内布拉斯加日(Nebraskaland
Days)
地方性遗产
照片中的马正要将背上的人甩出去。而马背上的骑师则努力试着留在野马背上，野马是指尚未驯服或不适于骑乘的马匹。在内布拉斯加日，无鞍野马骑乘是野牛比尔马术竞赛会(Buffalo
Bill Rodeo)上的盛事，这场于北普拉特(North
Platte)举办的节日旨在庆祝内布拉斯加的文化，而野牛比尔马术竞赛会的点子则来自于野牛比尔他本人。
原名威廉弗雷德里克科迪(William
Frederick Cody)的野牛比尔出生于1846年的爱荷华州。他以在西部时担任侦察兵及猎人的冒险经历而闻名。1882年7月4日时，野牛比尔于北普拉特举办了一场名为「星条旗盛宴」(Old
Glory Blowout)的聚会。它的节目包括了野牛骑乘、无鞍野马骑乘、套小牛及马赛。北普拉特镇声称这是首场且从未有人举办过的活动。另外，节目中也进行了野牛追捕及其他表演项目，如：战争现场重现或示范演出。又名「野牛比尔的西大荒演出」(Buffalo
Bill's Wild West)的星条旗盛宴十分的成功，因而负责筹办此盛会的野牛比尔就带着它巡回美国各地演出，足迹甚至远踏欧洲。这场西部蛮荒秀表演巡回至1916年并让野牛比尔闻名全世界。时至今日，野牛比尔马术竞赛会及内布拉斯加日都是现代版本的野牛比尔的西大荒演出。

The man in the photo is about to be thrown off his horse. He is trying very hard to stay on a bucking bronc -- a horse that hasn't been "broken," or made suitable for riding. Bareback bronc riding is an event at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo during a celebration of Nebraskan culture called Nebraskaland Days in North Platte. The idea for the Buffalo Bill Rodeo came from the man himself, Buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill was born William Frederick Cody in Iowa in 1846. He became famous for his adventures as a scout and hunter in the West. On the Fourth of July in 1882, Buffalo Bill held an "Old Glory Blowout" in North Platte, Nebraska. It included buffalo riding, bucking bronc riding, steer roping, and horse racing. The town of North Platte claims it as the first rodeo ever held. The show also had a buffalo hunt and events in which people re-enacted, or demonstrated, battles. The "Old Glory Blowout" was such a success that Buffalo Bill took the show, known as "Buffalo Bill's Wild West," on the road throughout the United States and even to Europe. The Wild West show made him world famous, and he toured with it until 1916. Today, the Buffalo Bill Rodeo and Nebraskaland Days is the modern-day version of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
