Summary |
Georgia Duffy and Della Ferrell, both members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, pose on horseback in front of a backdrop with a landscape scene painted on it in a dirt arena at Earl's Court in England. Both women joined the show in 1887 as two of the "Western Girls." They were trick riders and ropers. A native of Colorado, Ferrell, right, wears a wide- brimmed hat with tassles hanging from its rim. Similar tassles hang around the edges of her short coat. Duffy, originally from Wyoming, wears a long skirt adorned with beads and tassles at its hem. She also wears a wide- brimmed hat and a ruffled shirt. |
