Title	Group in Deadwood Stage
Summary	John Y. Nelson lies on the top of the Deadwood Stagecoach while on tour with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Ambrose Park in Brooklyn, New York. John Higby (possibly spelled Highby) drives the coach with Judge William T. Beck of the Colorado Supreme Court seated next to him. Ella Hoyle Beck sits inside the coach with two other women and a man. The Becks helped raise Nate Salsbury, owner and manager of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, in Denver after he was orphaned at age 8. Teams of mules pull the coach, used in the show during an act in which William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody rescues the coach from an attack.
