"Buffalo Bill" Cody got his nickname after the American Civil War
when he had a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers
with buffalo meat. Cody served as a soldier in the Civil War and as
Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry during the Plains Wars. He
claimed to have had many jobs, including as a trapper, bullwhacker,
"Fifty-Niner" in Colorado, a Pony Express rider in 1860,
wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and a hotel manager. Buffalo Bill
became world famous for his Wild West Shows, which toured in Great
Britain and Europe. Audiences were enthusiastic about seeing a
piece of the American West. The adventure story writer Emilio
Salgari met Buffalo Bill in Italy, saw his show, and later featured
him as a hero in some of his novels.
