Very Rare William "Buffalo Bill" Cody Signed Box. The Box measure 4.25 x 10.25 inches and is labeled on one side "BUFFALO BILL WILD WEST SHOW". At one-time the best-paid performer in the land, Cody died penniless in 1917. During his lifetime and in the years since, he has had his share of debunkers and supporters. Cody's real achievements and his glorious lies or embellishments have become as entangled as a semi-wild Longhorn in a barbed-wire fence. William Cody will remain standing on the hilltop waving a Medal of Honor in one hand and a Wild West poster in the other. "For generations of Americans and Europeans," writes Louis S. Warren in his 652-page biography of a man who was part hero, part charlatan and as entertaining as all get-out, "Buffalo Bill defined the meaning of American history and American identity. From California to Maine, and from Wales to Ukraine, crowds who came to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West show spoke so widely and fervently about it for years afterward that it became a defining cultural memory, or dream, of America."
