My great-great grandfather, Peter Jacobsen, was a good friend of Buffalo Bill Cody. Cody spent his early childhood in a small town in northeast Iowa near where Peter and his family lived.
In later years when Cody would bring his Wild West Show to Davenport he would always visit Peter at his beer garden in "German Davenport." - Kathie Roskom
