It is especially instructive to the untravelled and to the rising generation to see authenticated, genuine people of different nations and races in their characteristic costumes before they have passed away and are left as legacies to the future only through art and history. The principal incidents and episodes have additional interest from having been identified in the life of Col. W. F. Cody.
