He also wears thigh boots, and his belt has a large, square buckle. He is mounted on a dark horse. The horse's bridle is decorated with shells. Lew Parker, a minstrel show manager and stage manager for the Wild West Show, is walking toward Cody from the left background, where several tents are set up.
