This is really neat to come across, I’m the great great grandson of Buckskin Ben, great grandson of Montana Meechy. I appreciate being able to see these pictures. I’ve also heard the story is in the cowboy museum but not sure.

I am Sharon K. Scott- Ochs, Great Great Granddaughter of Buckskin Ben. Ella Stalker Bitner was my maternal great grandmother. What a wonderful tribute and historical compilation, allowing me a glimpse into their lives that have allowed me mine. Thank you ~

Great pictures and information and much more can be told. Much of the information about Buckskin Ben was taken from my book, The Biggest Little Wild West Show on Earth, The Story of Buckskin Ben Stalker's Wild West Show, which was copyrighted in 1997. If you would like a full copy of the book, it is available for $15 from Carolyn Lafever, 102 Orchard St. Cambridge City, IN 47327. This includes p & h & tax. I did considerable research including circus museums, family, books and newspapers. Carolyn Lafever, Wayne County Historian

I am a great granddaughter of Buckskin Ben also. My Grandmother was Myrtle Stalker. My father was her son, Benjamin Meech. He was known as Buckskin Ben Jr. His name and Buckskin Ben's name was copywrited so that no one could use it. Montana Meechy was my Grandfather and he also had a wild west show. They joined the two shows together. That's how my grandparents met. Please let me hear from you. We are kinfolks. My email is daughtersofjabez@yahoo.com Suzanne Meech Wheeler

I am the Great-Grandson of Noah Waddell. I was looking up information on his time with the show. I found the articles interesting and was glad to see a couple pictures of him. If anyone else has any pictures or information please let me know.

Amazing collection of Ben photos! Have you been to CC to see his house and burial site? How did you collect so many photos? Are you a descendant? Phyllis in Cambridge City
