Page v Acknowledgments I should name at least 150 persons who have been generous with information for this book, and some of them have been mentioned for specific help in footnotes. Among those whose aid has been of broad scope, first should be the late General Charles King, who wrote and told me of Hat Creek and of much more. Chris Madsen was a stimulating correspondent. Agnes Wright Spring, state historian of Colorado, far exceeded the duties of that generous profession in giving me a packing box full of notes and material she had assembled on the show. Maurice Frink, executive director of the Colorado State Historical Society, and Nyle H. Miller, secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, have been continuously on the lookout for material. J. Edward Leithead, Albert Johannsen, and Colonel C. D. Randolph taught me all I know about dime novels. Of the Cody family, Hiram S. Cody, Mary Jester Allen, and Lydia S. Cody were of great help. A few among many others include: William D. Aeschbacher, Nebraska State Historical Society; Lola M. Homsher, Wyoming state historian; Victor Gondos, Jr., and Elbert L. Huber, National Archives; Stanley Pargellis, Newberry Library; Warder H. Cadbury, Adirondack Museum; Alys Freeze, Denver Public Library; Herbert Kahler, David L. Hieb, and Major Edward S. Luce, National Parks Service; Walter C. Scholl, circus collector; Fred B.
