The Life of Buffalo Bill (Unabridged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

'The Life of Buffalo Bill,' published in 1879, is an autobiography by William F. Cody himself. It chronicles his life from a young age, starting with his father's death and his subsequent need to work at just eleven years old. The book details his diverse frontier experiences, including riding for the Pony Express, serving in the Civil War, and working as a scout and guide during the 'Indian Wars.' While offering a glimpse into the realities of frontier life, the narrative also reflects the sensationalized image Cody cultivated, blurring the lines between fact and the kind of adventure found in popular dime novels and stage plays. This blend of personal story and self-created myth is what makes Cody's autobiography both fascinating and complex.
