Yep, I can see it now...
Dateline, Council Bluffs, Iowa: Pawnee Bill headlines the annual NCOWS Convention this February with his Seminar on 'Scout Garb in the Old West.' The West Coast reenactor will wow the audience with anecdotes and visual treats detailing the workmanship and creativity put into the clothing worn by the Scouts of the Old West while on the trail of neer-do-wells and other calamitous individuals. Forging through heat, sleet, snow, deluges and drought, the clothing worn by the Scouts was fit for the trail and made for the purpose intended. No doubt the Convention attendees and guests will be impressed by his entertaining palaver, for his namesake was once one of the best Showman on the national Stage & Show Circuit, not the least of which was his best friend Buffalo Bill, ah, but thats another story...
Well, P.B., your pics and research are very interesting and I think that you would make a great presenter for the next Convention, might you be interested? If so, let the kind folks at NCOWS HQ know.
Best regards and good storytelling!
