Thanks Rick - I had a hunch you'd come up with some in-depth info.

Buffalo Bill's daughter was also "Irma". Hence the name of his hotel in Cody (The Irma Hotel)
PS - Try the buffalo stew in the bread bowl

Ate breakfast in that hotel last August. Good breakfast. Lots of history in that hotel. The bar came from either France or England and is flat out amazing. We didn't stay in the hotel but wished we had. If I recall correctly, the hotel was built and run by Irma and Buffalo Bill and his hunting parties camped in the mountains and would come back to the hotel for a day or two and then head out again to the mountains.

Is Buckingham's daughter still living I wonder? I've never met a soul who had ever met or talked to her.
