Crowds flocked to Cheyenne Bill's Wild West Show and Congress of Rough Riders in July 1909.

This photo shows a cowboy trick rider in the 1909 Wild West Show. The Seattle Times reported that rider Jim Kennedy did somersaults on the galloping horse's back, hung by his heels, and ended his performance with a headstand in the saddle as his horse raced off the stage.
