William F. Cody is my Great, Great Uncle on my father's side of the family. My father used to tell me that his grandmother was a "Cody". My older sisters recall that in their childhood (before I was born) Mr. Cody's sister, Molly, frequently visited my family in the summertime. I am nearing age 75 and am only now getting in touch with this aspect of my family history-What a thrill it is.
Cool. My G Grandfather was a sharpshooter in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. We have photos of him in his western wear with rifle, but none of him with the Wild West Show itself.
I met a man online from the U.K. who told me that his great-grandfather was from the Blackfoot tribe and was in the traveling show. He went to England with Buffalo Bill and married his great grandmother and stayed there.
My grandmother used to tell me all about Buffalo Bill's Show. Her father took her to the show in Providence, RI in 1906 or 1907, and that was a very big deal. At the time, money was scarce as most folks were mill hands at low wages, so she was very impressed.
My great grandparents traveled to South Dakota and saw Sitting Bull in the Wild West Show. Looks like that was in 1885. Shame that Sitting Bull was murdered by tribal police before Buffalo Bill could come get him.
My Grandfather worked with horses for Buffalo Bill - He later worked with horses in WW 1 - Then WPA projects around the country - And even the U. S. Post Office - He never talked about WW 1
Wonderful Movie Footage….when watching the cast you are seeing the full reality of the skills of men and women who lived in the early Wild West. What a Privilege it is to be able to step back in history and watch them demonstrate their abilities and have fun doing it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fascinating to view this early 20th century film from the 2018 perspective. When a wild horse don’t wanna be ridden, it takes a tough hombre to change his mind. Taming the horse helped mankind advance immensely; what majestic animals!
And you can clearly see from this footage that the so-called "wild" horses in the stupid rodeo shows of today are fake. These wild horses are really wild. And they don't require a strap around their genitals to make them buck...
Looks like the men in the crowds with brim hats liked to wear them tilted forward at a "rakish angle". Great footage. How we ever got here from there is worth a bit of speculation.
Do you notice the difference between the horse and rider then, compared to now? ( at least in western movies) They knew how to ride, you do not see their horses jerking their head all over the place. They’re all smooth. My dad trained horses, he hated the Snaffle bit, and he hated one arm riders. Of course you have to when you have something in your other arm, that’s not what I’m talking about. The horse only needs a soft nudge, unless it’s a race horse of course lol
Marketing genius in action right there! Arrival into town, all dressed in the costumes for the show...a few fliers posted strategically around town a few days or so beforehand...Viola! Ahhh, the simplicity of the time... How did we manage before the digital age?😂 Thank you for this posting, too! (I have a child named Cody, and it well applies 🤣.. drama and showmanship 🤣)
My first cousin twice removed, Alzeda McFadden, was the wife of Buffalo Bill’s business manager, William O. Snyder. Mr. Snyder died some time after being hit by a car in Peoria, Ill. Alzeda died many years later in California and appears in the census as a rancher.
I'm currently reading 'Buffalo Bill's America' by Louis S. Warren, it's a great book. He talks about how Edison filmed some of his shows so I immediately came to see them on youtube. It's really cool to see a piece of history.
It was so amazing to think that Buffalo Bill (1846 to 1917) was alive during some of Helen Keller's lifetime. (1880 to 1968). Helen was friends with Alexander Grahame Bell (1847 to 1922) who invented the telephone. He wanted the telephone to be an aid for helping the deaf because his beloved wife was deaf. The Progressive Era went from the 1890s to the 1920s and included President Theodore Roosevelt and his amazing wife, Eleanor, who was friends with Helen Keller, the famous blind/deaf woman who was really the first "star" in America, in that she became internationally famous and beloved by many people. So, while Buffalo Bill was doing his wild west shows, these other people were achieving many amazing things, too.
@@stevenbrown5210 Hi Steven, great question!!! Bell had a deaf wife. Perhaps he pictured that she would be downstairs and when she picked it up, she could hear well enough to hear him say whatever he had to say. I'm not sure really and when I looked on various websites, it was still unclear.
