On September 13, 1913, Prince Albert 1 of Monaco passed through Chicago on his way to Cody, Wyoming to meet Colonel William F. Cody ".... to start on a two-month hunt in the Rockies." according to the NYT of September 14, 1913: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9402E... F. J. Hiscock was a prominent photographer of Cody, Wyoming: forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=164820.0

Info from "Cody Pictures" website: www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/cody5.html----------- "Joseph Jesse Faver "Fay Jay" Hiscock (F. J. Hiscock) (1874-1951), was originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan. He remained active in photography in Cody from his arrival in 1904 until the early 1940's, and sold packages of photographs to tourists. The packages were primarily of the Cody Road. In his advertising he referred to himself as 'The Picture Man.'"

Thank you BobMeade and Wystan for your addition information about Prince Albert's visit with Bill Cody. We will add some of it to the description.

In September, 2007, Prince Albert II of Monaco dedicated the new Monaco ambassador's residence on Wyoming Avenue in Washington, D. C., in a colorful ceremony attended by an actor costumed as the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody, recalling the 1913 American visit of the prince's great-grandfather (and namesake), who was hosted by Buffalo Bill on a hunting expedition near Cody, Wyoming, that lasted for several weeks. Among other fauna, the first Prince Albert (then Monaco's reigning monarch) killed a black bear and an elk. He also expressed a wish that he could serve as Mayor of Cody, Wyoming -- had he not already been burdened with other duties back in Monte Carlo. During an 80th anniversary visit in 1993, Albert II (whose mother was the American actress Grace Kelly) toured the site in Wyoming, which is near the east entrance of Yellowstone Park. Although crumbling, Buffalo Bill's old log hunting lodge still stands, and is now a tourist attraction; a dinner for Albert II was held inside.

Legend !

I remember sometime about 1960 while out wandering around the prairie with some friends we found W.F. Cody carved in sandstone beside a Kansas creek in Ellsworth County. If I remember right there was a date carved there also. Assume it was late 1800's. About 20 years later when I was in the area I wondered if could find it again. But with so many vast acres of grass and creek beds nothing looked familiar at all.
