The Buffalo Bill Statue by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was erected in Cody, Wyoming in 1924.
The 14 foot bronze equestrian statue depicts William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody during his days as an Indian Wars army scout. He is seen bending down in his saddle while holding up his right arm with a rifle in it. Standing on a base that is 20 feet high and 270 feet in circumference, it was designed to be a miniature replica of nearby Cedar Mountain.
The photos and description of the Buffalo Bill Statue in Cody, WY are part of materials from its registration form for the National Register of Historic Places.
