Buffalo Bill, (1846-1917) one of the few legends of the wild west to have a lot of photos taken of him.
Among other incredible life achievements, he was a Pony Express rider, recieved the Congreessional Medal Of Honor while in the Army as a scout, and got the nickname Buffalo for killing more than his competition when the govt wanted buffalo meet to feed the Army and the Kansas Pacific Railroad

The man behind him is my Great-Great Grandfather, Ben Cirkle. He was one of Buffalo Bill's advance men / publicists and arranged for Buffalo Bill to drive the white steamer.
