Abstract:
William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody drives the Deadwood Stagecoach with a group of passengers sitting on it. John Burke, press agent for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, stands on the ground in front of the coach and rests his left arm on the door. Nate Salsbury, owner and manager of the Wild West Show, sits wearing a derby hat on the back of the coach. Sitting with Salsbury are Frank Hammett, Mrs. Louisa Cody, Irma Cody, Senator Beck, Miss Hole and Judge Stewell. The coach was built by the Abbot-Downing Co. in 1863 and shipped, on February 18, 1864, from Boston in the clipper ship G̀eneral Grant' to Louis McLane of San Francisco. Mr. McLane was president of the P̀ioneer Stage Co., ' of California. This was one of thirty-two similar coaches shipped to him r̀ound the horn' in 1863- 64.
