Wild West auction features Butch Cassidy mugshot
A Wild West auction features rare items linked to Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill Cody, Butch Cassidy, and George A. Custer.
Highlights include an 1885 contract signed by Sitting Bull for Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and Butch Cassidy's 1894 mugshot negative, his only arrest.
Garments worn by George A. Custer, including a navy blue wool shirt from the 1873 Yellowstone Expedition, are part of the auction.
Proceeds from the auction will support conservation projects through the ZEITZ Foundation in Kenya, and the sale closes on May 21.
