[President Wilford Woodruff Journal] 7 We went to an Oyster House for Breakfast. We visited Mr Pulman who gave us the use of the Pulman Car. Mr Pulman informed us that his Grand Mother was a Mormon. It is reported that Mr Pulman had made $55,00,000 Dollars out of the Pulman Car. He treated us vary kindly.
At 3 oclock PM we visited Buffalo Bills wild west Show and Enjoyed it vary much. Mr Alexander Majors was Here & at the Close of the show He took us to Mr Codys tent, who had a plesant interview with us and our Company was introduced to him. He admitted our party free. There was the finest shooting by Cody & a woman I Ever Saw. He had a whole [herd] of Buffalo on the ground to shoot at.
