2412 other country in the world. Her pioneers are fast passing away. A few years more and the great struggle for possession will be ended, and generations will settle down to enjoy the homes their fathers located and fenced in for them. Then will come the picture maker--he who, with pen, pencil and panel, can tell the story as he understands it. Then millions will read and look at what the pioneer did and what the historian related, wishing the while that they could have been there to have seen the original. These are of the thoughts to crowd in upon us as we view the great living picture that the HON. WM. F. CODY ("BUFFALO BILL") gives at the Wild West Exhibition, which every man, woman and child the world over should see and study as a realistic fact. We see audiences of thousands each night--statesmen, artists, military men, teachers, workers, musicians, business men, politicians, artisans, mechanics and others who desire to know as much as possible of the history of America. We see "BUFFALO BILL," the last of the six greatest scouts this country has ever known, viz., BOONE, CROCKETT, CARSON, BRIDGER, "WILD BILL," and "BUFFALO BILL,"--to our mind the greatest and most remarkable of all--a man whom this country will never duplicate. A nonesuch to the credit of Nature, the world and the mental and physical material of which he was formed, as one made to do a certain great work. A man in the prime of his life, who, from the age of ten years, has fought fate and all adverse circumstances, and never to a loss. A man who is a man; as a scout; as a pioneer; as a Government officer; as an Indian fighter; as a mighty hunter; as a man of honor, and of more than ordinary skill and courage commanding admiration--deserving of recognition as a great character in American history. A natural man of the highest order.--Editorial, New York Democrat, June 5, 1886. [Image] BUFFALO BILL AT HOME--HIS GREAT SUCCESS ABROAD. | 2412 other country in the world.
