威廉弗雷德裏克科迪 (Buffalo Bill Cody) 又名野牛比爾 (Buffalo
Bill) ，是一位水牛獵人、美軍偵察兵及印第安戰士。但他最為人所知的身份可能是蠻荒西部 (Wild
West) 的代表人物，他
製作了一部名為「野牛比爾的西大荒及世界級馴馬師大會」 (Buffalo
Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World) 的精彩
表演，這場表演享譽全球並為美國西部創造了一個永恆不變的形象。野牛比爾的主要貢獻在於創造了美國西部神話，一如好萊塢電影及電視影集所呈現出的蠻荒景象。
William Frederick Cody, known as Buffalo Bill, was a buffalo hunter, U.S. army scout, and an Indian fighter. But he is probably best known as the man who gave the Wild West its name. He produced a colorful show called Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World, which had an international reputation and helped create a lasting image of the American West. Buffalo Bill was a major contributor in the creation of the myth of the American West, as seen in Hollywood movies and television.
