His father taught Bill to love horses when he was a boy in Kansas. Bill also inherited his fathers gift of showmanship.
Illustrations: Riding the Pony Express was such fun that Bill hardly thought about danger -- Over one shoulder he had slung a quiver of arrows -- As Sam tried to stop her, she reared up on her hind legs -- It seemed to Bill that all the world was rolling west -- Bill looked at that pony and knew right away he had to have it -- Pony rolled his belly toward the sun -- "Come," Long Bow said, and led the way to the village -- As the stallion came by, he made a fast toss -- Next morning, Bill and his father left early for Leavenworth -- It was a tough outfit, but every man knew his job and did it -- Bill gripped his rifle and sighted along the barrel -- Shrill war cries shattered the silence of the canyon -- Bill kept the snorting black mass going in a circle -- Bill took the reins and swung up into the saddle -- "Cody," he whispered to himself, "you've fetched 'em!" -- "Allow me to present the greatest scout of the West -- Buffalo Bill!"
