True West|February 2017

​​​​Collectors bid high to land one of the earliest known images of the frontier scout.

On the Hunt for Buffalo Bill

The flowing locks and broad brimmed hat as William F. Cody cantered up on his horse made him “[look] like a picture of a cavalier of olden times” when the 4th Earl of Dunraven first met the scout.

A picture of that picturesque character earned the top bid at Cowan’s Auctions on November 18, 2016. By the time he struck this eye-catching pose, Cody was already known by his moniker, “Buffalo Bill,” for his success in hunting buffalo to feed Kansas Pacific Railway workers.
