As long as you leave out the Native Americans he fought, killed, and scalped.....

Scouts don't do much fighting if any, 

 

And if you're talkin wartime, it's wartime.. both sides are killing each other

 

Bill Cody made natives very rich taking them around the world

On a related note, no one knows why the city is called Buffalo.  I don't think that buffalo ever ranged in WNY.  I know that someone will point out that the city is named after Buffalo Creek but that just shifts the question to how did the creek get its name.

 

I once read an after-dinner speech by Grover Cleveland delivered about 1885 on this issue.  I can't find it on the web now but here's a link that includes much of what was in that speech:

Basically the origin story is it's a French translation of beau fleuve (pronounced bo-flu

 

Beautiful river

So as long as you make people rich , all is forgiven? It was most definitely war.  Scalping Yellow Hair was just all in a days work is a bit of a trivial way of looking through the lens of history. Cody’s hands had plenty of blood on them.

You do realize natives scalped Americans too?

 

And during wartime especially in the 1800 nothing's off the table during fighting

 

If he want around raping women and children it be a different story, he was a scout in the military

 

He did his job

 How do you know he didn’t do those things? Were you there? History has never been sanitized to suit a narrative of the rich and powerful.

Nobody knows for sure. But besides football my life's passion is history

 

And he did and said plenty of good things about native Americans.. and helped out a bunch

 

If he committed war crimes, I would never stick up for that

I always think as bob like poodles' tails - bobbed off.  Not good idea.

 

Maybe Billy Buffalo can be bobbed.

Bells on bobtail ring??

 

I always think of the woman's haircut myself.

 

I was kidding anyway.  Buffalo Bills is just fine by me!

So, would you consider scalping someone a war crime? 

And is killing over 4000 Bison, which the Sioux depended on for their way of life, helping out?

Dude you can go back in history and find not good things that every single person alive has done. Every single person

 

Native Americans used to scalp Europeans during war, it's wartime in the 1800s

 

There is nothing gentleman about war in that time.  He was not committing genocide

 

And getting into debates about killing animals leads nowhere . It was done way before Bill Cody, and way after

 

he wasn't the only one killing bison, and he did not almost make them go extinct

 

he was hired by the railroads to feed the workers, so that's why he went on that spree and killed four thousand bison..

 

He wasn't killing them for fun and he did not almost kill them all..  wildlife experts agree that Bisons were dying off due to disease en mass and not slaughter

 

It would have been impossible for American hunters, to wipe out over 60 million bison over hundreds of thousands of square miles.. it was disease

No Bison good thing they can always fall back on mammoths. Though purposefully hunting bison to extinction was ***** up, though Cody becoming a conservationist who'd advocate for hunting seasons likely regretted what happened with them.

It's actually a scientific fact he didn't almost hunt them to Extinction. That is new age propaganda

 

there was over 60 million bison in hundreds of thousands of square miles. And Bill Cody only killed 4,000 to feed railroad workers... That is actually what happened

 

Bisons died out in Mass due to disease, not hunting, that's the truth

 

Cody did not kill nearly enough to drive anything to Extinction

I didn't mean just him.

 

Quote

General Sherman remarked, in conversation the other day, that the quickest way to compel the Indians to settle down to civilized life was to send ten regiments of soldiers to the plains, with orders to shoot buffaloes until they became too scarce to support the redskins.

Sure , we killed some Bison

 

But like I said, Americans did not drive them to Extinction, they did not kill 60 million bison.. today we know it was way more disease than actual hunting

 

We didn't have the manpower out there to kill 60 million bison. 

 

And there's tons of other food out there on the plains to hunt, including antelope and deer. We maybe killed tens of thousands of bison, not tens of millions

 

And disease did the rest

You seem to have trouble with the idea that you can’t be on both sides of the fence.

No mention of disease here.
