He is supposed to have won the name "Buffalo Bill" in an eight-hour shooting match with a hunter named William Comstock, presumably to determine which of the two Buffalo Bill’s deserved the title.
PETA would throw a sissy fit!

Thanks, Sam. You expressed this so well.
But all too soon Buffalo Bill did die on January 30, 1917. His illness, death and funeral plans were reported in many newspapers. My personal favorite, simple but revealing the nation's sense of loss, is a cartoon from the Boston Records of January 15. A young boy is seated at a table, head resting on his arms, with his faithful dog looking on with a sorrowful expression. A picture of Buffalo Bill is on the wall, the "History of the Wild West" is opened on the table, and a newspaper headlined "Buffalo Bill is Dead" is lying on the floor. A simple cartoon tells it all.

It is interesting to note they took his medal back a year before he died. That must have really hurt him. He must have had some enemies. I wonder what "brave" soul was behind the reason for doing that who could attack the reputation of an aging old man and stab him in the back like that.

Neat story today Sam. I like what Colonel Carr had to say about him.
I'll bet he charmed the ladies, too.

Well, is it true?
If so provide 3 proofs.
