EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (1846-1917), an iconic figure of the American West. Known for his various roles as a soldier, bison hunter, and showman, Cody's larger-than-life persona continues to intrigue and fascinate audiences today. Born in Iowa, Cody joined the Pawnee Expedition as a young boy before serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. His experiences on the frontier led him to become a professional bison hunter, earning him the nickname "Buffalo Bill" for his remarkable skills in hunting and killing bison. However, Cody's true calling was in entertainment. In 1883, he founded the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, which showcased the thrills and excitement of the American frontier through a series of live performances. The show featured rodeos, Native American dancers, and reenactments of famous battles, attracting audiences from all walks of life. This portrait, taken during Cody's prime years, captures the wild, untamed spirit of the American West. With his piercing gaze and rugged appearance, Cody embodies the essence of the cowboy and showman, making him a true icon of American history. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Buffalo Bill Cody and the rich history of the American West.
