After many delays and some hurried final preparations, Nebraska was officially represented at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, marking the 100th birthday of the United States.

Despite its small population, the youngest state (except for Colorado) made a creditable showing among the other states and territories, as well as foreign countries, that exhibited.

This episode is from the article Nebraska in the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, 1876 by Anne P. Diffendal and was published in the Spring 1976 issue of Nebraska History Magazine.

Buffalo Bill Cody and Doc Carver were partners during the 1883 season of Cody and Carver’s Wild West, a touring outdoor western show.

Their partnership dissolved after one year, and their bitter legal dispute over control of the name “Wild West” made them adversaries for the rest of their lives.

In this episode, Chris Goforth brings you the article "Buffalo Bill Cody v. Doc Carver: The Battle over the Wild West," by Sandra K. Sagala, printed in the Spring 2004 issue of Nebraska History Magazine
