Frontier Days origins and decline in Cheyenne history
The Cheyenne Frontier Days festival began in 1898 after Col. B A Slack proposed a free range riding and roping show. It drew thousands in early years, then was privatized by a syndicate led by Colonel Black, shifting to a private business with declining public support and enthusiasm over time.
