BUFFALO BILLS LIFE
Sisters Story Under Title "Last OF
the Great Scouts."@

Sisters Story Under Title 'Last of
the Great Scouts.' r
Helen Cody Wetmore, sister of "Buf-
falo BILL has written biography of her
celebrated brother under the title Of 'The
Last of the Great Scouts" The book
presents vivid portrait Of "a figure
unique in the present generation. 1t is
well written and intensely interesting, as
any work that adequately describes the
strange and fascinating adventures OF
such a man as Colonel Cody must be. =
'Mrs. Wetmore te0sl her brothers story
from his boyhood to the present, time.
She lifts the curtain and givessthe public
glimpses Of his home life. She sees her
hero only with a loving sisters eyes and
recounts many facts heretofore unknown
to the general reader. The book pleases
because Of the simplicity and the beauty
of its diction, the great interest Of it's
subject and because, in this case, truth
is stranger than fiction, for surely the
adventures of "Buffalo Bil1'' are much
more wonderful than the experiences Of
Captain Cutie, even when recounted by
such a master of imaginary history as
Cutcliffe Hume.

pleasure This is particularly true when
the route chosen is the Chicago, Milwau-
