William “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s legendary exploits helped create the myth of the American West — one that endures today. In 1883, he transformed himself into a master showman, creating and starring in a world-famous traveling show that brought the “real” Wild West to life. Part circus, part history, “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West” toured for three decades, playing to enthusiastic crowds across the United States and Europe. Richard Ben Cramer narrates.
