This novel, based on the life of Buffalo Bill Cody, is as epic and exciting as the story of the West itself. Cowboy, Pony Express rider, Indian fighter, and scout for General Custer, this legendary American beat the paths that made way for the railroad in America's rugged frontier. But now, in his final hours, old Bill Cody faces the last great challenge, of his life, as the legendary glory flares -- then fades into a new era.
