Buffalo Bill, Butteri, and the 1890 Bucking Contest in Rome
With Renee Lagreid
Join us the second Thursdays of the months of January through April for Cody Culture Club. Appetizers and cash bar at every program. If you love Cody, you’re part of the Club!
Buffalo Bill’s 1890 show in Rome involved a series of bucking contests between his cowboys and local Italian cowboys, or butteri, from a local estate. The contested outcome of this contest, known as La Sfida, is still remembered in Italy today as a metaphor for divisions between the New World and the Old. Dr. Renee Laegreid, Andrew Allen Excellence Fellow in Western History at the University of Wyoming, shares her research into this fascinating story.
