The Cholera Had Broken Out

My Brother Was A Great Favorite With Everybody, And His Death Cast A Gloom Upon The Whole Neighborhood.

It Was Because Of My Great Interest In The West, And My Belief That Its Development Would Be Assisted By The Interest I Could Awaken In Others, That I Decided To Bring The West To The East Through The Medium Of The Wild West Show.

The First Presentation Of My Show Was Given In May, 1883, At Omaha, Which I Had Then Chosen As My Home. From There We Made Our First Summer Tour, Visiting Practically Every Important City In The Country.

My Wife Was Delighted With The Home I Had Given Her Amid The Prairies Of The Far West.

General Custer Was A Close Observer And Student Of Personal Character.
