Biography
In 1883, GORDON W. LILLIE (1860-1942) joined the newly formed Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as an interpreter and performer. In 1888, Lillie, who was known as Pawnee Bill, formed his own Wild West Show. In 1908, he merged his Wild West Show with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The combined show, which became known as The Two Bills' Show, was billed as the entertainment triumph of the ages. It traveled all over the world, entertaining audiences with both realistic and fantasy views of the Old West. The show closed in Denver, Colorado in 1913 after touring for five seasons as Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Great Far East Show.
