Buffalo Bill & the Wild West Shows of Seattle | Mossback's Northwest

The frontier Barnum, Buffalo Bill Cody, started a trend with Wild West shows -- and Seattle was an eager audience. Audiences for Wild West shows were steeped in the mythology of the old West, but performers were presented as “authentic” cowboys, Native people, soldiers and others reenacting a pageant of Manifest Destiny.

The show must go on. Good job this subject matter is like a lot of others mixed with facts and a lot of fiction. I suppose the survivors (or the winner) gets to write the history books. thank you ALL stay safe
