BY reason of his unique personality
his feats as scout, Indian fighter, buf.
falo hunter and frontiersman, and his
success as a gigantic Snowman, Col
William F. Cody has won an interna-
tional reputation and endeared himself
to countless admirers in Europe anc
America. His sister, Helen Cody Wet
more of Duluth, MINI, has written his
life up to date under the taking title OF
1.-THE Last of the Great Scouts" in
which she enables the public to see him
through her kindly eyes. But Buffalo
Bill needs no indulgent biOgrapher ia
chronicle his deeds of daring-he is al
ready one of our natural heroes and
myth-centres.
Col. Cody gives point to the old say
ing: Truth is stronger than fiction,
for nothing could be more thrilling than
his life. He was born in Davenport,
Ia, the fourth child in a family of sew
en-. As little boy he saved the life of
his sisters by his accurate marksman-
ship, and while still boy he drove the
pony express from Fort Kearney to
San Francisco. He has been attacked
by Mormons, set upon by robbers, and
the psychological moments he has both
given and endured through the hostili-
ties Of the noble red man, would alone
suffice to make a first class story Of adj
venture. As it is, Col Cody has fur
nished his biographer with a store of
heroic material that in its rich profu-
sion must prove very embarrassment
Of riches.
When Col. Cody is not travelling with
his mammoth show, he lives among the
foothills to the west Of the Big Horn
basin. on the Shoshone mountains,
where he owns a ranch of 10000 acres,
including many small lakes. and mea-
surfing so square miles. Mrs. Wetmore
has told her story with much detail,
but in a thoroughly interesting fashion,
and it would be hard to imagine more
fascinating work 70 the average boy
and young man. There are 81 wood
cuts.
Miss Katherine T. Sullivan was one
