Buffalo Bill on Tour

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Who invented the Wild West? Buffalo Bill Cody saw his life as a genuine frontiersman of the American West being retold for hungry audiences back East. He came up with the idea of taking living history- cowboys, horses and buffalo - on tour, even recruiting native American Indians from the very battlefields in which their entire culture was destroyed. Fraser Harrison follows the tourthat brought Queen Victoria out of mourning. Producer Tim Dee
