201 Buffalo Bill Cody(2)

The Buffalo Bill Room

Room 201

William “Buffalo Bill” Cody was born in 1846 in LeClaire, Iowa and left his home at the tender age of eleven. He tried his hand at many trades through the west, such as herding cattle, driving a wagon train, fur trapping, gold mining, scouting for the Army, and even a Pony Express Rider. His exploits prepared him well for his career in show business.

Buffalo Bill CodyHe began to show the world a slice of the Wild West in 1872 with his acting debut in “The Scouts of the Prairie.” He continued in various renditions of shows depicting the life of the frontier, until he conceived the “Wild West” show that made him famous. This show was designed on a grand scale to entertain and educate with hundreds of actors and live animals. At one point, the show cost $4000 a day to produce. The “Wild West” show included many skills that would later become standard competitions at rodeos, a representation of Native Americans and their culture, and an equal opportunity for women to shine.

Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show are credited with improving relations between America and the many countries of Europe, where his show toured. Buffalo Bill was consulted on matters of the west by every president from Grant to Wilson. At one point during his illustrious career, he helped to develop the Sheridan Inn and staged auditions for his show from the porch. In 1917, Buffalo Bill died while visiting his sister in Denver, Colorado. One of the most famous Americans in the world was laid to rest on Lookout Mountain in Colorado. As Annie Oakley stated, “He was the simplest of men, as comfortable with cowboys as with kings.”

    Sheridan Inn Hotel Reviews

    • 5 star review  I can't begin to say enough about the staff at the hotel. They went way above and beyond for me during my stay. They even came in an hour early every morning to prepare breakfast for just me and a colleague during our stay because we had to be at work by 6 am. And the rooms are exquisitely renovated. It has an old time charm that you just have to experience. Can't wait to come back. Just wish the bar was operational.
