Vlad Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Apologies if this has been covered in past years...I don't know why but I find it incongruous to think of Buffalo Bill in Bergerac. I was astounded to see a plaque on a house (next door to a Chinese restaurant!) in Bergerac saying that he stayed there on 9 October 1905. A little research backs this up - see http://books.google.fr/books?id=J9iB7ftjaYIC&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87&dq=buffalo+bill+bergerac&source=bl&ots=zyrheIHokS&sig=D6kmGi_ROSpS0_EWqShuLnGCFDA&hl=en&ei=H2eeToHgO9Gr8QPJhK2UCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false. Here is the plaque: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martin-m-miles/4171087443/. Can anyone shed anymore light on this episode? Any ideas where his Wild West Show performed in Bergerac?

Hoddy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Buffalo Bill travelled widely with his show. According to my grandma he even visited Uttoxeter.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Were the locals so fascinated by a mass murderer whom I thought was fictional anyway?[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
