Monument on Shoshone canyon plinth to honor Buffalo Bill
A vast granite plinth rising 15 feet with a 15 foot statue will form a 30 foot high base on three natural terraces near Shoshone canyon. Construction uses seven ton stones, drag lines, cranes and concrete walls with granite from Shoshone canyon and bronze shipped from Long Island City. The scene includes a canal bringing water around the base to symbolize irrigation by Buffalo Bill Cody. The unveiling is planned for July 4 with architect Mr. Ross who regards the project as his most fascinating effort.
