ALWAYS ON STAGE

William F. Cody, after he became Buffalo Bill thanks to dime novels of the time, was "on stage" much of the rest of his life. He became the character portrayed in those dime novels.

His first public appearances as the character Buffalo Bill came during live theatrical performances, as illustrated by the poster at left.
