Autorenporträt
Colonel William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was an American scout, bison hunter, and showman. He was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory, but lived for several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill began working at a young age, initially as a rider for the Pony Express at age fourteen. His skill as a frontiersman and marksman led to his nickname, 'Buffalo Bill'. Cody earned his fame for his exploits in the Old West, and his reputation burgeoned due to his performances in Wild West shows, which he himself conceived and developed. These shows depicted the experiences and lore of the American frontier and were highly influential in shaping the popular image of the Wild West. Cody's life and legend were immortalized in his autobiography, 'An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill (Colonel W. F. Cody)', in which he recounts his adventures and experiences. The narrative ranges from his work with the Pony Express and army scouts to encounters with Native Americans. His literary style in this autobiography combines vivid storytelling with a form of charismatic showmanship that mirrored his larger-than-life persona. The book serves as an important cultural artifact, offering insight into both the myth and reality of the American frontier during the late nineteenth century. As a historical figure and author, Buffalo Bill's contributions have made a lasting impact on American literature and history.
