BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST

History With Its Makers

There is no sham, no imitation, no make-believe, no deception, no exaggeration, no affectation, no misrepresentation, no staleness about this, the original and only genuine Wild West exhibition. It is history revived and perpetuated by the presence of the brave and hardy men who helped to make it, and in many instances sealed it with their blood in desperate battles and fierce personal encounters with the most formidable and resourceful of all savage foes. In this and n the addition to its living lessons of a "Congress of Rough Riders of The World", which is besides the rarest and most instructive Ethnological exhibit ever organized, it is as far apart from any and all other entertainments as the distance between the poles.

Cody and Sheridan

In his autobiography Gen. Phil. Sheridan acknowledges the highly-important service performed by "Buffalo Bill" in rendering his first winter campaign against the Indians successful. In the discharge of his duties as scout, Buffalo Bill, braving all dangers, defying all obstacles, and facing the howling blizzards and intense, deadly cold of an unusually severe winter for even the region in which the army was attempting to carry on aggressive movements, succeeded in finding the General's snow-bound and severely-suffering command, and volunteered to carry dispatches to two other widely-separated detachments, and to return with reports from them. It seemed a superhuman feat to accomplish under such

conditions and in a country swarming with hostiles, but he did it, and re-established communications, which enabled Sheridan to move his forces in concerted action. In the accomplishment of this terrible task Sheridan reported that Buffalo Bill "rode three hundred and ffity miles in less than sixty hours"-an unprecedented and almost incredible achievement for which the General made him "Chief of Scouts," which position he also filled with honor and complete success under General Nelson A. Miles until the close of the campaign of 1890.

Plain kindness long outwears the painted kind.
