Please do Booker T. Washington next 👍🏾
It’s worth noting to that in the final years of the Wild West show Buffalo Bill found himself resting after a show and has a pleasant interaction with a young 5 year old boy. That boy was Walt Disney. The Wild West show is said to have some inspiration in what became Disneyland
Meh...
Cool!
Walt Disney met Buffalo Bill himself!? He just shot up a few notches in my book.
The Wild West "craze" was one heck of a phenomenon from what I've read. Might we get a video at some future date discussing why Europeans were so enthusiastic about folks like Buffalo Bill? I've read some differing opinions that say most of the hype came from those dime-novel adventures - but there's also Karl May, a German author who wrote quite a few adventure novels set in the Wild West...though he apparently never once set foot in America! Makes me wonder a little bit about the guy, and whether his books influenced only the German-speaking parts of Europe, or maybe just contributed to an overall effect.
My ancestor, George Brown, was a trick shooter in Bill’s Wild West show.
That is pretty cool! I loved ANYTHING that had to do with "The Wild West" as a kid.
That's pretty cool I found out like a year or so ago that somehow I'm related to belle Starr but no idea how everyone that could've told me is passed away now
Thats awesome
That's really cool man!
So cool love the old west
My grandfather who was born in 1876 shook hands with Buffalo Bill when he brought his wild west show to Manchester England, which he did three times. He died when I was 12 and he used to tell me all about it.
Absolutely need a movie on this man, with Wild Bill & Custer.
keeps is lowkey wild for having mr biographics advertise hair product. I love the channel thank you so much for all of the amazing content!
My grandpa worked at the Irma, his hotel / restaurant in Cody, Wyoming as the lead chef for almost 40 years. Old Bill Cody always fascinated me as a kid.
Good Lord! I can't believe you mentioned the Great Buffalo Hunt of Grand Duke Alexis! The main campsite is basically just over the hill from what would later be the farm my mother was born on in 1935. I've been to the marker several times in my youth during the '70s and very early '80s.
I made friends with a local farmer, the same age as my grandparents, who loved nothing more than to take Boy Scout troops to it. And regale tales of his father and the hunt. His father was one of the locals hired on a scouts. His name is on the marker. Along with Buffalo Bill's, General Sheridan, Col. George A. Custer and several of the well know Sioux cheifs who were in attendance to help with the hunt and to put on a show for the Grand Duke.
You just never hear anything about this hunt outside of the local history.
This was northeast of Hayes Center, Nebraska located in the southwest corner of the state. The local news paper was the Hayes Center Times Republican but l have no idea if it still exists. It was a weekly newspaper and l imagine it died out in the '90s like so many small town papers did.
Thanks for mentioning the event!

Buffalo Bill
My Great uncle knew him, had a little road side museum/gas station in Colorado. I have his pistol from a show they did on his property in the late 1800
Buffalo Bill was a great American hero. I've lived in Cody, Wyoming. The town he started, my dog's name is Cody. I've visited his grave multiple times. He was a showman who also lived it. Stood up for native rights. He's my favorite American!
I respect the natives. Not far removed from them. Though I don’t claim any.
Future Video suggestion -
Eamon DeValera (1882-1975) - prominent political leader in 20th century Ireland who, after the Irish war of independence from 1919 to 1921, was in the public eye for over forty years from 1922 until his death were he served as head of government (Taoiseach) and head of state (president). He was nearly executed in the Easter Rising in 1916 and was key in putting into place the new constitution on 1937. A very prominent figure in Irish history.
Thanks so much for doing a video on Buffalo Bill! He’s the reason why I’m into Western History and why I’m also a Buffalo Bills fan! 😂 I wish I would have been able to meet him. That would have been awesome!
Loving this channel. Have recommended it to friends. I think that this is the most interesting way to learn some basics about history; Learn about the life of interesting historical figures and you learn about history it self by proxy.
“The People’s Profile” might be a good channel for you if you like these videos
Thanks for watching
My great-great-great grandpa was Alexander Majors, that freight man that he worked for. Different time back then. I still live in Denver.
Could you do a video on Emperor Justinian The Great, I feel people don't know of massive impact of his actions and also because he was the only Byzantine Emperor to have the balls to try to reignite the glory of Rome after it fell.
Buffalo Bill,ha. How about something on Stagecoach Mary Fields?
