Rogers presents the intersections in the epic histories of William F. \"Buffalo Bill\" Cody and the Latter-day Saints from 1846 through 1917. In Cody's autobiography he claimed to have been a member of the U.S. Army wagon train that was burned by the Saints during the Utah War of 1857-58. Less than twenty years later he began his stage career and gained notoriety by performing anti-Mormon dramas. By early 1900 he actively recruited Latter-day Saints to help build infrastructure and encourage growth in the region surrounding his town of Cody, Wyoming. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBuffalo Bill and the Mormons\u003c\/i\u003e Rogers unravels this history and the fascinating trajectory that took America's most famous celebrity from foe to friend of the Latter-day Saints.
