      abstract = {The American legend that is Buffalo Bill Cody was formed  from three main sources: the man, the Wild West Show, and  the printed word. Helen Cody was the fourth of five  daughters of the Isaac Cody family. Her brother, Bill, was  four years older and she idolized him. Although Mrs.  Wetmore stated that she told "a plain unvarnished tale" and  that "embarrassed by riches of fact I have had no thought  of fiction," the book treats fact lightly. Its obvious  exaggerations and inventions not only helped to establish  the Buffalo Bill legend but they also gave ammunition to  the debunkers of Cody. It was easy to prove the book to be  laced with fiction and it followed that its hero was a  fraud. The living hero did not care because he was in show  business and knew the value of publicity. - Introduction.},
