Wild West Word Search
This Wild West word search rides through the cattle towns and mining camps of the 1870s and 1880s: the cowboy and his lasso, the sheriff and the posse, the saloon, Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral, Billy the Kid, Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill.
The gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, on October 26, 1881, lasted about thirty seconds. Wyatt Earp, his brothers Virgil and Morgan and Doc Holliday faced the Clanton and McLaury brothers, and three men died. The fight took place in a vacant lot near the corral, not inside it. Deadwood, in the Black Hills of Dakota, grew up almost overnight after gold was found there in the mid-1870s.
Buffalo Bill Cody turned the frontier into a show. His Wild West, first staged in 1883, toured America and Europe with trick riders, a stagecoach holdup and the sharpshooter Annie Oakley, who could split a playing card held edge-on with a bullet. Most real cowboys were young and poorly paid and spent their days on long cattle drives rather than in gunfights, and historians estimate that about one in four was Black.
