Anfang des 20. Jh. war Buffalo Bill Cody ein Weltstar, vergleichbar heutigen Film- und Fernsehgrößen. Mit seiner Wild-West-Show bereiste der den Globus. Heute gilt er allgemein nur als Zirkusunternehmer und Bisontöter. Tatsächlich gilt er in den USA als einer der ersten populären Interpreten der amerikanischen Pioniergeschichte, und er war vor seiner Weltkarriere ein angesehener Armeescout, Pony-Express-Reiter, Pionier und Politiker, der sich für den Schutz der Bisons und die Rechte der Indianer einsetzte. In einem sachlichen Nachwort behandelt der bekannte Sachbuchautor Dietmar Kuegler zusätzliche Aspekte aus dem bemerkenswerten Leben William Codys.
