"He wound up working in Bill Cody’s Wild West Show, as an acrobat and cowboy."

Very cool. However, was never happy about Sitting Bull selling out to Cody's Wild West Show. Some claim he did so to keep the Native American culture alive. Then he went back to the reservation to re-organize his tribe and got shot by a soldier. A question mark for the West...much like did Pat Garrett really kill William Bonney?

My cowboy grandpa married a woman related to the Butch Cassidy gang. Bub Meeks, a robber shot and jailed at the Montpelier Idaho was her cousin.Both of my great grandparents born Parowan Utah, over Brian Head pass from Panguitch, near Cassidy’s home. All Mormon pioneers, some from England.
