Buffalo Bill . . . sentimental poetry . . . political riots . . . nine marriages to eight wives . . . member of the local school board . . . hunter/fisherman: Edward Zane Carroll Judson, aka Ned Buntline (and Edward Minturn and Jack Brace and other nom de plumes) packed a lot into his 63 years (or was it 64 or 65, he wasn’t consistent about his birth year, either).
He was a high-toned literary critic/dime novelist; Temperance lecturer/heavy drinker; family man/bigamist; naval hero/army deserter; died at 63/hanged at 23.
Ned Buntline, whatever one knows about him, the opposite is also true.
