Biographies of William Frederick Cody rarely address these fourteen rather obscure years when Cody honed the skills that would make him the world-renowned entertainer as he is now remembered. In this revision of her earlier book, Buffalo Bill, Actor, Sandra Sagala chronicles the decade and a half of Cody's life as he crisscrossed the country entertaining millions. She analyzes how the lessons he learned during those theatrical years helped shape his Wild West program, as well as Cody, the performer. 606 $aPioneers$zWest (U.S.)$vBiography 606 $aEntertainers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aActors$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMelodrama, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican drama$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWild west shows$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aWest (U.S.)$vBiography 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aEntertainers 615 0$aActors 615 0$aMelodrama, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWild west shows$xHistory 676 $a978/.02092 676 $aB 700 $aSagala$b Sandra K$01809275 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968690703321 996 $aBuffalo Bill on stage$94359988 997 $aUNINA
