BUFFALO BILL'S AMERICA(ISBN=9780375726583) 英文原版 fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

　　William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was the most famous American of

his age. He claimed to have worked for the Pony Express when only a

boy and to have scouted for General George Custer. But what was his

real story? And how did a frontiersman become a worldwide

celebrity?

In this prize-winning biography, acclaimed author Louis S. Warren

explains not only how Cody exaggerated his real experience as an

army scout and buffalo hunter, but also how that experience

inspired him to create the gigantic, traveling spectacle known as

Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. A dazzling mix of Indians, cowboys,

and vaqueros, they performed on two continents for three decades,

offering a surprisingly modern view of the United States and a

remarkably democratic version of its history. This definitive

biography reveals the genius of America’s greatest showman, and the

startling history of the American West that drove him and his

performers to the world stage.
