Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Buffalo Bill Cody got his nickname after the American Civil War when he had a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat.

Zustand: Good. No Dust Jacket. TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS FIGURES OF THE AMERICAN WEST BETWEEN A SINGLE SET OF COVERS. Published while both men still occupied a near-mythic place in the public imagination, this illustrated dual biography chronicles the remarkable careers of William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody and Gordon W. 'Pawnee Bill' Lillie, the showmen, scouts, and frontier celebrities whose Wild West exhibitions helped define how generations of Americans and Europeans imagined the nineteenth-century frontier. Part biography, part adventure narrative, and part celebration of the disappearing West, the volume captures the moment when living participants in frontier history were becoming national legends. Particularly appealing is the inclusion of photographic portraits and a printed dedication featuring a personal letter from Buffalo Bill to the author. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Original red cloth decorated in black and white with striking pictorial cover and spine designs depicting Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill. 7.25 inches tall; 244 pages. Illustrated throughout with numerous photographic plates, including portraits of Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill protected by tissue guards. Stated Second Edition. CONDITION: Good. Moderate shelf handling wear. The decorative cloth remains attractive with light rubbing at extremities and minor fraying at the spine ends. Tissue guards remain present. Interior photographs are clean and well-preserved. A solid and appealing example of a visually attractive Western biography. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - At the beginning of the twentieth century, few names carried greater public recognition than Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill. Through touring Wild West exhibitions, dramatic reenactments, and public appearances, both men transformed frontier experience into popular entertainment, shaping popular perceptions of the American West for audiences around the world. This volume presents their lives as parallel adventures. Buffalo Bill appears as scout, buffalo hunter, Pony Express rider, soldier, and showman, while Pawnee Bill emerges as a performer, entrepreneur, and promoter of Native American participation in Wild West exhibitions. Together they illustrate the transformation of frontier history into popular memory. Published in 1911, when many celebrated frontier figures were still living, the book captures a transitional moment when the West was passing from lived experience into legend. The inclusion of a printed personal letter from Buffalo Bill, reproduced in the dedication, strengthens the work's contemporary connection to the men whose careers helped define the mythology of the American frontier.
