[HOOKINDAFOOT]

I have seem to come across photographic evidence Bill Cody had connections to Confederate & English Connections and was actively participating in Actions against the Union Before, During, and After the Civil War.

Looking at his "biography" it seems that at some point it has been professionally washed, seems like a lot of details of his life don't look right, partially missing or omitted.

I am working on a complete and accurate Timeline of "Bill Frederick Cody's" life. If Not sure if Bill Cody was his birth name. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

[HOOKINDAFOOT]

Apparently "Cody" was awarded the Congressional medal of Honor in 1872 for the Indian Wars in 1872 as a scout?
But I can't find any actual official military records of his enlistment in the Union Army?

From what i have heard he spoke with a distint Southern Accent, and sported the distinguished "southern Gentleman Look?

 

[HOOKINDAFOOT]

The Cody name along with most of his exploits seem like pure fabrications, looks like related to a prominent American Family.

Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, possibly?



🤣



They sure got to the bottom of that one.
Didn't they?

🤣

 

[HOOKINDAFOOT]

Actually no help needed. Clowns always leave makeup behind.

 

[HOOKINDAFOOT]

Not exactly sure how "Codys" operation worked, contacted by the likes of "John Tunstall" ex confederate officers and supplied with hired hands like "Billy the kid"?

Haven't completely gone over all Confederate documents, obviously many fakes as far as doctored civil war photos though. In some cases it was pretty tough to get into DC politics if you were associated with the party that blew Lincolns head off.

This "Buffalo Bill Cody" gets more interesting by the moment.

Legends are scarcely ever a true depiction of character. Especially in the 1800s. The eastern press romanticized the heck out of the western image. It sold papers in Philly, DC, Boston etc. They loved to invent “facts” about: Cody, the Earps, Bat Masterson, etc. Look at how they adored Custer; an ego running amok in uniform. They were simply people, caught up in vices that fit that place in time: gambling, drinking, theft, etc. Very opportunistic rascals.

To quote a legend, “Let’s get ready to rumble!”. Let’s have a clean fight, if there’s a knockdown, go to your neutral corner. 🥊. 😀

You have your Bills mixed up, Buffalo Bill was not a traitor, he served in the Union Army 1863-1865.

Wild Bill Hickok (who stop a man from beating Buffalo Bill when he was 11) was a spy for the union during the Civil War and enlisted in Confederate army.

He surely wasn't a traitor to the south then !! He just wasn't a Yankee!!

 

[Blak bart]

Well I guess there was a mix up with the Bills !!

Seems the press really hasn't changed much !!

There were no traitors, every single Southern soldier was pardoned by President Johnson in 1865. They fought for their families, homes and land.

Well fair well and and good by from this thread it's a political trap from the start.
