"Buffalo Bill."

Col. William F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," was born in Scott county, Iowa. At an early age he moved to Kansas and was reared as a herder, wagon master and pony express rider. After more or less success he became trapper on the Republican river. When the war broke out he was a government scout and guide at Fort Larned, and later was engaged in several battles. Reared among the Indians and trappers of the far west, from boyhood, endowed with cunning and generalship he was well equipped for the duties that befell him and for his present engagement as head of the famous Buffalo Bill's Wild West." The tour of the continent has netted him a neat profit and increased his popularity and fame. He is without doubt one of the manliest of men and one of the most able and successful.
