Call NumberNS-397Date1892SummaryJohn Burke, press agent for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, holds a newspaper in his hands while standing in front of a log cabin talking with John Y. Nelson, a scout and driver of the Deadwood Stagecoach. A Georgian Russian Cossack, Meliton Tsintsadze, stands next to Nelson. Two Native American men stand on the other side of Burke. The man on the far right has a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. A white man wearing a suit, possibly Lew Parker, stage manager for the Wild West Shows, stands inside the log cabin and leans against a wood railing. An American and a British flag hang above the door to the cabin on either side of a picture of William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The cabin is probably set up at Earl's Court in England.Physical Description1 photoprint : black and white ; 7 x 9 cm (2 1/2 x 3 1/2 in.) on album sheet 18 x 23 cm (7 x 9 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectCossacksIndians of North AmericaWild west showsFlags--AmericanBuffalo Bill, 1846-1917Burke, John, d. 1917Nelson, John Young, 1826-1903Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowTsintsadze, Meliton.CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR700105397Type of MaterialPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, album 2 (A.R.
