William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was born on this day in 1846 in Iowa. The Codys moved to Kansas as the Territory opened and were front and center of American history from that day on.
Bill Cody was a complex man and I have been completely seduced by him. I see his flaws, but his incredible spirit makes up for them.
This is my favorite photo of him, a young man, whose eyes had already seen death and loss and injustice. What an incredible face. . . .
