Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 113: David Crockett, Buffalo Bill, & The Wild West
 
The Wild West evokes images of rugged terrain, cowboys and gunslingers, whose tales transcend time. There’s an Alamo historian who has studied these seminal figures through the lens of pop culture.
 
We reveal the legends of David Crockett and Buffalo Bill, two men whose lives did not intersect but whose legends explain and explore our fascination with the Old West. Featuring Dr. Paul Hutton, interim director of the Buffalo Bill Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
