American Historical Ephemera and Photography Featuring the Civil War and American Militaria Collection of Bruce B. Hermann

12 x 19 in. lithograph (loss to lower right corner, minor soil). 

Buffalo Bill is depicted wearing skins and holding a large knife and grasping a rifle. Found together with the companion Texas Jack poster listed as Lot 285. The friendship between the two men began when Cody helped Jack get hired as a "trail agent and scout" with the 5th US Cavalry at Fort McPherson. They had several engagements together as scouts and hunting guides, and in late 1872, the frontiersmen performed in the stage show, "Scouts of the Prairie." They continued to perform together throughout the 1870s.
