97Buffalo Bill's Accomplishments. [Extract from London Court Journal.] Hon. F. W. Cody (Buffalo Bill) was a close companion of a man named Boone, who discovered Kentucky in 1869. Mr. Cody married a granddaughter of a distinguished gentleman, known as Sitting Bullfrog. Cody was twice governor of Chicago and was at one time mayor of the Arkansas legislature. He served in the confederate army, in the command of Gen. Butler, who so gallantly defended New Orleans against the threatened invasion of the federal Gen. Longstreet. After the war Mr. Cody went to congress from the province of Detroit and introduced a measure for the relief of the citizens of Buffalo, which gained for him the name Buffalo Bill. He has contributed largely to The Atlantic Monthly, a newspaper edited by Mark Twain and Uncle Tom Cabin, a man who is mainly noted for his negro dialect sketches. Mr. Cody has a ranch of many acres in St. Louis, where he keeps a large lot of Indians and ponies constantly on hand. | 97Buffalo Bill's Accomplishments. [Extract from London Court Journal.] Hon. F.
