EDITORS COMMENTS
This handwritten letter, signed by the early aviation pioneer Samuel Franklin Cody (1867-1913), dates back to May 22nd, 1901, and was penned on the distinctive Klondyke Nugget stationery. Cody, an Englishman who became a prominent figure in American aviation, wrote this letter in the context of his Wild West show, which combined the thrill of early aviation demonstrations with the excitement of the American West's frontier spirit. The letter, written in elegant Edwardian script, reveals a glimpse into the daily operations of Cody's traveling spectacle. He discusses the logistical challenges of setting up camp, mentioning the need for "good strong men" to help erect the tents and arrange the scenery. Cody's letter also touches upon the importance of securing a suitable location for the show, as he writes, "I am trying to get a good site for the show, but it is not easy as there are so many claims." This fascinating artifact offers a unique insight into the world of early aviation pioneers and the Wild West shows that captivated audiences in the early 1900s. The intricate penmanship and historical context make this letter an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of aviation, the American West, or the Edwardian era.
