It's Buffalo Bill Cody on horseback....
The reason I'm reading about Cody this morning is that I got served an ad for this book:
That's a great cover — whether you find it offensive or not. I decided to read some reviews of it and found "In America, Is Power in the Hands of Too Many 'Mediocre' Men?" in The New York Times.
Here's where I got distracted into the story of Buffalo Bill:Beginning with William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, the 19th-century showman whose slaughter of American buffaloes was a mere prelude for hunting and killing Indigenous people, Oluo historicizes the creation of a violent and profane American white masculinity. Rooted in “muscular Christianity,” this conception of manliness, she ably demonstrates, also gave us American football, a sport so violent in its early iterations that dozens of the exclusively white men who played it were killed....
The book review has a nice photo of Oluo with the caption: "'White manhood is on a suicide mission,' Ijeoma Oluo writes. It is our job, she argues, to pull these men, and the country they are so ready to take with them, back from the precipice.'"
By the way, sometimes buffalo, following their own natural predilections, go over the precipice what might look like a mass suicide:
When bison travel, they typically form a narrow line in a follow-the-leader type of fashion, particularly when untrammeled winter snows impose high energetic costs to bison venturing off packed trails. To add to the issue, bison can run up to 35 mph. If these two aspects are combined, it would be extremely difficult for a large herd running at top speed to stop quickly before reaching eminent danger, for one would run right into the next. There is record that in 1867, a herd of 4,000 bison attempted to cross the Platte River in Nebraska and ran into loose quicksand near the river, one right after the other because they were simply following the herd.
