Call NumberNS-31Date1885-1900SummaryWilliam Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody poses on his dark horse, "Duke," in a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Cody wears a buckskin coat adorned with tassles and beads; a wide-brimmed hat with one side curled up, probably a Stetson; and thigh boots. Cody is between two men, also on horseback and wearing long wool coats with decorative trim. The men are possibly Hungarian riders who are part of Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World. A group of Sioux men, some wearing feather headdresses, stands in the background near a long, one-story building. Two large buildings are in the right center distance.Physical Description1 copy photonegative ; 9 x 11 cm (3 1/2 x 4 1/4 in.); 1 photoprint : black and white ; 20 x 24 cm (7 1/2 x 9 1/2 in.) on mat 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectDakota IndiansIndians of North America--Clothing and dressWild west showsHorsesBuffalo Bill, 1846-1917Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowCollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR700105031Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsOriginal Material Found in CollectionSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowNotesBuffalo Bill's Wild West in Chicago - 1898 - Buffalo Bill on DĚ€uke' - given him by Gen.
