Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show traveled wordwide in the late 1890 to bring the American frontier to the Eastern States, and Europe. Here is Bill Cody in front of a minature western town called GraEagle. While his show was very popular with Cowboys, Indians, and Buffalo, it was a Gal named Annie Oakley who stold the show in Europe.

The early morning stage run is just in front of the Indians who are not happy with the White Man and his growing devistation of the land. It looks like they will make it to town saftely... this time. In fact, they don't have time to shoot some Buffalo on the way to town with the tribe right behind the stage.

Our town of GraEagle is gaining in population as the covered wagon move in. These folks are moving out West to seek their fame and fortune. It should be noted that not all the folks who moved out West were of the best of characters. In fact, some are down right mean... however, the remote Western towns had a way of dealing with them type as you'll see in the next frame.

Justice out West was a little bit different than that of the Eastern States. For a no-good horse thief, the penality was quite harsh.... unless of course the limb was rotten and it would break under the weight of the guilty so-and-so.
