The Parisians received the show with as much favor as had the Londoners.
Everything American became the fad during our stay.

Fashionable young men bought American and Mexican saddles for their rides in the Bois.
Cowboy hats appeared everywhere on the street.

There was a great cry for stories of the Plains and all the books that could be found that dealt with the West were translated into the French language.

Relics from the Plains and mountains, bows, moccasins, and Indian baskets, sold like hot cakes in the souvenir stores.
While in the city I accepted an invitation from Rosa Bonheur to visit her at her superb chateau.

In return I extended her the freedom of the show, and she made many studies from life of the fine animals I had brought over with me.
