Before there were silver-screen heroes, the traveling wild west shows brought a live experience of the western frontier to world-wide audiences and none were more famous than Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
In 1912, William F. Cody and Gordon "Pawnee" Bill Lillie established a movie picture company and filmed "The Life of Buffalo Bill." Mounted atop his great white stallion Isham, the aging plainsman is shown revisiting the places he made famous as a youth in legend and lore.
