During World War II, Peg worked for the War Labor Board in San Francisco and helped to edit a newsletter for Cody servicemen who were stationed overseas. While there, she met and married a handsome Navy man, Henry H.R. Coe, in 1943. After he was mustered out of the service, Henry and Peg moved back to Cody where they owned and operated Pahaska Teepee, Buffalo Bill’s original hunting lodge just outside of Yellowstone’s east gate—which is still in the family today. It wasn’t long before Henry became a BBMA Trustee. When he died in 1966, Peg assumed his position on the Board, and in 1974, she became the Chairman—a post she held until 1997. And I won’t be the first to tell you that serving with Peg Coe was like being caught up in one of Cody’s famous “Shoshone Zephyrs!” There were always some “big doin’s” going on during her watch!

Historian Robert V. Hine, author of The American West, An Interpretive History, Second Edition, wrote in the book’s preface:

Once upon a time, there was an American West. It was part economic and social fact, part myth; while the facts changed, the myth survived. Its history, even up to the present, has always been revised by dream.

Needless to say, sorting out all that is the West—yesteryear and today, fact and myth—is certainly a tall order. But it’s something we here at the BBHC do quite well. WIDENING THE COLLECTIONS

By definition, a museum collects things; this is what separates us from other entities. Thanks to some generous donors, we added some terrific “finds” to our collection last year. For instance, we’ve been entrusted for a number of years with some marvelous firearms loaned to us by Bill Ruger, Sr. In 2006, his estate, through the efforts of his children, donated those weapons to us. Not only that, Bill Ruger, Jr., donated his own collection of a representative model of virtually every firearm that Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. ever made, each one marked with serial number eight, and never fired. Last spring, we were delighted to receive, on loan, the Paul Dyck Collection, recognized around the world as the most important privately held collection of Plains Indian artifacts, art work, and related materials in existence from the Buffalo Culture era, i.e. the late 1700s to pre-1890. To date, this collection has not been viewed by the general public. Our staff literally has months of work to do with inventories, conservation Pictured in the McCracken Research Library, Professor Marie Watkins of Furman University assessments, storage strategies, and research.

STUDYING THE SUBJECT

Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” Learning for all ages was definitely the “order of the day” in 2006. The CIWAS funded 11 resident fellows with $5,000 each, and they used the collections and resources of the BBHC for western studies research, concluding with a public presentation, preparation of a professional presentation or publication, and a brief summary. Once again, we are grateful to a generous donor who made the awards possible, BBHC Trustee and CIWAS advisory board member Barron Collier II. For some 30 years, the Larom Summer Institute and the Plains Indian Museum Seminar have been flagship opportunities for learning about all things “Western,” which they proved again in 2006. In addition, we sponsored two escorted trips into Yellowstone National Park, and noted western artist M.C. “Mike” Poulsen led an innovative painting workshop in the Park titled “Painting in the Footsteps of Moran and Bierstadt.” Throughout the year, the BBHC saw its galleries filled with an ever increasing number of students—learners of all ages. Our fantastic volunteer and docent corps led countless school and youth organization tours last year. At the same time, our workshops saw participants, young and old, tie flies, make paper, play games of the past, weave, create cinches, transform a Crow Indian story to theatre, make pottery, twirl a rope, and “cut a rug” (dance) western style. TELLING THE STORIES

One of the tasks you might say “comes with the territory” here at the BBHC—indeed, is part of our mission statement—is interpreting our collections. While there might be a certain joy in simply owning this painting or that rifle, their true value is never more enhanced than when their story is told. In 2006, we launched our “i-Scout” program, an interactive highlights tour of the CFM and the WGWA. With the handheld electronic i-Scout device, a visitor accesses additional information about an artifact and Jayce Old Coyote, Arapaho/Crow/Jemez Pueblo, Boys Traditional Dancer, 2006 Plains Indian learns more of its story.

