review 1: The Life and Adventures of William F. Cody, As Told by Himself, produces a picture of life in the old west. Mr. Cody's writing leaves something too be desired and the tales told, especially once he became employed in the army, were repetitive at best. Many of his tales of hunting buffalo began and ended in the same manner, either with a successful hunt, or with a chase involving an angry band of indians. Very little is spoken of concerning his life off of the plains and the author seems to strive toward portraying himself as a good humored and jovial character with an adventurous spirit. All in all this was an interesting book.
review 2: Extremely interesting first hand accounts of what it was like taming the American west. Accounts of many, many scouting trip... mores and Indian skirmishes gets a little boring along the way. However, a good American history refresher. If you read this be sure to google and have handy a map of the American frontier that notes all of the American army forts and the major rivers. These are a helpful reference to understand exactly where things were happening. Very well written considering he only had a few years of schooling! less
