"Wild West Shows" were popular entertainment events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showcasing the culture and lifestyle of the American West. These shows featured cowboys, Native Americans, and various acts such as sharpshooting, roping, and horseback riding. They aimed to recreate the excitement of frontier life and often included staged battles and demonstrations of skills. One of the most famous figures associated with these shows was Buffalo Bill Cody, who founded the Buffalo Bill's Wild West show in 1883. These performances traveled across the United States and even to Europe, helping to shape the public's perception of the Wild West and its legends.
