When he joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West show he was allowed (actually he negotiated for the right) to keep all income from selling his autograph.

But he kept little of the money. He could not understand why there were beggars in the white man's rich world and he gave most of his money to them.

- Just thought that was amazing ...

2. I have one of his

autographs. He is my favorite 101 performer. He truly saw the most shit and adapted to every adversity which was thrown at him...an amazing human being.