Love your videos on people who lived in the Old West
He did in fact take that scalp. It is documented that he boxed it up and sent it to his wife (unpreserved) and it arrived in a very odiferous condition. She claimed to have fainted when she opened the box.
Go Bills!
2:00 - Chapter 1 - Early years
5:45 - Chapter 2 - "Expert riders willing to risk death daily . Orphans preferred"
8:50 - Chapter 3 - The scout of the plains
13:30 - Chapter 4 - There's no business...
“There’s no business like show business” - and there was even another William Cody, a star of silent westerns. But he’s the stuff for another video.
"He weren't no range rider!"😀😂😀
In Australia we literally have an ice cream named Buffalo Bill 😂
With a bubblegum nose
Absolute legend.
Speaking of famous Bills, can you do biographics on comedian Bill Hicks.
I second this ^^^
I THIRD IT, BILL HICKS, THE COMEDIAN. ALTHOUGH I LOVE MANY COMEDIANS, Bill Hicks was one I had missed from the 80's. SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT HIM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ON A CHAT.( INTERESTING )
Considering historical figures with secondary ties to the American Civil War, Henry Morgan Stanley would be a fascinating figure for you to cover!
All enjoy these episodes!
Thanks for watching
I’ve been to the Bill Cody museum in North Platte Nebraska a few times
Looking sharp man 🙌🏽 interesting story !
Very interesting man.
Bills Mafia
Great video!
Awesome guy!
Wild Whistler TH-cams greatest showman.
Lmao.... I love simons narration so much I’m actually happy listening to his preshow advertising..... keep up the great work!
Love this channel! What about a video on Fredrick Russell burnham American mercenary and adventurer
Fascinating
I went to one his shows back in 90’s.
When are you guys going to do an episode related to the life of Nicholas Winton, AKA The British Schindler?
"It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again."
An interesting point, when Bill died it was too cold to bury him as the ground was frozen and the road to Lookout mountain, his would-be grave, overlooking Golden Colorado was impassable. As a result, a local funeral home in Denver, Olinger’s, kept his body on ice for several months until he could be buried. That same funeral home is now a restaurant. Also worthy of note, many believe Cody’s body was stolen and buried near Cody Wyoming, the town he helped found, and to this day there is a sort of (mostly lighthearted) contention between Golden CO and Cody WY about which location his body is buried in. (It’s Colorado, he had a glass top casket, pictures taken of his body and funeral and his closest friends and family and hundreds of other people saw him in his forever box at the funeral)
Do one on Buffalo Bob
Bill had his first taste of fame-and he liked it😊
This is my first time on this channel. I enjoy this story. I also enjoy the comments as much.
...but why is Ian from Forgotten Weapons in the thumbnail?
Gun Jesus is everywhere
Read Little Big Man, movie is also a classic. The Forrest Gump of the west. Wild Bill is amazingly dry and funny.
Can you plz do one about Macbeth cause I need to revise it for school thxxx
i have no business being this early
simon the bald... keepser of the shine.
Please a video of mikhail Kalinin
Can you do a video on Hans von Luck or Hanns Scharff?
I’ve been watching so much @traploreross that when Simon said cody was coming back. I thought he was gonna say he came back “in a pack!!”
Please do one Bio on Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord 🙏
Also Alimănescu when?
What about Clovis, the very first french king ?
Go bills
Need Buntline needs his own Bio Graphics. He could be called an inventor of the Old West Mythos
you know I can almost recite the Keeps ad by menory! hahaha.. glad tho they are aroubd for guys who need that. (me with my long, luxurious hair lmao use Keeps if you eanna get to 50 and look like this!
In the late 80s my sister and I use to get Buffalo Bill ice cream. It was the face of a cowboy and bubble gum for the nose.😋
J.J. McCullough is a time traveller?!
Could you do Alfred the Great next?
Hey Simon, would be cool to see u do a video of Texas Jack! I am a direct descendant of his sister!
Frederick Selous please.
William S. Burroughs had a life worth a Biographic. 👌
I’m so interested in this time in US History. My family different Ethnicities came to the 1840-50 Irish and 1900s Italians. No Cowboys
Ceaușescu when?
Bill Cody felt that ALL MEN were created equal. Women, on the other hand, had better the HELL fall in LINE! Right - Annie Oakley?
