DID YOU KNOW?

William F. Cody, otherwise known as Buffalo Bill, was given a snow-white horse called Isham by the painter Rosa Bonheur, who also painted their picture together. Isham was reputed to be one of Buffalo Bill’s favorite horses, and repeatedly performed in their traveling “Wild West Show.” When, due to bankruptcy, the show closed, a friend bought Isham at auction, and gave him back to Buffalo Bill.
