Description:
First edition thus first printing. Both book and unclipped DJ have no wear to speak of. DJ is protected in an archival sleeve. William Frederick Cody, also known as Buffalo Bill, was a miner in the Colorado gold fields, a Pony Express rider, an army scout, a buffalo hunter for the railroad construction camps and, of course, the organizer and the star of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Here is his story, written in his own words; an autobiography that is both a portrait of the old west written by a man who knew it better than most and a classic book of American folk literature.

First USA printing. Book has minor creasing to the top and bottom of the spine. Unclipped DJ has slight chipping to the spine edges and a one inch closed tear to the bottom spine corner. There is a bookplate attached to the front endpaper. This is the first complete account in English of the violence-marked career of the audacious Frenchman who tried to carve an empire out of the Bad Lands of Dakota Territory in the 1880's. Young, aristocratic, brilliant, and idealistic, de Mores was a seigneur in the grand style. In his ambitious, imaginative mind, money-making and high adventure went together, and the Old West afforded a matchless opportunity to apply all his resources.
