Buffalo Bill Cody

Buffalo Bill's Wild West shows symbolized everything Western. The good guys wore white and the bad guys wore red. He even recruited real cowboys and cowgirls. Buffalo Bill, who for 30 years was the most popular figure on two continents, performed a unique brand of entertainment that has yet to be equaled. Was Buffalo Bill a businessman? An entertainer? What was he really like? And, how did he get his nickname? There is one thing that was certain: he was larger than life. The award-winning documentary Buffalo Bill Cody, which was previously viewed on public television, tours the life of one of the American West's most innovative characters, and separates the myth from reality of the legendary William F. Cody.
