An American guide, scout, and showman was born on February 26, 1846, in Le Claire, Iowa, United States. He became famous for his daring exploits on the Western frontier and for “Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show,” which he produced. When American Civil War began in 1861, Cody served as a scout and guide for the Union Army. In 1863 he enlisted in the Seventh Kansas Cavalry as an army scout. At the close of the war in 1865 he contracted with the Kansas Pacific Railroad to furnish bison (also called buffalo) meat to the workers on the line. His skill as a sharpshooter earned him the nickname “Buffalo Bill.” According to Cody he killed more than 4,000 bison in less than 18 months, using a .50-caliber breech-loading Springfield rifle. In 1872 the United States government awarded Cody the Medal of Honor for fighting Native Americans on the Platte River, but the government revoked the award 44 years later because he had not been a member of the military at the time of the fighting. In 1883, Cody used his stage experience and sense of showmanship to organize his Wild West Show, an outdoor representation of the most exciting aspects of life on the plains. For almost 20 years he toured Europe and the United States with this celebrated and widely imitated show. Sharpshooter Annie Oakley became a star in the show, and for a season Lakota (Sioux) chief Sitting Bull toured with the show. In 1901, Cody became president of the Cody Military College and International Academy of Rough Riders, a riding school.
Cody died on January 10, 1917, at Denver, Colorado.
