• CA. 1893 GREAT AMERICAN COWBOY RACE
  CA. 1893 GREAT AMERICAN COWBOY RACE - BUFFALO BILLThis is an outstanding, historic and rare photograph showing the start of the Chadron-Chicago Cowboy Race to the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, June 12th, 1893, by photographer Foss & Eason Chadron, Nebraska. The large format photograph is marked in the negative, “Ready for the start Charon-Chicago Cowboy RACE June 13th, 1893, Photographed by Foss & Eason Chadron Neb.” The great 1,000-mile endurance race from Chadron, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois is considered the undisputed “Great American Cowboy Race” that started June 13, 1893 with a field of nine riders, each with two horses. On the morning of June 27, 1893, the riders made it to Chicago and the “1,000 Mile Tree” at the site of the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, but the winning order was disputed. The racer was apparently the idea of Chadron jokester John G. Maher. Seven of the nine riders finished, with some traveling up to ninety miles a day. Nebraska badman “Doc” Middleton was an rider. John Berry won, riding Sandy and Poison, but was disqualified for having prior knowledge of the route. Chadron officials declared Joe Gillespie and Charlie Smith winners. Upon research of this race, and this image, none of the original photographs of the start, such as our example offered in this lot, are in the public market. The image is light and the large card has some loss to the edge. Provenance: From the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. Measures 9 7/8” by 8”.

• BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW
  BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW DOUBLE PORTRAITStamped on the back "Goplo 55. Avenue Des Ternes, 55 Paris". An unusual image showing two front facing young Native American men. One man standing, wearing a jacket with beaded fringe over a tunic with a long fur pelt sash partially obscuring a posing stand. His hand is resting on the shoulder of a seated man wearing a feathered headband with a beaded strand hanging across his face, a bone bead breastplate, and pelts. Across his lap is what may be a blanket. Against his left leg is a short staff or crop, his right hand holds a revolver with the barrel resting on his knee. Many of these performers brought their families on tour. This trip as a performer with the Wild West Show in the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition would have affordedan opportunity to escape the restrictive confines of the reservations and practice traditional activities such as hunting or dancing while wearing traditional tribal dress, all things prohibited on reservations. As employees of Buffalo Bill they were paid wages, provided food and living accommodations, and given the chance to travel relatively freely. Approx 4-1/4" L x 6-1/2" H. Overall wear consistent with age. See images for more details on condition. This item can be shipped in house.

• BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WESTBuffalo
  BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WESTBuffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. A Group of Wild West Girls and Cowboys – The Virginia Reel on Horseback. Cincinnati: Enquirer Job Ptg., ca. 1890s. A 12-sheet color lithograph billboard (approx. 120 x 84”) mounted on old linen as one unit. With mild to heavy soiling, scattered chips and losses across image, some over-painting, but strong and colorful overall. Depicting one of the most popular and enduring features of Buffalo Bill’s show, the Virginia reel on horseback. In this portrayal, a gathering of men and women on horseback are shown on the open prairie, a section of them with brass instruments to accompany the couples’ dancing. Such imagery confirms what historian Louis Warren writes of the narrative backdrop of the performance, introduced about 1886, in which “a community in transition, either on their way across the prairie by wagon train or in the midst of building a ranch or town” would break into dance when some call for celebration was found (Buffalo Bill’s America [Knopf, 2005 pg. 250]). Possibly unique.
