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.

Ask us did the railroad companies respond to the buffalo?
Railroad companies significantly impacted buffalo populations in the 19th century, largely by facilitating the westward expansion and settlement of the Great Plains. As railroads expanded, they made it easier for hunters to access buffalo herds, leading to massive overhunting. Additionally, the construction of railroads disrupted buffalo migration patterns and habitat. In response to declining buffalo numbers, some companies attempted to promote buffalo as a tourist attraction, but their efforts were ultimately overshadowed by the ongoing decline of the species.
Why did the US government sanction the killing of the buffalo herds?
The U.S. government sanctioned the killing of buffalo herds primarily to undermine Native American tribes' way of life, as the buffalo were a crucial resource for their food, clothing, and shelter. By decimating the buffalo population, the government aimed to force Native Americans onto reservations and facilitate westward expansion and settlement by white settlers. This strategy was part of a broader policy to assimilate Indigenous peoples and diminish their resistance to U.S. territorial claims.
Who were the buffalo hunters in the old west?
Buffalo hunters in the Old West were individuals, often of European descent, who hunted American bison primarily for their hides, meat, and bones during the mid to late 19th century. Their activities were driven by the demand for buffalo products, especially for the booming leather industry and to supply meat to railroad workers. The mass hunting significantly contributed to the near extinction of the buffalo population and had devastating effects on Native American tribes who relied on the bison for their livelihood. Buffalo hunters were often seen as both opportunistic entrepreneurs and agents of destruction in the context of westward expansion.
