(1) YA Fleming examines two connected myths of history: "Buffalo Bill" Cody's life story and the nineteenth-century American frontier. Each chapter begins with a scene from Cody's romanticized "Wild West" show, and multi-paged sidebars address, like a tutorial for evaluating historical sources, how Cody's stories often differ from the historical record. Frequent period photographs complete this clear and informative biography. Websites. Bib., ind.
