Orphaned in West Virginia, Billy Dixon went west as a boy, drove bull teams across the plains, hunted buffalo and scouted for the army. His memoir, set down with his wife’s devoted help, takes in the Medicine Lodge treaty, the 1874 fight at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle with his celebrated long-range rifle shot, and the Buffalo Wallow fight that won him the Medal of Honor.
A plain-spoken first-hand record of the buffalo-hunting frontier, valuable to anyone interested in Texas and the Southern Plains. Download the free EPUB.
