El triunfo de Buffalo Bill, 1953
A Spanish-language version of the 1953 film Pony Express, with Charlton Heston as Buffalo Bill Cody. In his Wild West shows, the real Buffalo Bill Cody promoted the legend of the Pony Express around the world. Hollywood westerns did the same thing.
In his memoirs, published in 1909, Buffalo Bill claims to have been a Pony Express rider at age 14. In that job, he says, he ran off armed bandits, saved a woman and her baby from a charging buffalo, killed two Sioux Indians trying to attack him, escaped several attacks with bullets passing only through his clothing, and made the longest ride in Pony Express history.
How much of Cody's story do you think he made up? |
