Cropped stereograph showing portrait of Buffalo Bill, holding rifle, photographed by Edric L. Eaton, circa 1870s. William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Europe as well as the United States. During a time when the Bureau of Indian Affairs was intent on promoting Native assimilation, he used his influence with US government officials to secure Native American performers for his Wild West. He treated Native American employees as equals with white cowboys. They received good wages, transportation, housing, abundant food and gifts of clothing and cash from Buffalo Bill at the end of each season. As a frontier scout, Cody respected Native Americans and supported their rights. He called them "the former foe, present friend, the American", and once said, "Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government." He died of kidney failure in 1917, at the age of 70, surrounded by family and friends.
