| Summary |
"Buffalo Bill's Ruse; Or, Won by Sheer Nerve" by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham is a novel written in the early 20th century. This thrilling tale follows the famous frontiersman Buffalo Bill, who embarks on an adventure filled with unexpected twists and colorful characters, including a loud and comical woman named Pizen Kate, who is in search of her runaway husband. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the American West, a time when lawlessness and wild encounters were commonplace. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pizen Kate, who bursts into the town of Eldorado announcing her search for her husband, Nicholas Nomad, who has abandoned her. Her antics draw a crowd, and soon Buffalo Bill makes his appearance, humorously mistaken for her missing spouse. The story quickly sets up intrigue as Buffalo Bill meets John Latimer, a mysterious man who seems to be embroiled in troubles of his own. As the plot develops, various disappearances and dark happenings hint at a deeper mystery that Buffalo Bill will have to navigate amidst the vibrant and often bizarre Western atmosphere. The stage is set for clashes with bandits, adventures with uniquely troubled characters, and a quest that promises both danger and humor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
