According to his biography (http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/3/10030/10030-8.txt) He was born 1845 not 1846 -- --Harno 23:51, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC). check

[edit] wtf?
My great-great-great-great uncle Buffalo Bill didn't claim to have scalped a Cheyenne warrior,he Shot and Scalped the Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hair (mistaken as Yellow Hand)in a duel, but when i changed on his page it reverted as vandalism. WTF? Read any book on him people!
[edit] yeah right.
you are wrong zoe, he was born in 1846 not 1845. look at another dictionary. a real book, and not a website, ok?
Buffalo Bill's only known biography that he wrote does say that he was born in 1845. Who are you going to believe, a text book that was so wrong that it could have said It wasn't Custer's fault for his death, or the man himself who this page is about? Bcody 13:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources section
What's that 8 supposed to be? --71.112.94.131 00:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ???=
removed from article "Bizarrely, evidence suggests that Buffalo Bill was the official guest at the opening of a shooting club in Urmston in the United Kingdom. The club has since been demolished to make way for housing." whats bizzare about it...its seems like a non-sequitor
[edit] Wild Bill couldn't have performed in the Wild West
The dates don't work. Buffalo Bill launched his Wild West in 1883, according to this article, and Wild Bill was shot dead in 1876.
He was never in the Wild West Show. Wild Bill did perform in plays with Buffalo Bill. Wild Bill was known to play pranks on the actors, and after one night Buffalo Bill told him that he had to stop or he would be kicked out. Wild Bill left in the middle of the show. A few days later Buffalo Bill found Wild Bill in a bar and Wild Bill apologized. Wild Bill then went out west where he was shot in 1876. Bcody 13:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 7th Kansas Cavalry Regiment
I have a very interesting newspaper article sitting here withme. I learned a few weeks ago that Buffalo Bill served along side my great-great-grandfather in the 7th Kansas Cavalry Regiment and I have a very very old newspaper article from when he visited my great-great-grandfather... Any suggestions on how to / if to add it. I also have some other information I might add.--Azslande 08:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quite Interesting...
I have no source available, but on a British programme QI, it announced evidence that actually, Buffalo Bill slayed bison, not buffalo, due to the obvious problem that there were no buffalo in North America at the time! Unfortunately, nobody could tell the difference. This is all well and good, but without a source, I ought not put it on the page, unless it were in a rumoured section. Unless anybody else can find out the same thing? Alex Holowczak 18:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's well known that the American bison was erroneously called the "buffalo" in America. Wahkeenah 21:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's okay then! Alex Holowczak 18:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