The pageantry that is always the Plains Indian Museum Powwow was 10 70876_AnnualReport 4/9/07 9:14 AM Page 11

even more so last year as the Powwow celebrated its 25th anniversary. To commemorate the event, Lawrence Johnson Productions and the PIM produced a DVD of the powwow experience titled, Celebration! The Plains Indian Museum Powwow. Also during the year, PIM Curator Emma Hansen finalized her work on a book that tells the story of the PIM, in much the same way the museum is arranged. Those who’ve clamored for just such a book will be happy to know it will be available late this spring. We also continued our cooperative program with Xanterra Parks & Resorts in Yellowstone. Two nights a week last summer, BBHC curatorial staff presented “Programs in the Park,” informal talks for visitors about the history and culture of the Park. I DON’T KNOW HOW WE DO IT

With so much happening in a year’s time, it’s hard not to ask, “How do we do it?” Surprisingly, from my perspective, that’s easy to answer. We have an incredibly talented staff, a dedicated group of trustees and advisory board members, and some wonderfully generous members and donors. Last year, these individuals made this the second-best fundraising year on record with $13.7 million. In 2006, we reached both our It's skulls, hides, and footprints as MacNeil Lyons, Yellowstone Association Institute Resident Instructor, shares with area students in the annual Greater Yellowstone Museum Adventure. annual fund goal and our membership goal with some great new faces (including our new Congress of Rough Riders members) and exciting new activities.

But most of all, take note of the stories. Each name the part of our trustees. Charles Duncan issued an extraordinary challenge to mentioned, each item depicted, or each face presented had a part to play fellow trustees and friends at the beginning of 2006. He pledged a sum of in our success last year.

Sure American West. enough, a total of 19 donors stepped up to the plate and the fund to reinstall the Buffalo Bill Museum is $1.2 million richer. Finally, our Board of Trustees did what they used to do in the Old West: They formed a posse. Their mission in 2006 was to raise an amount equal to the operating funds that would be lost if we used endowment dollars to repay our bond debt. Nearly all our Trustees have participated—along with some other friends who joined in, too—with various levels of giving and repayment calendars to the tune of $4.7 million.

That’s when curators and administrators In 2006, the Paul Dyck Collection arrived at the BBHC’s Plains Indian apply their “digging in and negotiating skills” to acquire the perfect Museum (PIM). Recognized around the world as the most important addition to “renew” the holdings of the BBHC. privately held collection of Plains Indian artifacts, art work, and related materials in existence from the Buffalo Culture era, the collection is now on loan to the BBHC. The collection was started by Dyck’s father in 1886 and was, according to family sources, “systematically collected, rather than haphazardly acquired.” All the objects—including clothing, eagle feather bonnets, buffalo hide tipis, armbands, necklaces, cradles, peace medals, moccasins, and much more—date from the late 1700s to pre-1890. “Consisting primarily of many early to mid-nineteenth century Plains Indian cultural materials, the Paul Dyck Collection is recognized by scholars as one of the largest and most significant private collections of Native American art and artifacts,” said BBHC PIM Curator Emma Hansen. “Bringing the Paul Dyck Collection here will ensure that these exceptional objects will be preserved and the collection will remain intact for current and future generations of interested Native Americans and others with interest in Plains Indian arts and cultures.” The Paul Dyck Foundation for Education and Research entrusted the collection to the BBHC for inventory, care, study, and preservation. The BBHC collections and registration team traveled to Arizona to retrieve the collection. The hope is that its beauty and quality will add significantly to the PIM collection, which is already one of the finest in the U.S. The McCracken Research Library (MRL) jumped at widening its Conservator Beverly Perkins is often called on by the BBHC to inspect and work on fragile and collections when it was awarded a grant of $26,200 from the Wyoming very delicate objects such as this 1850s Hidatsa painted buffalo hide. 12 70876_AnnualReport 4/9/07 9:14 AM Page 13

Widening the collections took on a first-ever attribute in 2006 with a rare book auction coordinated by the MRL. The benefit auction was conducted by Dorothy Sloan Auctions and offered a wide array of rare books, maps, and other ephemera. Total sales were nearly $400,000, with the MRL’s portion $38,800, and the MRL Advisory Board contributed funding to purchase a book for the library. In 2006, the byword for the MRL could easily have been “Go digital.” But, the same could be said of the Draper Museum of Natural History’s (DMNH) widening the collections work. Video and audio recordings of the habitat and inhabitants of the Greater Yellowstone Area, along with personal interviews with local residents, landowners, and others regarding their experiences as they were or were not affected by environmental or cultural condi- tions around them, are invaluable for current and future study.

