Early years
William Cody, age 19
While doing an anti-slavery speech in the trading post site, your father so inflamed the supporters of slavery in the audience that they formed a mob and stabbed one of them. Cody helped to drag his father to safety, although he never fully recovered from injuries. The family was constantly persecuted by the advocates of slavery, forcing Isaac Cody to spend much of their time away from home. His enemies knowledge of a planned visit to his family and planned to kill him on the road. Cody, despite his youth and the fact that he was ill, rode 30 miles (48 km) to warn his father. Cody's father died in 1857 of complications from his stabbing.
After the death of his father, family Cody suffered financial difficulties, and Cody, 11, took a job with a carrier as a "boy extra" up and down the length of a railcar, delivering messages. From there, he joined the army of Johnston as a member of the unofficial scouts assigned to guide the Army to Utah to end falsely reported a rebellion by the Mormon population of Salt Lake City. According to the story of Cody's own story of Buffalo Bill, the Utah War was where the first once started his career as an "Indian fighter".
Currently, the moon was born, died before me and painted boldly across its face was the picture of an Indian. He wore the bonnet of the Sioux war, on his shoulder a rifle pointed at someone in the river-bottom 30 feet (9 m) below, drop it in a second one of my friends. I raised my old mouth-loader and fired. The number fell, fell down the bank and landed with a splash in the water. "What is this? 'Called McCarthy, as he ran back. "It's there in the water." Hi, "he cried." Billy Little killed an Indian, alone! " Thus began my career as a fighter Indian.
At age 14, Cody was struck by gold fever, but on his way to the gold fields, he met an agent for the Pony Express. He signed with them and after building way stations and corrals was given a different job from the pilot, who remained until he was called home to his mother's bedside disease.

From 1868 until 1872 Cody was hired as a scout for the U.S. Army. Part of that time he spent scouting for Indians, and the remainder was spent gathering and killing bison to them and the Kansas Pacific Railroad. In January 1872 Cody was a scout for the Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia highly publicized real hunting.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West
The Wild West Show, 1890
In December 1872 Cody traveled to Chicago to make his debut in the theater with a friend in Texas Jack Omohundro Scouts of the Prairie, one of the original Wild West shows produced by Ned Buntline. During the 1873-74 season, Cody and Omohundro invited his friend James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok to join them in a new play called Scouts of the Plains.
The troupe toured for ten years and his part typically included an 1876 incident at the Creek Warbonnet where he claimed to have scalped a Cheyenne warrior, purportedly to avenge the death of George Armstrong Custer.
It was the era of the great showmen and traveling entertainers. Cody mount a new show that traveling on both forms of entertainment. In 1883, the area of North Platte, Nebraska he founded "Buffalo Bill's Wild West" (Despite popular belief, the word "show" was not a part of the title), a traveling circus attraction annually.
In 1893 the title was changed to "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World." The show began with a parade on horseback, with participants from cultural groups horse, which included U.S. and other military, American Indians, and performers from around the world in their best costume. There were Turks, Gauchos, Arabs, Mongols and Georgians, among others, each showing their own distinctive horses and colorful costumes. Visitors to this spectacle can see the main events, feats of skill, staged races and shows. Many authentic western personalities were part of the show. For example Sitting Bull and a band of twenty warriors appeared. Cody headline performers were well known in its own right. People like Annie Oakley and her husband Frank Butler put on shooting exhibitions along with the likes of Gabriel Dumont. Buffalo Bill and his artists that enact the riding of the Pony Express, Indian attacks on trains, cars and burglary investigation. The show usually ended with a melodramatic re-enactment Custer's Last Stand in which Cody himself portrayed General Custer.
Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill, Montreal, QC, 1885
The profits of this program allowed him to acquire a farm of 4,000 acres (16 km2) near North Platte, Neb., in 1886. Scout's Rest Ranch included a mansion room eighteen years and a large barn for storage Winter's livestock show.
In 1887 he took the show to Britain to celebrate the Jubilee year of Queen Victoria. The show was staged in London before to go to Birmingham and then Salford, near Manchester, where he stayed for five months. In 1889 the show toured Europe. In 1890, he met Pope Leo XIII. He mounted an exhibition near the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, which greatly contributed to its popularity, and also the promoters of the controversial show. As noted The Devil in the White City, he had been rejected in his application to join the fair, so he has set up shop just to the west of the fairgrounds, drawing many of their patrons away. Since his show was not part of the fair, he was not obliged to pay royalties to the prosecutors, who could have used to temper their troubles financial.
Irrigation
Larry McMurtry, along with some historians as RL Wilson, says that at the turn of the 20th century Buffalo Bill Cody was the celebrity more recognizable on the ground. And yet, despite all show recognition and appreciation Cody brought to the Western and American Indian cultures, Buffalo Bill saw the American West change dramatically during his tumultuous life. Bison herds, which had once numbered in the millions, are threatened with extinction. Railroads crossed the plains, barbed wire, and other types of fences divided the land to farmers and ranchers, and tribes, since they threaten natives were now almost completely confined to reservations. Wyoming coal resources, oil and natural gas were beginning to be explored to the end of his life.
Even the Shoshone River was dammed for hydroelectric power, well as for irrigation. In 1897 and 1899 Cody and his associates acquired the State of Wyoming the right to draw water from the Shoshone River to irrigate about 169 hectares (680 km2) land in the Big Horn Basin. They began development of a canal to carry water diverted from the river, but their plans do not include a water storage tank. Cody and his companions were unable to raise sufficient capital to complete his plan. In early 1903 they joined with the Board of Commissioners of the Land Wyoming, urging the federal government to intervene and assist with the development of irrigation in the valley.
The Shoshone Project became one of the first federal water projects undertaken development by the newly formed Recovery Service, which became known as the Bureau of Reclamation. After recovery in 1903 took over the project, engineers investigating recommended the construction of a dam on the Shoshone River canyon west of Cody.
Construction of Dam Shoshone began in 1905, one year after the project Shoshone was authorized. Nearly three decades after its construction, the name of the dam and reservoir was changed to Buffalo Bill Dam by an act of Congress to honor Cody.
Life in Cody, Wyoming
In 1895, William Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the county seat of Park in northwestern Wyoming. The place where the community was created is now the Museum of Old Town Trail, which honors the traditions of Western life. Cody first passed through the region in 1870. He was so impressed with the development possibilities from irrigation, rich soil, great scenery, hunting, and the proximity to Yellowstone Park, who returned in the mid of 1890 to start a town. He brought with him men whose names are still on street signs in downtown area of Cody Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salsbury. The city was Built in 1901.
In November 1902, Cody opened the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody, a hotel named after his daughter. He predicted a growing number of tourists to the city via the railway line recently opened Burlington. He hoped that they would spend money in local businesses, including the Hotel Irma. Cody also expect that they would proceed to Cody Road along the North Fork Shoshone River to visit Yellowstone Park. To accommodate travelers along Highway Cody, Cody has completed the construction of the Wapiti Pahaska Tepee Inn in 1905 and open to both guests.
Cody has also established the TE Ranch, which was located on the South Fork Shoshone River about 35 miles from Cody. When he acquired the property ET, he ordered the movement of cattle in Nebraska and South Dakota to Wyoming. This took the brand new herd TE. The late 1890s were relatively prosperous year for Buffalo Bill's Wild West and used part of the profits accrue to lands that were added to the collection TE. Cody eventually held nearly eight thousand acres (32 km) of private land for grazing operations and ran about a thousand head of cattle. He also operated a dude ranch, pack horse camps, and business Hunting big game in and to the TE Ranch in South Fork Shoshone River. In her spacious and comfortable ranch that entertains people notable in Europe and America.
Living in Staten Island, New York
Cody took his Wild West Show "for an area of Mariners Harbor called Erastina (named for Staten Island Prosecutor Erastus Wiman) for two seasons from June to October 1886 and again in 1887. During the winter of 1886, the show moved into the Madison Square Garden. Her show, with Native Americans, trick riders, "the smallest cowboy" and leafhoppers (including Annie Oakley) is said to have attracted millions of visitors to the island.

