-

LOUGHBOROU­GH Library is launching a new exhibition depicting the lifetime of America scout and hunter ‘Buffalo Bill’.

Opening on Friday, October 6, at Loughborou­gh Library, Granby Street, the exhibition produced by Tony Jarram together with Loughborou­gh Library Local Studies volunteers, will depict William Frederick Cody’s (Bill Cody or Buffalo Bill) lifetime as a Pony Express rider, buffalo hunter and scout, and will tell of the Wild West shows that he produced and directed.

Bill Cody’s life gives an insight into the American west during the era of cowboys and indians.

In later life Buffalo Bill exhibited his experience­s in the ‘Wild West’ shows that toured America and Europe from the 1880s to the 1900s, visiting Loughborou­gh in 1903.

The exhibition is free to visit during library opening hours.
