Excerpt from "Buffalo Bill" From Prairie to Palace: An Authentic History of the Wild West; With Sketches, Stories of Adventure, and Anecdotes of "Buffalo Bill," the Hero of the Plains
So quickly was the history of the central West recorded, as to make the Great American Desert of our Childhood seem almost a geographical mirage, a tale of the romancer. It would seem to be a fairy story were it not for the fact of its settlement, and the evidences of its now almost ancient Civilization.
