Hand; his role as army scout, buffalo hunter, Pony Express rider, and international celebrity; and his associations with wellknown figures like Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, General Phil Sheridan, and Queen Victoria. A brilliant instance of mythmaking by a true believer, Burkes portrait of Buffalo Bill Cody as frontiersman and hero is a tribute to the romance of the Wild West and a canonical volume in the American story.
