About Me

Scout, Showman, Pioneer of the West - one of her favorite and favored sons. Did you know that I took my Wild West exhibition all the way to Paris France?! I am happy to say that we toured the fine city on our first visit in the summer to the fall of 1889. And what a city she was! We loved her so much that I just had to bring my exhibition tour back in the spring to the summer of 1905. What a grand few months those were! Check out www.buffalobill.org to learn more.
