- Summary:
- As a boy in Kansas, William Cody saw great trains of prairie schooners on their way to Utah and California. Men walked around with knives and pistols casually tucked into their trousers. Kickapoo Indian boys taught Cody to shoot with a bow and arrows. One of Cody's cousins ran away to sea, joined the circus and became a bareback rider. No wonder Billy became the larger-than-life Buffalo Bill -- the possibilities for adventure seemed limitless in the West of the mid-1800's.
