Buffalo Bill was primarily a showman. He created and operated the Buffalo Bill's Wild West, a circus like show he later renamed Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. The show presumed to reenact events from the early west. Some say he was the most well known American in about 1900, but I doubt that, I think Mark Twain was the most widely known American. If he contributed to the westward movement it was by causing people to become interested in the west from seeing his show.
