Call NumberNS-714Datecirca 1901SummaryWilliam Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody stops on his horse in the left foreground in a dirt arena during a rehearsal of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Cody is wearing a dark hat and a dark, striped suit. He talks to Sioux Chief Iron Tail, who stands in the center midground in front of a large group of Native Americans. Iron Tail holds a blanket around his waist and wears his hair in braids that are pinned up to form long loops. Several of the Native American men behind him wear feathers on their heads and also hold blankets around their shoulders. A few of them wear breastplates, possibly made from bone. Several Native American women seated in the right midground wear long necklaces, possibly made from dentalium sheels. The rooftops of several buildings are in the background above the tent.Physical Description1 photoprint : black and white ; 12 x 23 cm (4 1/2 x 9 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectIndians of North AmericaWild west showsRehearsalsBuffalo Bill, 1846-1917Iron TailBuffalo Bill's Wild West ShowCollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR700105714Type of MaterialPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, album 6Original Material Found in CollectionSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowNotesSalsbury Collection Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Rehearsal Pictures 1901 typed on first page of album; on final page of album "Cubans actual war veterans of Spanish-American War Color Guard under Gen.
