    The name “Buffalo Bill” is one of the most famous names in the history of the Wild
    West. Bill was a famous fighter and a great hunter. Later in his life he was a great
    showman and one of the first people to protect America’s natural environment.
    William Cody was born in Indiana, on 26th February 1846. In those days, life in the
    American West was very difficult and dangerous, and people used to fight to protect
    their homes.
    Before he was thirteen, Bill was an expert horse-rider and very good with a pistol. Before
    he was twenty years old, Bill left home and worked with the Pony Express company. The
    Pony Express was the post office of the Wild West. The Pony Express riders took letters
    and money to people in different parts of the country. After that, Bill worked hunting
    buffaloes. Some people say he hunted more than 4,000 buffaloes. This is where he got
    his name, “Buffalo Bill”.
    Buffalo Bill was one of the first men in America to say that all Americans had to work
    together. Bill started his famous “Wild West Show” and tried to keep the traditions of the
    Wild West. He helped establish America’s first National Forest reserve
    in Wyoming.
