On 20th September 1891, Buffalo Bill Coady and his Wild West Show performed at Cardiff. This was to be the first of many further visits to Wales.
William Cody was a man of action. By the age of 15 he was riding for the fabled Pony Express. By 1864 he was a scout for General Phil Sheridan and three years later had become a buffalo hunter for the Kansas Pacific railroad. It was said that he shot over 4,000 buffaloes in a two year period, which was how he got his name.
International fame came with a written report telling how he acted as a guide for the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia on his tour of the west and a novel called Buffalo Bill, King Of The Border Men. Then in 1883 Cody decided to make some money out of his experiences and formed his famous Wild West show, which was invited to Britain in 1887 to help celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and he brought with him over 500 people - cowboys and Indians, back stage workers, grooms and so on. He also had 180 horses, 18 buffalo and numerous other animals including elks and Texas longhorn cattle. The famous Annie Oakley, sharpshooter and trick shot specialist was in the company and, it was reported, she shot a cigar out of the mouth of the German Kaiser who had come to help his grandmother celebrate her jubilee.
His visit was so successful that returned four years later in 1891, visiting many other cities, including Cardiff, where he set up camp in Sophia Gardens, creating an arena 175 yards long and 70 yards wide. On the first day of the show over 20,000 spectators packed into Sophia Gardens. The next three days were just as popular and it was estimated that, overall, nearly 130,000 people came to watch Buffalo Bill and his showmen.
Cody returned to Britain in 1902, the trip lasting until 1904 and stopped in Wales for several months, performing in many different towns. However this was Buffalo Bill's last visit. Ill health and a series of financial misfortunes prevented him returning as when he died in 1917, Cody was virtually bankrupt, but his position as one of the most renowned showmen of the age was assured.
