Performers included Annie Oakley and George C Crager, a Lakota Sioux interpreter, who donated or sold several objects to the Kelvingrove Museum.

The statue was provided in 2006 by developers of the adjacent flats in Whitehill Street, and officially unveiled by MSP Paul Martin. Statue to Wild West showman Cody. BBC NEWS (17 November 2006).
