Buffalo Bill Cody must have despised driving past the Sells-Floto Circus ticket office, as he did in this 1915 photograph. A debt he owed forced him into working for the circus, and the world-famous showman ended up dying, penniless, two years later.

Mike Miller Under the gallows, they had pictures of all the people who had been hanged there. I always thought that was a bit morbid.

While Buffalo Bill’s Wild West performed in Naples, Italy, in 1890, volcanic activity from Vesuvius could be seen from the arena (shown here). The fireworks-like display of regular ejections foretold the volcano’s severe eruption in 1906. Cody donated $5,000 to relief efforts (that same year, he also donated $1,000 to victims of the disastrous earthquake and fire in San Francisco, California).

Christopher Kilbride I know Codys Wild West Show played to just about every crowned head in Europe. It was such a popular show. I think Kaiser Willhelm II had a cigarette shot out of his mouth by Annie Oakley. He was advised to not do it. He told his advisers he would and did so.
