About the author

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), in Le Claire but lived several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States.

Reviews

[Merceditas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Contemporáneo de nuestro Lucio V. Mansilla, también militar en la frontera indígena pero del sur. La calidad humana es inversamente proporcional a la de este último. Mientras Mansilla entabla diálogo con la otredad en aras de incluirla en el proyecto de país moderno, Cody disfruta matando y jactándose de sus supuestas habilidades para cazar búfalos e indios por igual. Como narración atrapa al principio pero luego pierde fuerza y termina de forma abrupta. Me alegro de haberlo leido para valorar todavía más la literatura argentina decimonónica.
