Taming the Wild West
| Even before the
Continental American frontier was declared officially closed in
1900, Western Showmen like 'William F. Cody' were
"re-creating" the "wild west" with traveling
troupes of performers. Since then, the old west heritage
has enjoyed varying degrees of appeal to the rest of the
world. This appeal has never really disappeared. |
| Over the
last 40 years ordinary folks dressed up and performed,
live. The Old West Gunfighter scenes, always a crowd
pleaser, has flourished among dedicated groups across America
who portray cowboy action shooting and acting scenes that would
typify an event one would see in the latter part of the 19th
Century in the Wild West. |
| There are still a
few who follow this time honored
tradition of bringing to the public, the color and flavor of a
time gone by. Constuming, accoutrements and even the
pistols used during an event are either a
well-preserved original artifact of that era, or an excellent
reproduction. |
| Whether it is a
dramatic recreation of an actual event, or a comedy skit, the
re-inactors can bring crowd-pleasin',
high-tension action to your event. |
