Issued in 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial (1776-1976) series, this stamp commemorates two legendary figures associated with the exploration and settlement of the American frontier: Daniel Boone, the pioneer and explorer who helped open the Kentucky frontier, and William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, the scout, buffalo hunter, and showman whose life became closely linked with the mythology of the American West. The design also includes frontier scenes, a covered wagon, and a map illustrating westward expansion across North America.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Federal and Islamic Republic of the Comoros joined the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of American independence. The issue highlighted the historical significance of frontier exploration and settlement in the development of the United States, while recognizing the enduring place of Boone and Buffalo Bill in American cultural and historical traditions.
