| Summary: | "White Beaver." "Fancy Frank." "Medicine Chief of the Winnebago." These are just a few of the nicknames generated by the contradictory persona of David Franklin Powell (1857-1906). Born in Kentucky, Powell's restless spirit led him to Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. He was the close friend and business partner of William "Buffalo Bill" Cody and, along with him, was a dime-novel hero and author. Both men enjoyed near-mythical status during their lifetimes. |
