In 2005, Warren published Buffalo Bill’s America: William Cody and the Wild West Show
(Knopf, 2005). A cultural biography of William Cody, this book explores how a child of the frontier Great Plains became one of America’s greatest showmen and the most famous American in the world. Much more than a story of one man’s life, the book explores how a nineteenth-century American decided that representing a version of his own life to mass audiences was a viable career, and how he attracted hundreds of performers – – Indians, cowboys, and Mexican vaqueros among others – – to join him in the traveling company town of the Wild West Show. Among the book’s core arguments is that peoples have empowered themselves by enacting or re – enacting even stereotypical mythologies about themselves. Buffalo Bill’s America was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title, and was awarded the Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize of the University of Nebraska Great Plains Studies Center, the Western Writer’s of America Spur Award for Best Non-Fiction Book, the Caughey Western History Association Prize for best book in western history, and the Albert J. Beveridge Award of the American Historical Association (for best book about the history of the post-1492 Americas).