Zu erst einmal vielen Recht herzlichen Dank für das Hochladen ist ein sehr guter und sehr schöner Film 📽 über die Wildwestshow von Buffalo Bill. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We call my uncle "Buffalo Bill" because he's gone to Rendezvous for his whole adult life. Love to see the legacy he's nicknamed after. They actually look rather similar too! Lol
We all know Buffalo Bill so well and through so many legends, it feels as if he was not even real, a mere myth. Seeing these videos are so fascinating how they break that myth.
hello , my great grandfather (oglala) was one of the american natives of the show, he arrived in France at the beginning of the last century, and, met my great grandmother.... he colonized Europe this way, just return of things.... he did not yet have American nationality, this one was granted to them in 1924 seems to me ...
Incredible cultural historic footage. The 'bucking' horses. Are the horses trained to do this? It looks painful. Were audiences thrilled or something else?
Those people look just like us today , but with different fashions . Amazing! Back then I see a lot of people are wearing Fascinators, just like the Royals!
Walt Disney needs to bring back Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, with all the new technology, like 3-D moving holograms, lasers and pyrotechnics. There are some great Native rodeo riders who need a venue to show their skills and tell their story. I live near a little town on the Navajo Res., between Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. Every year millions of tourists, many from Europe and Asia, come through looking for the American West while being bused from park to park. They leave unsure of what they've found. Buffalo Bill could fix that. It would rule on the state fair circuit and in Orlando for the winter. They could bring back the Lone Ranger, Davey Crockett and Zorro. Guy Williams did great sword fights in the 50s on the Disneyland rooftops.
Lulu Bell Parr is most likely the "lady buckaroo". There were MANY women who rode broncs at the turn of the century, and were as tough and capable as any cowboy.
Interesting how all the bucking horses would go cinchy and fall down. The cowboy would have to dismount and get ready to remount when the horse got up to buck. Try that sometime. Those were real cowboys. Trouble was some of them would fall over backwards-dangerous indeed. Hence the gradual introduction of bucking chutes and flank straps etc.
at the end of this show I'm not sad at all it has the gretest moment, then other show emerged taking the place it is just a constant change of life, not sad at all.
"Many things contributed to the buffalo’s demise. One factor was that for a long time, the country’s highest generals, politicians, and even then President Ulysses S. Grant saw the destruction of buffalo as solution to the country’s “Indian Problem.” Before Sheridan joined Cody and the New Yorkers on the hunt, and before he oversaw the relocation of Native Americans on the plains, he was a major general for the Union during the Civil War. It was there he learned the power of destroying enemy resources. He’d used the same scorched-earth strategy that William Tecumseh Sherman, then a major general, used in his March to the Sea, tearing up railroad ties, toppling telegraph poles, and lighting nearly all of Atlanta and anything an infantryman could digest ablaze. After the war, President Grant asked Sherman and Sheridan to command armies in the Great Plains." Dirtbags.
My friends mum and her sister were the Grandchildren of a La,ota Cheif called Charging Thunder who was in Wild Bill Hickocks Wild West show. Charging Thunder ,his wife Josephine and there daughter Bessie ended up staying in England and ended up living in Gorton a suburb of Manchester. Charging Thunder changed his name to George Williams . He worked at Bellevue at the zoo and died when he was 56yrs old, he is buried in Gorton Cemetery under the name George Williams. I knew his daughter Bessie she was an old lady when i knew her. She was a lively gentle soul.
My Great Uncle James McAllister was a member of the show, but he was fired for being drunk and disorderly. Funny his wife my Great Aunt Emma's maiden name was Booze.
Looking at the quality of the filming way back when, I'd say the technology of today has really improved -- until I see photos and videos of todays Bigfoot and Dogmen.
When the army built the railroad the workers had to eat and the thing they liked the very best was fresh killed buffalo meat. So he took his Springfield rifle and shot his way to fame, killing 5000 buffalo in 18 months, that's how he got his name. By 1883 that name had reached so many ears that he organized a wild west show and toured for several years. For people all around the world it was the greatest thrill to see the fancy shooting of the famous Buffalo Bill.
Says a dime novel maybe. In reality, nobody had anywhere near the number of buffalo kills as Jim White. White just didn't have any cartoonists dragging their tongues behind him.

