NEW YORK — Leaving his home in Sweden at 15, Edward H. Bohlin (1895-1980) arrived in New York City in 1910 but soon developed a passion for the Wild West. Within two years, he was participating in cattle drives in Montana and worked on Buffalo Bill’s ranch for some time. He opened a leather shop in Cody, Wyo., in 1920, but because he had an overactive temper, he was repeatedly in trouble with local law enforcement. He ultimately decided to get out of Dodge by joining a Wild West show headed to California.
