Quick As Lightning Wild Bill

I Was Persuaded Now That I Was Destined To Lead A Life On The Plains.

My Debut Upon The World's Stage Occurred On February 26th, 1845.

Frontiersmen Good And Bad, Gunmen As Well As Inspired Prophets Of The Future, Have Been My Camp Companions. Thus, I Know The Country Of Which I Am About To Write As Few Men Now Living Have Known It.

It Was My Effort, In Depicting The West, To Depict It As It Was.

On Reaching The Place Where The Indians Had Surprised Us, We Found The Bodies Of The Three Men Whom They Had Killed And Scalped, And Literally Cut Into Pieces.
