My Sixty Years On The Plains is a gripping memoir that recounts the experiences of a pioneer who witnessed the transformation of the American West. Written by Buffalo Bill Cody, one of the most iconic figures in American history, the book offers a unique perspective on the settlement of the Great Plains.

Born in Iowa in 1846, Cody spent his early years on the frontier. He learned to hunt and ride horses at a young age, and he quickly developed a reputation as a skilled scout and frontiersman. In 1863, he joined the Union Army and fought in the Civil War. After the war, he returned to the frontier and began his career as a buffalo hunter.

Cody's experiences as a buffalo hunter brought him into close contact with Native American tribes. He learned their ways and customs, and he developed a deep respect for their culture. He also witnessed the devastating impact that the white settlers were having on the Native American way of life.

In 1872, Cody founded the town of North Platte, Nebraska. The town quickly became a major center for the cattle industry, and Cody played a key role in the development of the cattle trade. He also served as a scout for the U.S. Army during the Sioux Wars.

In 1883, Cody formed the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. The show was a huge success, and it toured the United States and Europe for many years. It featured cowboys, Indians, and other performers, and it gave audiences a glimpse of the American frontier.

My Sixty Years On The Plains is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of the settlement of the American West. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the frontier.
