Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Circus

By Mauri Kunnas

We meet up with a stetson-full of famous Wild West heroes, among them the fearless fur-trapper Davy Crocodile, Wild Bill Hickockerel, the tough sheriff of Grubstake Gulch, trainrobber Jesse Jackrabbit and his gang, and of course the circus artists Annie Sharpshooter and Buffalo Bill. The legends of the Wild West in animal form have never been more fun.
