4-6Adventures of Young Buffalo Bill series.
Illustrated by
Scott Snow.
Now settled in the Kansas Territory, the Cody family meets with harassment and violence due to their abolitionist beliefs. After Pa's death, Bill joins a wagon train as an assistant and encounters Wild Bill Hickok. Each book's afterword explains which of the colorfully portrayed episodes in these old-fashioned western stories are based on fact. Occasional pencil sketches illustrate the books. [Review covers these Adventures of Young Buffalo Bill titles: In the Eye of the Storm, One Sky above Us, and West on the Wagon Train.]
