Wild West Scrapbook Investigation – Can You Help?
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

This season on History Detectives, the audience can become a history detective by getting involved with their new exciting feature – Web Investigations. History Detectives post a mystery and you help them solve it. Each week, updates and new leads – provided by the audience and their own History Detectives – will be released. The final results will be announced online at the end of the investigation.

Their first investigation was submitted by David Gindy from Coral Gables, Florida. David has an old scrapbook that seems to date back to the 1800s with ties to the Wild West and an Italian dancer.

Did an Italian can-can dancer keep a scrapbook of letters from Wild West characters like Buffalo Bill and other western ephemera? Check out the investigation on History Detectives.
