Understanding 9/11Insight: Mayor of Bethlehem / Buffalo Bill
Audio With External Links Item Preview
The Mayor of Bethlehem, Victor Batarseh, joins host Jeffrey Callison in studio today to talk about life in Bethlehem and the West Bank, and Middle East politics.
Buffalo Bill Cody was arguably the world's most famous and best-loved American at the height of his popularity in 1900. Louis Warren, a UC Davis professor of history, joins Jeffrey to talk about the Buffalo Bill he came to know in writing his book, Buffalo Bill's America: William Cody and the Wild West Show. Warren makes the case that Cody was a master at reading and translating cultural anxieties into a popular show that helped reinforce the west's identity. But, Warren wonders, was Bufallo BIll a real frontiersman, or just a showman?
