Lincoln County: The Immortal Showman

By most accounts, world famous wild west performer Willam F. Cody, died a hundred years ago. To the people of Lincoln County, however, he is still alive and well. For decades now, an impersonator has perpetuated the larger-than-life legend of Buffalo Bill for future generations to behold for themselves. In this episode of 93 Counties, we uncover the man, the myth and the ongoing appeal of William "Buffalo Bill" Cody by speaking to the people who tell his stories and bear his name.
