 BuffaloBill
Buntline was not a man to be particular about his heroes as long as he had free reign in picturing the hero as performing marvelous and impossible feats of bravery and daring.
The facts about Bill Cody prior to the time Ned Buntline picked him out from under the wagon are these: he was born in Nebraska of loving parents, he had three sisters who adored him, but who were never fooled by the stories written about him.
It is ironical that Ned Buntline the man who picked Cody obscurity and made him one of our great heroes of the Old West should inadvertently be the cause of him starting his amazing career as an actor and showman.

 The Buntline Special
Buntline's prolific pen furnished lurid tales of life on the plains for consumption by any effete world that dwelt east of the Mississippi River and which, in the seventies, demanded that its portraits of Western characters be done in bloody red.
Buntline's outstanding literary achievements had been to make William Cody, a buffalo-hunter, into the renowned 'Buffalo Bill', and from the exploits of Wyatt Earp and his associates he now obtained material for hundreds of frontier yarns, few, authentic, but many of the bases of fables still current as facts.
Today, both the Buntline Special and the New Frontier seem to be a thing of the past with only standard Colt Single Action Army Models being produced in both blue and nickel versions in 4 3/4" and 5 1/2" barrel lengths and in calibers of.38-40,.44-40, and.45 Colt.

While the "Buntline" critics made many valid points and significantly advanced our knowledge, they failed to be exhaustive in their research.
I strongly suspect Ned Buntline gave his five pistols to honor these possemen who finally got their man. That as an old man, Wyatt misremembered Neil Brown for William Duffey never occured to Stuart Lake.

After a wild chase, during which Ned was hit in the chest by one bullet, he fell forty-seven feet from a window (the injury left him with a limp for life) and was captured by the sheriff’s men.
But Ned had one of those miraculous escapes so familiar to readers of the stories he would write: three weeks later a letter from his cell reported that he would be leaving soon; after complaining of the gross injustice done him, he noted that the “rope didn’t break, it was cut by a friend.”
Ned took just four hours to write the play, rehearsed it twice, and it ran for more than two years—two years during which Buffalo Bill became a national hero, symbol of all that was bravest and best on the frontier.
