A big hello to Migky,
How you doing my friend? loads of somersaulting smileys ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

And poor old Annie, what a deprived childhood, no skipping song. Probably couldn't remember the words, I mean Mexican has at least 7 letters ::)

I know a descendant of those North American Indians, she is beautiful, and when you hear her story, you can see her immediately for who she is.

Love you all my friends, and apologies for being AWOL, but I'm back now, well at least for a few hours, who knows what tomorrow might bring ;D

How

Bow to the queen,
Turn my back
On the submarine.
I can do the tap dance,
I can do the split,
I can do the hokey pokey
Just like this.

I laughed when I saw this ....  ;D

"Bill probably went to the Indian reservations himself to sign up the Indians for his show that year. That these "sign up" days were great occasions in the lives of the Indians is evident from a description attributed to Death Valley Scotty:
The ceremony of selecting the Indians for the show became an annual spring affair, and when he could Cody selected the lucky individuals himself. The Indians, five or six hundred of them, would come to Rushville (a Nebraska town near the South Dakota border) where the selections were made, and they came in their finest buckskins, feathers, and beads. They were quite a sight in their grand finery. Only a small part of that number could be used, and the ones not chosen felt pretty bad about it. The government required the Colonel, or his representative, to post bonds that the Indians would be well fed while away and that they would be returned to the reservation in good health and a new suit of clothes.16"
"C.D. O'Kieffe, who lived in the area in the eighties, said, "I'll never forget seeing Buffalo Bill come each spring to get his braves. They left in paint and feathers and returned, after a year, in Prince Albert coats, Stetsons, patent leather shoes and long, well-groomed glossy hair."17" [Yost. Buffalo Bill, Chicago, p. 143]

A lovely description of their return, but can you imagine the consternation caused by their 'manc' accent. Eh up, How :o

Hi Annie and thanks for the welcome,

I didn't see the pole being erected myself but a friend of mine is the historic buildings officer for Salford Council who oversaw the event. I'll see what I can find out about it and see if he has any pictures, I'm sure he will. Also, another friend told me recently that one of his relations worked on the liners that went direct from Manchester Docks at Salford, down the Manchester Ship Canal, straight across the Atlantic and up the Hudson River - quite amazing really. Are you still based in Liverpool or somewhere across the pond?
