Description:
Laced with engaging anecdotes and featuring more than twenty photographs, William F. Cody's Wyoming Empire is a much needed look at an overly mythologized character. There was more to William F. Cody than the Wild West show--and we cannot construct a full picture of the man without understanding his entrepreneurial activities in Wyoming.
