Indians were frequently off their reservations.

Some days I would go without any fire at all, and eat raw frozen meat and melt snow in my mouth for water.

The first presentation of my show was given in May, 1883, at Omaha, which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour, visiting practically every important city in the country.

Quick as lightning Wild Bill pulled his revolver. The stranger fell dead, shot through the brain.

I had many enemies among the Sioux; I would be running considerable risk in meeting them.

We got more provisions for our whiskey than the same money, which we paid for the liquor, would have bought; so after all it proved a very profitable investment.

I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government, by taking them all over the United States, and giving them a correct idea of the customs, life, etc., of the pale faces, so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.