An exhibit must stop this person, hold him or her, and give improvement while giving pleasure. An exhibit that does not do this is not a successful one.” G. Ellis Burcaw, Introduction to Museum Work. Burcaw’s quotation is displayed prominently in one of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center’s (BBHC) classrooms. It serves as a reminder about the importance of making each exhibit and exhibition a powerful experience which the visitor will not soon forget. It adds another layer to the count- less tasks needed to create these types of displays, and if successful, the exhibition becomes a highlight on the visitor’s vacation. One of the more general and oft heard comments from visitors enjoying the collections of the BBHC is, “We had no idea!” This is good news for the staff of the BBHC since such comments suggest a very important point: The BBHC knows how to exhibit its treasures. As these individuals make their way through the galleries, gardens, and grounds of the BBHC, treas- ures take on a whole new meaning. In 2006, the BBHC hosted the first venue of Forging an American Identity: The Plains Indian Museum’s Seasons of Life, with this 1850s Nez Perce buffalo hide tipi The Art of William Ranney.

In addition, museums and art galleries around the world contact the BBHC regularly to borrow art and artifacts for special exhibitions they’re planning. For example, in 2006, loans were made to the R.W.

And the list goes on. Study is the name of the game at the BBHC’s Cody Institute for Western American Studies (CIWAS). Founded in 1999, CIWAS began as an idea to deliver research materials, especially by digital means, to the many individuals who do research on some aspect of the West. It is “designed to augment the knowledge and perspective of researchers, educators, and students.” Its Vision Statement reads, “[CIWAS] is the vehicle which will increase scholarly research that capitalizes on the extensive collections of the BBHC and disseminate new knowledge through a variety of media.” Since 2000, CIWAS has hosted four symposia. In 2006, it co-sponsored Indians, Labor, and Capitalist Culture in cooperation with the D’Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

Under their banner (BBHC) is all about telling stories. flew some amazing programming in 2006. Besides their interpretive work A typical painting or sculpture, for example, can literally conjure up with the Ranney exhibition, docents and volunteers led countless school dozens of stories. The first is an obvious one: what’s going on here? Next, and youth groups in activities and tours. Topics included: trappers, every character drawn, brushed, or molded (including animals) has its traders, and trailblazers; forest and fire ecology; bison in the West; own story to tell, together with a myriad of relationships, one to another. journey into art; and Plains Indian culture, yesterday and today. In Depending on the story represented, one might also want to know why the addition, area school children enjoyed the BBHC’s “museum adventures” crown of that cowboy’s hat is so tall or how in the world an Indian could programs.

Summer visitors were enlightened and values? Needless to say, with thousands of objects in its five museums, the entertained with bear safety programs (presented in cooperation with the BBHC has countless stories to tell—just like those it shared last summer with the exhibition Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney. Frankly, very few at the BBHC had ever heard of William Ranney. To be fair, though, this artist from New Jersey, a chron- icler of early America, was unknown to many more individuals than the staff at the BBHC alone—and for good reason. Dr. Sarah E. Boehme, the John S. Bugas Curator of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art (WGWA) put it this way, “Contemplating some of William Ranney’s powerful works, one might wonder why he is less well-known than some of his contemporaries or other western artists. One contributing factor is Ranney’s short lifespan (1813 – 1857) and, as a result, his comparatively smaller oeuvre, or body of work.” Some 60 works of art were gathered from public and private collections across the U.S. for the assemblage billed as “the first comprehensive exhibition of Ranney’s art in over 40 years.” As Ranney’s paintings imparted one story after another, families were encouraged to study the paintings together using their family guides (created by the education department), taking note of the dogs found in Ranney’s works or imagining what it would be like to head West in a prairie schooner. One of the exhibition’s most popular activities were the easels where visitors could try their hands at portrait painting—as Ranney had done over a hundred years ago. Native artist, historian, and Plains Indian Museum Advisory Board Member Arthur Amiotte shared his art, culture, and history with a host of visitors as an artist-in-residence in the summer of 2006. 18 70876_AnnualReport 4/9/07 9:14 AM Page 19
