(Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, 1861-65, I, Leavenworth, 1867.) On March 6, 1865, he was married to Miss Louisa Frederici, of St. Louis, and afterwards ran a hotel for a few months; then again acted as a scout. In 1867-68 he was hunter for Goddard Brothers, who had a contract for boarding employees of the Kansas Pacific Railway construction gang, and in less than eighteen months he is said to have killed 4,280 buffaloes. Being used for food, their ghosts probably never haunted him as they might have done had they been little pigs killed for a pipe-dream. His sobriquet, "Buffalo Bill," was given to him by the railroad hands at this time, but it was popularized by Ned Buntline, who used him as the principal character in a number of sensational novels. In the autumn of 1872, he was elected to the Nebraska Legislature from the 26th District, but he resigned after three weeks, saying that it was only fooling away time to make laws that nobody obeyed. He then joined Ned Buntline in a theatrical venture.

The Frontier Showman: An Examination of Buffalo Bill Cody as a Mythic Western Hero by Ryan Burruss “I next have the honor of introducing to your attention a man whose record as a servant of the government, whose skill and daring as a frontiersman, whose place in history as the Chief of Scouts of the United States Army . . . and whose adherence throughout an eventful life to his chosen principle of ‘true friend and foe,’ has made him well and popularly known throughout the world. You all know to whom I allude — the Honorable William F. Cody, “Buffalo Bill.” In her collection of William F. Cody’s correspondence, Sarah Blackstone concedes that the man has been called both “an American hero and an American heel.” The truth, though, as it so often is, is found somewhere in the middle, somewhere between those two harsh generalizations. The man known far and wide as “Buffalo Bill” has been labeled a Western super-hero , a legend, a lie, a fraud, the last true frontiersman, and a master showman. His reputation has evolved and devolved over the course of the twentieth century as historians have tried to apologize Cody’s myth with the known facts of his life. Some take the perspective that he was another fraudulent byproduct of the concept of Manifest Destiny, a bedtime story to appease the guilt and fear of European Americans intent on conquest. Others, particularly that element of the population that proudly deem themselves “history buffs,” choose to cling to the attractive iconography of the American West, especially the legends and anecdotes that settle around the names of certain key figures.

(CNN) Everything you know about the Pony Express is wrong. Indeed, everything anyone knows about the Pony Express is either an exaggeration or a myth. So says Christopher Corbett, a veteran journalist, who went looking for the truth about the legendary enterprise. He didn't always find it. Instead, he found a wonderful story. The title of his account, "Orphans Preferred: The Twisted Truth and Lasting Legend of the Pony Express" (Broadway Books) , offers a strong hint about how that story unfolds. As fascinating as the facts are, the legends that have grown up around "the Pony" are the heart of its appeal. Despite what Hollywood might have you believe, the Pony Express was first and foremost a business. While the riders who sliced across the western half of the continent had their share of adventures, they had a job to do. They were employed by one of the largest companies in America: Russell, Majors and Waddell, an important freight hauler that also outfitted wagon trains for the great westward migration of the mid-1800's. And it didn't work. After 18 money-losing months, the enterprise folded, displaced by the first cross-country telegraph line.
