Overview

Powell was the close friend and business partner of William Buffalo Bill Cody and, along with him, was a dime-novel hero and author. As a doctor he risked charges of quackery, drawing on his Indian background and lifelong knowledge of herbal remedies. Powell became the mayor of La Crosse, Wisconsin and later pursued prospects of copper mining. Blending ambition and benevolence, he caused others both to revere and despise him. As Buffalo Bill put it, If 'White Beaver' is a devil, then Heaven is Full of them.
