- Quotes
William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody: My daddy was killed tryin' to keep slavery outta Kansas.
Oswald Dart: How'd he do that, sir?
William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody: Well, my daddy hated slavery with such a passion, that rather than let the coloreds get in to becomin' slaves, he just fought to keep 'em all out of the state.
