Buffalo Bill’s Wild West recalled in aged reminiscence
By J Frank Dole the piece recounts a Chicago 1908 encounter with Buffalo Bill Cody born 1846 on a Iowa farm. It chronicles his life from cowboy boy to scout, the Wild West show’s rise, Annie Oakley’s feats, and his decline before death in 1917 at Lookout Mountain.
