"William F. Cody is one of the best scout and guides that ever rode at the head of a column of cavalry on the Far West. His army friends, from general to private, hope that hey may live long and prosper abundantly.
"Should the wild Sioux again go on the war-path, Cody, if living, will be found wick the cavalry advance, riding another 'Buckskin Joe,' and carrying his Springfield rifle, 'Larertia,' across the pommel of his saddle."
FROM COL. DODGE'S "THIRTY YEARS AMONG THE INDIANS."- Page 628.
"Of ten men employed as scouts nine will prove to be worthless; of fifty so employed one may prove to be really valuable but, though hundreds, even thousands, of men have been so employed by the Government since the war, the number of really remarkable men among them can be counted on the fingers. The services which these men are called on to perform are so important and valuable that the officer who benefits by them is sure to give the fullest credit, and men honored official reports come to be great men on the frontier. Fremont's reports made Kit Carson a renowned man. Custer immortalized California Joe. Custer, Merritt and Carr made William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) a plains celebrity 'UNTIL TIME SHALL BE NO MORE.'"
A LEGISLATOR- The late Phocian Howard journalistically records the fact:-"We were present in the Nebraska Legislature when Mr. Cody's resignation was read, and, knowing his practical qualities, his thorough knowledge of important questions then demanding attention in border legislation his acquaintance with the Indian problem-the savages, deadly foe in battle, their generous friend in peace-great was our disappointment in his refusing to continue in political life, choosing to be, what he really is, a true 'Knight of the Plains.' On the frontier, even there his name a household word, deservedly is the famous scout popular throughout the land, standing, as he has, a leader among the manly pioneer barriers between civilization and savagery, risking all that the 'Star of Empire' might force its 'westward way.' last being the memorable Custer campaign under Crook, on the Big Horn, against the Sitting Bull Sioux, and we bear kind witness that Buffalo Bill is the idol of the army and frontiersmen and the dread and terror of the war-bonneted Indian. At the last session of the Nebraska Legislature, he received a large complimentary vote for United States Senator."
A PEN PICTURE- Curtis Guild proprietor and editor of the conservative Commerical Bulletin Boston, writes: "Raised on the frontier, he has passed through every grade, and won fame in each line, while to be proficient in one brings celebrity sufficient to gratify most ambitions. Thus it is he holds supremacy in fact and receives from his associates an adoration suppressing even his public popularity. Visitors to the camp, early the other morning, found him joining in every frolic, game, and contest, with each and all, and generally excelling: in shooting, in running, in jumping, in trials of strength, feats of agility, horsemanship, handling the ribbons behind four or six, riding the vicious mustang, manipulating the revolver, etc., tackling each specialist, and coming to the front with a generous modesty admired by the defeated.
"No lover of the human race, no man with an eye for the picturesque, but mast have enjoyed the very sight of these pioneers of civilization. Never was a finer picture of American manhood present than when Buffalo Bill stepped out to show the capabilities of the Westen teamster's whip. Tail beyond a lot of ordinary mortals, straight as an arrow, not an ounce of useless flesh upon his limbs, but every muscle firm and hard as the sinews of a stage, with the frank, kindly eye of a devoted friend, and natural courtly grace of manner which would become a marshall of France, Buffalo Bill i. from spur to sombrero one of the finest types of manhood this continent has ever produced. Those who had expected to meet a different class of men must have been pleasantly surprised in these genuine sons of the plains, every one of whom was stamped with the natural easy grace and courtesy of manner which marks the man who is born a gentleman."
AS AN EDUCATOR,- The nationally known Brick Pomeroy thus writes: "One of the pronounced, positive, strong men of the Wet is Hon. Wm. F. Cody, of Nebraska, known quite generally the world over as 'Buffalo Bill.' A sturdy, generous, positive character, who as a hunter, guide, scout, Government officer, member of the Legislature, and gentleman, rises to the equal of every emergency into which his way is opened or directed. Quick to think and to act, cool in all cases of pleasure or extreme danger; versatile in his genius; broad and liberal in his ideas; progressive in his mentally he can no more keep still or settle down into a routine work incidental to office or farm life than an eagle can thrive in a cage.
