About this audio guide
This guide to the Buffalo Bill statue in Dennistoun, Glasgow, starts at a hotel lunch table in December 1891, where William Cody rose to answer a toast from his Glasgow hosts. It follows his Wild West show through a winter in the East End, with Annie Oakley, the cowboys, and the Lakota performers who walked these streets. Stand by the bronze rider in the courtyard to listen.
