Excerpt from "Buffalo Bill" From Prairie to Palace: An Authentic History of the Wild West, With Sketches, Stories of Adventure, and Anecdotes of "Buffalo Bill, " the Hero of the Plains Born at a time, and reared in an atmosphere, the most romantic and adventurous known in the history of our Amer ican frontier, when the tidal wave of human progress, sweep i'ng westward, was making history faster than the historians could record it - it was his fate to be in the field, and his fort une to grasp the opportunities to meet the situation's require ments, and, in the beaten path of what seemed ordinary daily duty, to rise, by reason of his sterling qualities, his daring, and his courage, to the distinction of a leader. So quickly was the history of the central West recorded, as to make the Great American Desert of our childhood seem almost a geographical mirage, a tale of the romancer. It would seem to be a fairy story were it not for the fact of its settlement, and the evidences of its now almost ancient civilization.
