Buffalo Bill The Making of an American Legend - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

He was a Pony Express rider at fourteen, a Civil War soldier, a scout who earned the Medal of Honor, and the showman who brought the Wild West to the world's stage. But behind the buckskin and the legend lies a story far more extraordinary than any dime novel ever dared to tell.

But who was the real man beneath the legend? A visionary ahead of his time who championed Native Americans and women in an age that dismissed both? A relentless self-promoter who blurred the line between truth and spectacle until even he couldn't tell the difference? Or something far more complex, a man who lived so many lives that no single story could ever contain him?

"Buffalo Bill: The Making of an American Legend" is a sweeping, riveting account of how one man's life became inseparable from the story of America itself, a tale of reinvention, ambition, glory, and heartbreak set against the most dramatic chapter in the nation's history.

"This is the definitive story of the man who didn't just witness the making of the American West; he "became" it."
