The Deadliest Show on Earth: The Appalachian Wild West Show Shootout of 1905

  • Summary

  • In the summer of 1905, the Wild West came alive in the heart of Appalachia, complete with a saloon, a shootout, and a dramatic train attack. Join us as we tell the wild tale of Texas Bill's Wild West Show, which turned a simple sightseeing trip by their performers into a deadly encounter on the train out of Richwood, West Virginia.

    This was the kind of Wild West show the passengers on that train didn’t expect, nor want.
