Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World was the touring show William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody built in the 1880s and kept on the road for decades, mixing horsemanship, sharpshooting and dramatized scenes of frontier life into a traveling spectacle. The title names the show's most ambitious feature: its roster of riders drawn from many nations, which by the early 1890s gave audiences a sense of the American West as a stage for the wider world. Cody's company toured the United States and Europe, and its posters and public appearances did much to shape popular images of cowboys and Indians that still circulate today.
