Description
William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, American showman. He set up an exhibition near the Chicago World's Fair, this contributed to his popularity and vexed the promoters of the fair. As noted in The Devil in the White City he had been rebuffed in his request to be part of the fair so he set up shop just to the west of the fairgrounds drawing many of their patrons away. Since his show was not part of the fair he was not obligated to pay the promoters royalties. Image from original 4 x 5 inch glass negative.
