William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody knew a thing or two about how the Spirit of the American West originated from the very landscape itself. This book tells the story of the five museums and the McCracken Research Library of the Center of the West in spectacular fashion. From his life experiences to his Wild West Show, Buffalo Bill was a man completely captivated by the West...and, since 1917, that same spirit is alive and well within collections of western art, Plains Indian culture, the natural sicence of Yellowstone, Buffalo Bill and western history, and firearms at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. 127 pages includes full color pictures. #21044314
