Book summary
Larry McMurtry tackles the tale of Buffalo Bill--in his life both as an Indian killer and, later, as a showman--and Annie Oakley, the precocious sharpshooter who appeared with his Wild West Show. As he explores these two highly unusual lives, and leads up to the way they dovetail, McMurtry also sheds light on the American West in the late 19th century: the relations between Indians and whites, the ruthless killings of the Indian Wars, and the dangers and odd alliances of the period.
