Buffalo Gals: Women of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
A strong gust of wind blew a pair of tumbleweeds into the path of a team of horse hitched to a wagon. It spooked the animals, and they reared and bucked and then bolted. The gray-haired woman holding the reins of the team screamed. The wagon pitched and swayed as the horses jerked it around. The woman cried out for help.
Suddenly a magnificent stallion was hurrying toward the out-of-control wagon. The confident horseback rider, adorned in buckskin britches and a jacket, spurred the stallion along until it caught up to the team. Springing forward, the rider leapt out of the saddle and landed on the back of one of the horses.
The brave rider swerved the team out of the path of a group of townspeople just as they were leaving a church. A shout went up from the onlookers. The lady driving the wagon regained her composure and pulled back on the reins. The daring horseback rider helped quiet the team to a stop.
A thunderous applause echoed around them. The lady in the wagon stood up, removed a gray wig on her head and took a bow. The rider dismounted, removed her cowboy hat, and waved to the crowd of spectators. The audience that had assembled to witness the performance in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was not disappointed by the expert display of horsemanship exhibited by the high-riding Parry sisters.
