Summary |
John Y. Nelson, a member of the cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, poses on horseback with the body of a deer across his lap. He holds a rifle up with his right hand. Numerous rocks and trees are in the right and left foreground. Nelson guided Brigham Young to Utah in 1847 and was a scout with William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody at Fort McPherson in 1869. He acted as interpreter in some of the wild west shows and also served as a stagecoach driver and cowboy in some of the acts. Nelson also played the settler in the "Attack on a Settler's Cabin" act in the wild west show. The settlers are saved by Cody. Nelson and his Sioux family were presented to Queen Victoria while the show toured in England in 1887. |
