OCLC shows no holdings. This is the first copy of this elaborate promotional that I have ever seen. "Lillie made his way into Indian Territory while working as a trapper …. He served as a teacher at the Pawnee agency …. During this time he became known as "Pawnee Bill." In 1883 he was recruited to help coordinate the efforts of the Pawnee troupe in the first-ever Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show. … In 1888 he began touring the country with "Pawnee Bill's Wild West." … which traveled the United States and Europe, starring May Lillie as the Champion Horseback Shot of the West. In 1908 he joined forces with Buffalo Bill Cody, forming 'Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Great Far East,' a Wild West show that had no equal at that time." – Oklahoma Historical Society. This item pre-dates the combined show with Buffalo Bill.
