CODY, WILLIAM F. "BUFFALO BILL." 1846-1917. Document Signed ("W.F. Cody"), being an admission ticket to Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World, 1 p, 56 x 92 mm, n.p., n.d. [but c.1899], engraved lettering with half-tone image of Cody in upper left corner, numbered "567" in red ink, and inscribed with the word "Seat" in Cody's hand above the signature. "Buffalo Bill" Cody grew up on the frontier in Kansas where his family's poor fortunes compelled him to work as a riding messenger, a Pony Express rider, and a U.S. Army scout during the Indian Wars. He created the extravagant show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West" in 1883, renaming it "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World" ten years later. The show toured throughout North America and Europe, with a final European tour in 1906.
