Buffalo Bill Cody - Golden Colorado

The Library has a guest speaker tonight at 6:30. The author of Boozers, Brothels, and Bare Knuckle Brawlers: The Tale of Buffalo Bill’s Little Known Benefactor will discuss this factual, enthralling and entertaining account following the escapades of young Englishman Evelyn Booth’s adventures throughout the United states at the end of the late 19th century.
