Mining in Oracle, Arizona
William F. Cody
(1846-1917) better known as the Wild West
Show entertainer “Buffalo Bill,” had
invested in many mining interests. One
mine was near the town of Oracle, 40 miles
north of Tucson, Arizona a decade before
the Arizona territory entered Statehood.
Located in the Old Hat Mining District,
Campo Bonito was one of the early gold
mining operations conducted on the
northside of the Santa Catalina Mountains.

Audio Recording: The
Life of Honorable William F. Cody -
as told by Cody
The life and adventures
of Honorable William F. Cody--Buffalo
Bill--as told by himself, make up a
narrative which reads more like romance
than reality, and which in many
respects will prove a valuable
contribution to the records of our Western
frontier history.
While no literary
excellence is claimed for the
narrative, it has the greater merit
of being truthful, and is verified in such
a manner that no one can doubt its
veracity. The frequent reference to such
military men as Generals Sheridan,
Carr, Merritt, Crook, Terry, Colonel
Royal, and other officers under whom Mr.
Cody served as scout and guide at
different times and in various
sections of the frontier, during the
numerous Indian campaigns of the last ten
or twelve years, affords ample proof of
his genuineness as a thoroughbred
scout. (Summary by the publisher). Page
