My grandfather Robert Hall was on the Tiger Bill wild west show however it dates back a bit further than this photo.I believe My dad told me that Tiger Bill Snyder was the second genoration of this wild west show? This gent looks like the the same man Who my dad said he knew?
When I get home I will dig up a couple of old photos and send you. My grandfather was a halfbreed Indian with long braids and all.
Wonderful history Jimmy. Please do send the photos and info. Nice to hear that you have both European roots and American.
I understand that Tiger Bill was also a builder of show equip; truck bodies, ring curbs, etc. and would be quite prominent in wtrqtrs. getting the shows on the road.
His son, Leon would continue in the wild west-concert biz. until it fizzled out and last I heard he was driving a truck around the Ft. Myers-Punta Gordo area, but this was some time ago.
What a great picture and such a famous group of overland show people.
