| Item Description: | "Featuring the western wilderness, towering mountain ranges and endless vistas; indigenous peoples of the plains and mountainmen living in natural balance with the animals and the land. The cowboy era, images from the second half of the century capturing the drama and pathos of the closing of the frontier; the robust spirit of individualism, heroism, and adventure. And the last of the great scouts, himself William F. Cody, Buffalo Bill, the American hero whose wild West exhibition brought the thrill and excitement of the frontier to millions around the world and whose life, legend, and legacy reflect the complex story of the great American West."
