 Buffalo Bill : Buffalo Bill Cody 

William Frederick Cody or Buffalo Bill (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was one of the most colorful figures of the Old West. He assumed his moniker for supplying Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. [1] (http://www.americanwest.com/pages/buffbill.htm)

Following his career as a frontiersman, Buffalo Bill entered show business.  He toured the United States in plays based on his Western adventures, and, in 1883, founded the "Buffalo Bill Wild West Show", a circus-like attraction that toured annually: Annie Oakley[?] and Sitting Bull both appeared in the show. In 1887 he performed in London in celebration of the Jubilee year of Queen Victoria, and toured Europe in 1889. He set up an exhibition near the Chicago world's fair of 1893 (properly the "World's Colombian Exposition"), which greatly contributed to his popularity.

"Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government."