Despite his request in one go early to be buried in Cody, Wyoming, a scheme will later left his funeral until his wife Louisa. To date, there is controversy as to where Cody should have been buried. According to the writer Larry McMurtry, Harry Tammen and Frederick Gilmer Bonfils of the Denver Post, which had strong armed Cody when he appeared in his sale Floto Circus, wants to "intimidate or deceived grieving Louisa" and had Cody buried in Colorado. This is consistent with an account by Gene Fowler, who wrote the obituary of Cody for the Post, under the direction of Bonfils and Tammen.
On June 03 1917, Cody was buried on Lookout Mountain in Colorado, Golden, Colorado, west of Denver, on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, overlooking the Great Plains. Your location exact burial was selected by his sister, Mrs. Mary Decker, in looking over the area accompanied by WFR Mills, manager of the Denver Mountain Parks. In 1948, the Cody branch of the Legion American offered a reward for the "Return" of the body, so that the branch of Denver mounted a guard over the grave until a deep shaft could be blasted in rock.
Legacy
Buffalo Bill Cody in 1903
In contrast to his image and stereotype as a rough-hewn outdoorsman, Buffalo Bill pushed for the rights of Indians and women. Moreover, despite its history of killing bison, he supported their conservation by speaking out against hide-hunting and pushing for a hunting season.
Buffalo Bill became so well known and his exploits so ingrained in American culture that his character has appeared in many literary works, as well as programs TV and movies, and two U.S. stamps.

"Each of the Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted of broken promises and broken treaties by the government. "
While in his shows the Indians were usually the "bad guys", attacking trains and diligence wagon, to be led off by "heroic" cowboys and soldiers, Bill also had wives and children of Indian artists set up camp as if were in their homelands as part of the show for the paying public could see the human side of the "brave warriors" who were families like any other, only part of a different culture.
The city of Cody, Wyoming was founded in 1896 by Cody and some investors, and is named for him. It is the home of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.
