Additional Details

Buffalo Bill Cody had toured France in 1889, and then had been summoned to meet with Sitting Bull on the eve of the Wounded Knee massacre. Though Cody was on a diplomatic mission, he is here depicted in full color with guns a-blazing. A small article on the final page provides more context.
