The name ’Buffalo Bill’ is one of the most famous names in the
history of the Wild West. Bill was a famous fighter and a great hunter.
Later in his life, he was a great showman and one of the first people
to protect America’s natural environment.

William Cody was born in Indiana, on 26th February 1846. In those

days, life in the American West was very difficult and dangerous, and
people used to fight to protect their homes.
Before he was thirteen, Bill was an expert horse-rider and very good
with a pistol. Before he was twenty years old, Bill left home and
worked with the Pony Express company. The Pony Express was the
post office of the Wild West. The Pony Express riders took letters
and money to people in different parts of the country. After that, Bill
worked hunting buffaloes. Some people say he hunted more than
4,000 buffaloes. This is where he got his name, ’Buffalo Bill’.

Buffalo Bill was one of the first men in America to say that all
Americans had to work together. Bill started his famous ’Wild West
Show’ and tried to keep the traditions of the Wild West. He helped
establish America’s first National Forest reserve in Wyoming.
