THE BUFFALO. by Colonel Henry Inman with "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
America nearly lost its buffalo (or bison, to be more accurate), but in an early
conservation effort a small herd was retained. This has now grown into a sizable
population, which recall to us the vast herds that once roamed and even blackened the
plains. This story, however, is told by one #who at one point in his career was actively
engaged in slaughtering the animals. They were a nuisance that got in the way of the new
trains, and, besides, eliminating buffaloes might help in subduing Indians. Life habits of
the animal are given as well, and what better way to learn of the place in our history of
the buffalo than by reading an account by one of the principals in their history.

BUFFALO BILL'S TRUE TALES. by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
Buffalo Bill remains known and of interest because he typifies the romantic figure of the American
West. His Wild West shows, a mixture of rodeo and circus along with real-life history,
spread his fame, dramatizing this frontiersman as a super rider and top marksman. To us
moderns, reading how Cody could be both an Indian killer and a friend of the Indian people
might be hard to grasp, but it is important to grasp to better understand the nature of
the frontier. Indian Chief Sitting Bull, for instance, and Buffalo Bill had stood against each
other in matters of war, but toured in the Wild West show together! Also here are his
tales as a Pony Express rider, buffalo hunter, and riding his horse for their lives. This
is Bill's story, in his words; and yet, as an American, it is your story, too. Period illustrations, with a color cover, 24 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.
