8vo original blindstamped cloth, with gilt cover vignette, spine lettered in gilt, 365pp. illustrated (steel engraved frontispiece portrait and numerous wood engravings). Covers well stained and worn; new endpapers, foxing to frontispiece and lightly to title page, some soiling within, else good. Cody (1846-1917) the western legend was born in Scott County Iowa in 1846. In April of 1860 he signed on as a Pony Express rider, and by 1863 was a scout with the Kansas Cavalry in operations against the Kiowas and Comanches. By 1868 he was working for a meat contractor who supplied the Kansas Pacific railway construction crews with buffalo meat. He was so good at it he earned the nickname â Buffalo Billâ . By the late 1860s he was already a legend, and a friend wrote a play about him called â Scouts of the Prairiesâ , which he produced in 1872. When the Sioux War broke out he went back to being the chief scout for the 5th Cavalry. On July 17, 1876 he fought a famous duel with Yellow Hand, a son of a Cheyenne chief, after an intense battle he killed and scalped the vanquished Indian. This is a rare first edition of this work, which according to Graff only three or four thousand copies were sold.