I live in northern Alberta Canada. We have the largest wild buffalo herds in North America. But fun fact they all came from buffalo bill!!!!! Buffalo were nearly killed off by white settlers in Canada and America (as we all know). So major conservation efforts were made at the turn of the century to save the last remaining wild buffalo. Sadly a buffalo pandemic raged through alberta killing all the wild buffalo. Buffalo bill stepped in and helped restore the once native populations. 😊😊😊 I lam be outside elk island national park in Edmonton where wild buffalo roam free and to the north in woodland buffalo park there are hundreds of buffalo now roaming the forests thanks to buffalo bill
I really don't feel it's appropriate to request topics, your talented crew clearly knows it's business . however, following you Babe Ruth Bio, I'd have to suggest you consider Jackie Robinson
Buffalo Bill was an average horse man. He dropped my Winchester 1886 while hunting elk on horseback, and broke the stock at the wrist. Can I prove it? No. But I believe it because I want to. .
This is an interesting channel for history. Another view always interesting. The Wild West, Buffalo Bull. We must never forget the genocide of our Native American Indians in the beginning for quest for more lands here in America and slavery of African people. It is complicated. I love history and read many books on history on all sides. Another great book, although non-fiction by McCarthy, "Blood Meridian " that one will make one think about the west and its horrors. Wild Bill Buffalo, he was in the mist of the Wild West, a figure one can not leave out whether one agrees or disagrees, it was the sign of the times. Even General Custer, and the Trail of Tears. American history one must understand all sides. Thank you. ❤️
Meh...
Bill Cody died broke. That's exactly how I want to go.
Can you imagine being stabbed to death for thinking slavery was wrong? I think it's safe to say we live in a better world today.
Can you do a video about Emma Goldman? She was an anarchist, political activist and writer who was blamed (or allegedly responsible) for multiple assassinations and bombings during the early 20th century. (Including the assassination of William McKinley the 25th president of the United States.
6:00
Had a lot of bills to pay at the end there....
Apparently I am a descendent of this man probably a cousin or something but neat regardless
if a bald man had medicine for his baldness, he would use it for himself
Heyyyy
Hearing Simon compare the show to Big Mama’s House was perfection! 😂
Buffalo Bill was the best buffalo rider that ever lived.
- Platypus Pete Parker
A serial killer is the first come to mind.
I discovered how he kept getting scammed by people who would take his money for "investments." Basically going bankrupt because of poor money management and marriage problems he tried to collect govenment pension as medal of honor recipient.
You got bald at 25? Good for you, 18 for me and my brother.
You know our baldness is different from those pictures, that’s for people who are slowly balding overtime
C'mon Abraham Lincoln was right there and you chose another historic figure not many know about😂
Gee, gosh, nobody ever writes about Abraham Lincoln.
If your sponsors product was that good you hair would be as thick and full as your beard.
You really are talking a lot slower currently. I can't listen to this one at 1.5x but it takes 1.5x to listen to new videos.
Please do Jesus of Nazareth
Balto bro
Like the other "legends" it proves you can not underestimate the bad taste of the public. It is timeless.
Serial killers have reincarnated here in the Philippines.
first
Other than the scalping, that was quite boring.
Shame his life ended with him becoming almost a pathetic figure.
Simon can you donate me some beard I am struggling over here
Paul Newman played Bill but the movie itself is just awful. No script and poorly choreographed.
In America, it is considered divisive racist hate speech to use the terms “African-American “and “Native or Indigenous American “
It is? That's news to me, considering I see those terms used in multiple weekly news reports...
Haven't noticed an uptick in protests, outside those news outlets doors, either..
@@codymoe4986 like you said. In the far left divisive, hateful news
Where and who says the words Native or Indigenous American are hate speech? Please give your sources?
@@archstanton6102 Because the people that began using these terms are liars,cheaters, thieves, crooks, perverts, and murderers. You know, Democrats. Angry, bitter, divisive, entitled, envious, hateful, hurtful, narcissistic, racist, resentful, selfish, short sighted, ungrateful, vapid and vain. The Michelle Obama disvirtues. The usual suspects and their compliant Pravda/Goerbels minions.
@@rogerpenske2411 the phrase African American was 1st used in 1782. This is a documented fact that can be verified.
Can you provide your fact checked evidence and sources for your claims over who first used these words?
Your words sound very angry, divisive and bitter. Hypocrite perhaps?
no offense but why do you show your face so much ? i want to see graphics , photos and video if it exists . not just you talking into a camera .
