Buffalo Bill – The Scout, Bronze sculpture at Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, United States.
The equestrian statue depicts Buffalo Bill Cody mounted on a horse, created with detailed bronze craftsmanship measuring several meters in height at Sheridan Avenue.
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney completed this memorial sculpture in 1924 after transporting a horse named Smokey from Cody's TE Ranch to New York for reference modeling.
The statue embodies the heritage of American Western expansion through its representation of Buffalo Bill Cody, who influenced frontier development and entertainment.
Visitors can observe the National Register of Historic Places monument from multiple angles by following the circular path around the Buffalo Bill Historical Center grounds.
The sculptor incorporated authentic Western elements by studying a local horse and cowboy, responding to initial concerns about Eastern artistic interpretation.
