Don't let Zane Grey's name fool you into anything, as he only wrote an introduction and an afterward to the book. He had nothing to do with the story of Buffalo Bill; the contents were written by his sister and published as a book several times befoe Zane Grey's name was added to the cover. I suspect it was done so to help make the book sell even more copies, as were illustrations by Fredrick Remmington placed in an edition of this book at one time. The historical accuracy of this book is also suspect in some things, and Helen Cody Wetmore's older sister even published a book many years later in an attempt to correct some of those inaccuracies. But having said that, this book will give you a loving account of man by his adoring sister, and will give you much of what really did happen to him. Buffalo Bill Cody was indeed an important man of the nineteenth century and help make the West what it still is today.

A real insightful look at Buffalo Bill.
Helen Wetmore tells a very good story, with choice insights into the life of one of Americas frontier heros. I learned more about Mr Buffalo Bill Cody from this book than from all of the others I have read about him. I knew quite abit about Buffalo Bill, but the stories and how the authior related them was very good. I would recommend this book to anyone doing research on the old West. Mrs Wetmore has done herself and Will as she calls him very proud with this work. Not only was the book informative,but it was as they say a real good read. I found it hard to put down and couldn't wait to read more of this fascinating Americans life, family and exploits.
