Product Information
Ten years in the making, The Real Wild West tells, for the first time, the story of the most remarkable and influential ranch of the old American West.Founded in 1893, the 101 Ranch in Oklahoma embodies the spirit of the American frontier. At its zenith it encompassed 110,000 acres. It operated its own trains. It had its own oil supply and refinery. It had its own telephone system and mail service. It contained schools and churches, a cider mill, a cannery, an ice plant. At the two-storey 101 Ranch Store, shoppers could buy everything from 'a needle to a Ford car'. The touring 101 Real Wild West Show - featuring up to 1,000 performers - was known around the world.Full of astonishing stories and incredible characters - Geronimo, Buffalo Bill, Will Rogers, Theodore Roosevelt, and, most remarkable of all, the 101's owner, Colonel George Miller, and his three sons - The Real Wild West reflects the story of America itself, in all its grandeur and with all its foibles.Product Identifiers
