Description: One of the most brightly colorful sets of postal cards ever issued by the USPS is the set of 20 19-cent cards titled "Legends of the West," released on October 19, 1994. This set honors legendary figures of Western myth, both natives and settlers, whose lives and actions have been depicted in numerous histories, books, movies, and television shows for more than a century. The West is an important part of American mythology, and these cards celebrate it. The same 20 portraits were issued on a sheet of stamps the same day, but these postcards take those same pictures and expand them to 3.5 inch by 5.5 inch size. The 20 postal card subjects are:Home on the Range Buffalo Bill Cody Jim Bridger Annie Oakley Native American Culture Chief Joseph Bill Picket Bat Masterson John C. Fremont Wyatt Earp Nellie Cashman Charles Goodnight Geronimo Kit Carson Wild Bill Hickok Western Wildlife Jim Beckwourth Bill Tilghman Sacagawea Overland Mail These 20 cards are all canceled with the First Day of Issue cancel from Laramie, WY on October 18, 1994. All have individualized descriptive text on the back of each card too. This package has never been opened and is in its original sealed packaging from the USPS. The third scan is from another set; we just wanted to show what they all look like. Check the scans for details.
