Abstract

Gordon Lillie — a gunfighter, rancher, buffalo hunter, and Indian agent better known as Pawnee Bill— was inspired to go West as a teenager in 1874 after reading the adventures of Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill Hickok in lurid weeklies and dime novels. Lillie soon started a touring Wild West Show of his own, demonstrating that the myth of the Old West is nearly as old as the Old West itself. All this makes it appropriate that the Hopalong Cassidy Museum, scheduled to open in early August 2003 will be located in the Prairie Rose Chuckwagon Supper, a "western complex" in Wichita, Kansas, where tourists can eat barbecue served by cowboys. After being hidden away for two years, the Constitution is about to resume its traditional position of importance — the four-page paper Constitution of 1788, that is, which has been in storage since 2001 while the National Archives and Records Administration renovated its exhibition space.
