Silhouette of "Buffalo Bill -- the Scout," a bronze sculpture of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody as a western scout at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.

The statue was created in 1924 to commemorate the town's most famous resident and de facto founder, Buffalo Bill Cody. The project was initiated by Cody's niece, Mary Jester Allen, who had established the basis of what would become the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, which in turn was the locus of the five museums. A New Yorker, Ms. Allen persuaded heiress and artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney to sculpt the piece. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.
