Buffalo Bill Mathewson
I've developed a blog for the research and writing I'm doing about another ancestor, William "Buffalo Bill" Mathewson, who was my grandmother, Ella Banks Place's uncle. No, he wasn't Buffalo Bill Cody, although the two played prominent roles in the West and did meet.
I've written about Uncle Buffalo Bill, given talks about him, and now am developing a children's book about his life. He played an important role on the Santa Fe Trail, in Indian peace talks, developing trading posts, and founding Wichita, Kansas.
Although I haven't compiled too much online about Uncle William (Buffalo Bill) yet, I plan to do so as I finish my book.
