Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, Greenock, 8 September 1904
On the 8th September 1904, the people of Greenock and surrounding areas, enthusiastically welcomed the world-famous performer Buffalo Bill and his performing troupe of 800 men and women of all nationalities and 500 horses, for their performance of ‘Buffalo Bill’s Wild West’ at Fort Matilda.
A capacity crowd of 10,000 packed the huge tent in the afternoon and almost 20,000 for the evening performance while the audiences from across the district were treated to a spectacular display of horsemanship, colourful characters and daring feats.
Excitement had been building for days for the much-anticipated extravaganza headed by the popular showman, Buffalo Bill who was well-known for the enormous success of his travelling show throughout America and Europe.
Earlier in the day, a convoy of three special trains, 49 carriages long and stretching for around three-quarters of a mile, arrived at Gourock station carrying the performers and all their paraphernalia.
In Greenock, spectators of all ages were enthralled by the variety of entertainment within the show which included a parade of horsemen of all nationalities with their colourful costumes and splendid horses, over 100 American Indians on horseback painted and whooping war-cries, displays of rifle-shooting, Mexican lasso skills and a daring bicycle leap over a 56 foot chasm. There were realistic enactments from pony express riding, as well as the hold-up of the 'Deadwood Stage' and 'Custer’s Last Stand'. Children in the audience particularly enjoyed the exciting fight between the cowboys and Red-skins.
