From there he joined the army Johnston as a member of the unofficial scouts assigned to guide the army to Utah to suppress a rebellion by the people falsely reported Mormon Salt Lake City. According to the story of Cody in Buffalo Bill's own story, the Utah War was where he began his career as a fighter "Indian".

It was this war-bonnet the Sioux, the shoulder was a rifle pointed at someone in the 30 river bottom feet (9 meters) below, in a second, he would pass One of my friends. I raised my old muzzle loader and fired. The figure collapsed, tumbled down the bank and landed with a splash in the water. "What is it? McCarthy called, as he hurried back. 'It was there in water. "Hi! he cried. 'Little Billy has killed an Indian all by himself! Thus began my career as an Indian hunter.

The Wild West Show, 1890
In December 1872 Cody traveled to Chicago to make his debut with his friend Texas Jack Omohundro in Scouts of the Prairie region, one of the first shows of the Far West by Ned Buntline product. During the 1873-74 season, Cody and Omohundro invited their friend James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok to join them in a new play called Scouts of the Plains.
The troupe toured for ten years and its share typically included an incident in 1876 at the Warbonnet Creek where he claimed to have scalped a Cheyenne warrior, purportedly in revenge for the death George Armstrong Custer.
Those were the days of carnival and Travellers great. Cody put up a new travel show based on these two forms entertainment. In 1883, in North Platte, Nebraska, he founded "Buffalo Bill's Wild West" (despite popular misconception, the word "spectacle" was not part of the title) a circus attraction that has been played every year.
In 1893, the title was changed to "West Buffalo Bill's Wild and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. "The show started with a parade on horseback, with participants in groups of horses culture which included U.S. military and other American Indians, and artists from around the world in their finery.

Irrigation
Larry McMurtry, and some historians as RL Wilson, says that at the turn of the 20th century Buffalo Bill Cody was the celebrity most recognizable on earth. And yet, despite all the recognition and appreciation shown for Cody brought the West and the American Indian, Buffalo Bill saw the American West change dramatically during his tumultuous life. herds of bison, which once numbered millions, are now threatened with extinction. Railways across the plain, barbed wire, and other types of fences divided the land for farmers and ranchers, and Indian tribes once in danger were almost completely confined to reservations. Wyoming coal resources, oil and natural gas begun to be exploited at the end of his life.
Even the Shoshone River has been blocked for hydropower and for irrigation. In 1897 and 1899 Cody and Associates has acquired the state of Wyoming the right to take water from the Shoshone River to irrigate about 169,000 acres (680 km2) of land in the Big Horn Basin. They began developing a channel to carry water diverted from the river, but their plans did not include a storage tank water. Cody and his associates were unable to raise sufficient capital to complete their plan. In beginning of 1903 they joined with the Council of Commissioners of Wyoming land, urging the federal government to intervene and assist the development of irrigation in the valley.
The Shoshone Project became one of the first federal water development undertaken by the new service delivery in a state, which later became known as Bureau of Reclamation. After restoration has taken over in 1903, the engineers recommended the investigation construction of a dam on the Shoshone River in the west of Canyon Cody.
Shoshone Dam began in 1905, one year after that the project was authorized Shoshone. Nearly three decades after its construction, the name of the dam and the reservoir was changed to Buffalo Bill dam by an act of Congress in honor Cody.
Life in Cody, Wyoming
In 1895, William Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the seat of Park County in northwestern Wyoming. The site where the community has been created is now the path of the Old Town Museum, which honors the traditions of Western life. Cody first passed through the region in the 1870s. He was so impressed by the possibilities of developing irrigation, rich soil, great scenery, hunting, and proximity to Yellowstone Park that he returned in the mid-1890s to begin city. He brought with him men whose names are still on street signs in downtown area of Cody Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salsbury. The city was incorporated 1901.
