- Summary
- "In 1887 William F. Cody introduced his Wild West exhibition to European audiences. With its colorful portrayal of cowboys, Indians, and the taming of the North American frontier, Buffalo Bill's Wild West popularized a myth of American national identity and shaped European perceptions of the United States.
