Not only a fun read but an indispensable western writer's medical reference.

 

Buffalo Bill & Sitting Bull - Inventing the Wild WestBuffalo Bill and Sitting Bull: Inventing the Wild West (M.K. Brown Range Life Series, 21)
by Bobby Bridger
American West History


This biography of William Cody focuses on his lifelong relationship with Plains Indians, a vital part of his life story that, surprisingly, has been seldom told. Bobby Bridger draws on many historical accounts and Cody's own memoirs to show how deeply intertwined Cody's life was with the Plains Indians. In particular, he demonstrates that the Lakota and Cheyenne were active cocreators of the Wild West shows, which helped them preserve the spiritual essence of their culture in the reservation era while also imparting something of it to white society in America and Europe. This dual story of Buffalo Bill and the Plains Indians clearly reveals how one West was lost, and another born, within the lifetime of one remarkable man.
