William F. Cody better known as Buffalo Bill – one of the most important and celebrated people in the history of the United States. W.F. Cody at age 11 was the worlds first “Boy Scout.” He fought as a U.S. Cavalry man throughout the entire Civil War. He also fought in and survived ALL of the Indian wars! It helped that he was the BEST rifle shot and rider of all men and held the world record for such. Buffalo Bill was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery! A frontier man, Cody was one of the original Pony Express riders and is also accredited with creating the form of entertainment known as The Wild West Show. Buffalo Bill was the most famous and the most photographed man of his time. In 1910, long before Charlie Chaplin, Buffalo Bill Cody became one of the very first screen stars if not the first screen star. Cody used the relatively new medium of the moving picture to document his Wild West show and reenactments of his famous adventures. Buffalo Bill himself made these motion pictures! Real wild west personalities Annie Okley and Chief Sitting Bull were anong the legends who are in these two films!