My mother is also related. Have you been to the big Cody reunions? My parents were able to attend one year.
I met a man online from the U.K. who told me that his great-grandfather was from the Blackfoot tribe and was in the traveling show. He went to England with Buffalo Bill and married his great grandmother and stayed there.
My great uncle left Indian school and rode with dude too. His name was Joseph “Chief Lone Fox” Pallan Yuma AZ

Monday, June 24, 1907, Buffalo Bill's Wild West was in Providence.

'The Wars' is a novel by Timothy Findley about a Canadian soldier working with horses in WWI. There was a Canadian film made of it that is quite good.
And you! What have you done lately?
My great grandfather William Travis rode with Buffalo Bills show in Glasgow.
It's amazing to think that you have that link to those past times which were so very different from now.
No TV, no radio, no internet, films were just getting started... You can imagine when this show came to town, everyone wanted to see it!
Absolutely fantastic,I had no idea these films existed,thank you for putting that together,I’m totally thrilled by it,wonderful
My great grandfather George W. Shepherd was a native in the buffalo bill show, and he rode with him.
My 3xuncle was a sharpshooter alongside of Annie Oakley
That was FANTASTIC! Thank you so very much for putting this out there 🙏
What a privilege to be able to see this more than 100 years later. Thank you!
I love old film footage like this. Thanks for posting.

Have you seen the footage of Annie Oakley shooting glass balls and clay pigeons? Edison filmed it in his studio.
One of my late husband's ancestors rode in this show.
Thank you. This is amazing to see, though in many ways, not so different than shows you can see today.

Hey man when my grandma was born, 1900. Great !!
Fascinating footage
I just passed Pawnee Bills home and ranch last week.
They were a quiet bunch back then to say the least, even the horses are quiet 🤫🤷♂️
Very pround i can SEE mexican charros un the show the old mexican vaquero is the Grand father of modern Cowboys bukaroos and charros, congratulations!

Your channel is fantastic.
Just saw one of his handwritten letters for sale at an antique store today
A lot of old plains chiefs in these shows.
Hello,
if the copyright is dating from 1898, the first footage was made in August 31, 1897...
Wish Wild Bill,Wyatt Earp,and other legends appeared in films and wow people had no fear of being run over!
We all know Buffalo Bill so well and through so many legends, it feels as if he was not even real, a mere myth.
Seeing these videos are so fascinating how they break that myth.
Astounding
He was big in England aswell.After the strong interest in his first tour he toured Britain another 2 times.
Would been interesting days to live in.
AWESOME THANK YOU
Buffalo Bill venne anche a Milano, in Italia, col suo spettacolo.
Venne anche a Roma dove allestì il suo spettacolo in un grande campo dove ora sorge Piazzale Clodio
I wish they would of given Lulu Parr credit on film. She was the world bucking horse champion for women. She was the first one to ride the broncos.
I'm pretty sure that is the one and only legend, Lulu Bell Parr riding the bucking horse.
At 04:11 there is text on one frame.
Does it describe the filming location?
I can't pause it on that frame.
Probably a splicing point ID showing for the next reel's film leader. They couldn't record for very long on one roll of film.
My grandad told me about seeing this when it came to Birmingham in the uk .He said everyone was talking about it .
Amazing

Someone should get originals and remaster to 4K!
I thought the film footage was pretty damn good but I shudder to think what life was actually like in those days.
Like camping but indoors :-)
The Good Old Days were, in a word, awful.

^Yes but no Buffalo Bill in the show only Goofy and donald Duck!
Disney is too woke to do that, now.
Hay friend I'm really sorry to have to be the one to tell you but mmmm Walt is dead, He's gone a long time now.
Where was Annie Oakley?
At the end of the video shows woman were really aggressive with the guys!! wow!! When the submission changed!😉

Buffalo Bill is my medium distant cousin. My father's mother was a Cody.
I noticed the woman wearing dresses down to their ankles - times sure have changed !

Always wondered if the Newman film was accurate at all. Seems like the idea was, anyway.

Wild west also films the wildest horses :))

Can't someone actually identify the town in the first footage? Should be recognizable to someone.

Anyone ever heard of L F Foster?
IS GOOD SEE INDIANS & WHITE PEOPLE, IN PEACE...thanks Buffalo Bill !!
I saw that in another video, its really nice to see :)
It got them off the reservation. Whiteowl

The history of this country would sound very very different if the original natives, slaves and latinos perspective was considered too.
