A mythical figure in the conquest of the American West, Willam Cody received his nickname “Buffalo Bill” after killing large numbers of bison to supply meat to the workers of the Kansas Pacific Railway. Building on his reputation, he created a great popular show, the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, presented during American and European tours that attracted millions of spectators. On July 28, 1905, a gigantic convoy landed at the Saint-Gervais d'Auxerre station and the capitals were planted in record time for two performances on the same day. Moreau, amateur photographer, immortalized this event with photographs on glass plate today preserved in the Departmental Archives.
