Reviews
On Feb 29 2016, a reader said:
For American histories of early west, this is an enjoyable book that traces W.F. Cody's family trials in Kansas and his youth and coming of age -- beginning after his fathers murder by Pro-Slavery advocates at 12 on the western plains as well as his participation in the Civil War. Especially interesting was learning he was born in Iowa. I have a nice 1909 copy.
