عن المؤلف
William Frederick Cody, known as ‘Buffalo Bill, ‘ was an emblematic figure of the American Old West. Born February 26, 1846, near Le Claire, Iowa Territory, Cody’s life was one of adventure that straddled the worlds of legend and reality. He earned the nickname ‘Buffalo Bill’ for killing 4, 282 buffalo in eighteen months to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with meat. Cody’s exploits were larger than life, and he became synonymous with the Wild West shows, a form of entertainment he created that dramatized the experience of frontier life. He was a scout, bison hunter, and showman, whose life journey is chronicled in his autobiography, ‘An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill’ (Cody, 1920), in which he carefully details his early life, adventures, and the creation of his Wild West show. His literary style is characterized by a blend of personal narrative and tall tales, a reflection of oral storytelling traditions of that era. His works offer readers a personalized historic account and an inside perspective of the life of an American frontier hero. Cody’s autobiography contributes significantly to the romanticized view of the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, shaping both the national identity and the mythology surrounding this era. ‘Buffalo Bill’ remains a significant figure in American cultural history, a symbol of the rugged individualism and adventurous spirit of the period.
