FEBRUARY 12 @ Holiday Inn Cody
300 seats
5:30 – 7:30 pm
Steven Rinella and Randall Williams reveal the untold story of the hide hunters who slaughtered millions of buffalo in a single decade, transforming the American Great Plains into a vast boneyard. Through tales of survival, violence, grit, and industrial ambition, discover how displaced Civil War veterans, struggling farmers, and wanted outlaws fed America’s hunger for leather—and forever changed the Western landscape.
