Outstanding book, a story of a true American icon

Who would want to read novels, or watch fiction on television when you can read the real life story of a famous western icon like Pawnee Bill? What a person to look up to! Western hero, defender of Indians, bison, savy businessman, millionaire, bucksins, gaunlets, Stetson hats, bison herds, courted and married a young Smith college beauty, bought a 2000 acre ranch in Oklahoma, bought out the Buffalo Bill wild west show, saved his friend Buffalo Bill from his debts! Build Old Town near Pawnee, helped the Boy Scouts of America with his generous gifts, friend to European heads of state and artists from Taos to Belgium. Highest recommendations, as a story of a western icon who outlived his peers. A tale of both triumph and sadness!
