Speaker Terry Lane will present the program “Meet Buffalo Bill” Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at Morton-James Public Library Kimmel Gallery, 923 1st Corso in Nebraska City, Nebraska.

Humanities Nebraska (HN) provides major funding for this program. HN receives support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nebraska State Legislature, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and private donations like the Morton-James Public Library’s Harry and Grace Moller Endowment.

In this program Lane reflects on William F. Cody’s life as express messenger, teamster, buffalo hunter, scout, actor, showman and builder of the West through a series of true-life adventures – from Bill’s perspective, of course. Length and content can be varied according to audience.
