An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill #732397

William Frederick Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917), known as Buffalo Bill, was an American soldier, bison hunter, and showman. He was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), but he lived for several years in his father's hometown in modern-day Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, before the family returned to the Midwest and settled in the Kansas Territory. He is best known for his Wild West shows, which traveled throughout the United States and Europe, showcasing various aspects of Western frontier life, including sharpshooting, rodeo events, and reenactments of historical battles.
