Description
The Scout Buffalo Bill Cody by Rosa Bonheur
This is actually a magazine cover that was used on one the dozens of dime novels about Col. William F. Cody, also known as Buffalo Bill. As was the case, the piece also carries the name of the artist that designed the cover and omitted the name of the original artist I felt it more appropriate to credit the original artist of the original painting.
Buffalo Bill started working at the age of eleven, after his father's death, and became a rider for the Pony Express at age 14. During the American Civil War, he served the Union from 1863 to the end of the war in 1865. Later he served as a civilian scout for the US Army during the Indian Wars, receiving the Medal of Honor in 1872.
One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill's legend began to spread when he was only twenty-three. Shortly thereafter he started performing in shows that displayed cowboy themes and episodes from the frontier and Indian Wars. He founded Buffalo Bill's Wild West in 1883, taking his large company on tours in the United States and, beginning in 1887, in Great Britain and continental Europe.
