Churchill Downs: The History behind the Twin Spires

When you talk with people about Churchill Downs, one thing comes to mind – the twin spires. Even people who don’t watch horseracing know about Churchill Downs and its twin spires due to the popularity of races such as the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. The track has also hosted the Breeders’ Cup races on six occasions. What most people don’t know is the history behind the track and how the twin spires came to be.

The track is named after John and Henry Churchill. The two leased eighty acres of land to their nephew Colonel Meriweather Lewis Clark, Jr. Clark was actually grandson of famous explorer William Clark. He was also the president of the Louisville Jockey Club and Driving Park Association. Richard Ten Broeck was a horse breeder and trainer and Clark’s father-in-law. Broek was an accomplished trainer, regularly attending the English Derby at Epsom Downs in London. He was the man that introduced Clark to the world of horse racing.

Louisville had always had a love affair with horseracing. After all, it was home to Oakland racecourse as well as Woodlawn. When these two tracks closed, there was a void in Louisville that needed filling. Churchill Downs would do just that.

For quite some time, Churchill had a reputation as a gambling hall. Some changes needed to be made and in 1893 the track was sold to a syndicate that was led by William Applegate. New changes were implemented including shortening the track and the commissioning of the twin spire grandstand in 1895. A new tradition would also be implemented that year – the adorning of the Kentucky Derby winner in a garland of roses.

The twin spires are the most recognizable feature of Churchill Downs. They have been standing since 1895 and were designed by architect Joseph Dominic Baldez. Since the spires were built, several renovations have been made to the track itself. Today, the Churchill Downs complex covers over 147 acres, nearly double its original size. The dirt oval main track is a mile while the turf track is 7/8 of a mile. From 2001 to 2005, the grandstand underwent a $121 million renovation. The renovation replaced the clubhouse and added 79 luxury suites and the twin spires were refurbished.

Another unique addition to Churchill Downs was the adding of a mural that depicted the 96 jockeys that had won the Kentucky Derby from 1875 to 2004. The mural was painted by Pierre Bellocq, who updated the mural in 2008 to reflect all of the winning jockeys and trainers to date. The renovation was somewhat of a controversy since the new grandstand suites block full view of the twin spires, although they are still the highest points of the facility.

Mick Dittman: The Enforcer

Queenslander, Leonard Ross Dittman, known as Mick Dittman didn't take long to become one of Australia's champion jockeys with an outstanding career record. Known as 'The Enforcer' because of his use of the whip, Dittman dominated Australian race tracks in partnership with trainer, late T. J. Smith, a formidable combination that rewrote many chapters in horse racing history.

Dittman began his racing career on the Gold Coast as an apprentice with Bill Kraft in the mid-1960s. As an apprentice, Dittman's first triumph was on Red Shah in the 1968 Gold Coast Newmarket. The taste of victory was too tempting for 'The Enforcer' who soon steered Makata in the very next year to the winning post in the Ipswich Cup. His final years as an apprentice with Patt Duff in Brisbane was the beginning of a glorious adventure on the tracks with his first Group 1 win on Knee High in the 1972 Doomben Cup.

Dittman made sure he dominated Brisbane racing . The big southern carnivals were his lucky charm with a record six winners as well as a second place at in a special program at Eagle Farm in November 1976.

Dittman's never say die attitude continued in the 1980s in Sydney in a partnership with Tommy Smith, in whose stable he became the top rider. The Smith-Dittman duo brought home three Sydney premierships which formed the basis of one of the most formidable combinations in Australian horse racing history. Winning 88 Group 1 races is no small feat for Dittman whose penchant for winning resulted in a total of 1700 victories which included the Melbourne Cup in 1982 where he collared the 'King', Kingston Town, in the shadows of the post to take Gurner's Lane home by a 1/2 head.

Among the other memorable wins in the saddle are three Golden Slippers, two Cox Plates, and a Caulfield Cup. Angus Armanasco trainer of Full On Aces was the colt that brought home Dittman his very first Golden Slipper in 1981, followed by yet another victory in 1986 with the T. J Smith trained Bounding Away. Chestnut filly Bint Marscay trained by L. Freedman handed him his third Golden Slipper Stakes in the year of 1993. Strawberry Road and Red Anchor were the two horses that won him Cox Plates while he rode Sydeston home in the Caulfield Cup.

Had Dittman forayed onto the race tracks overseas, it doesn't take much of an imagination to figure out what his record would have turned out to be, especially along with T. J. Smith. His love for his native Queensland made him entertain only interstate mounts during the big carnivals.

A mangnificent horse racing career with more than 1700 wins can not go unnoticed. Mick Dittman, undoubtedly, was inducted into Australia's Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2002. Dittman hung up his racing boots to become a bloodstock agent in Singapore. This is not before setting up his son, Luke Dittman, to continue his rich legacy. Gamblers at Eagle Farm Racecourse have the 1000 metres Mick Dittman Plate to wager on as a tribute to Mick Dittman, 'The Enforcer'.

You know you have heard such a sentence when you hear inside a corresponding Yes. The Yes is an echo of sorts, or at least it is the same voice as is the Echo that you have come to count on. Such a sentence takes your breath away…. It tells you something about yourself that you suspected or hoped, something you glimpsed but were too shy or uncertain to name aloud.” To Hear and Live Your Calling When one day a friend wondered if he was being called to a certain field of work, he asked Robert Benson, “Do you think I am?” The Echo Within is Robert’s illuminating answer, a thoughtful, honest, profoundly-affecting account of his own search and failings and eventual discovery of the Yes he describes–what it is one truly is called to do and be. Written out of a lifelong search and response to the callings on his life, The Echo Within explores: •how to love the work you do, and the process of doing it. •ways to sense God’s pleasure in your pursuits, both in the pursuits and in you. •whether you fall into your vocation as a destiny or you chart that course. •how to begin living with added dimensions of meaning and purpose. Through the ups and downs of the changes inherent in family life, professional choice, and spiritual experience, Robert shares with wisdom, humor, and heart what he’s learned–and how you can discover your calling too.

Echo Party $11.98 It was never supposed to be like this. Echo Party began as the Traffic Entertainment Group label's attempt to help producer, MC, and DJ Edan Portnoy get back in the swing of recording, following the indie success of his 2005 sophomore release Beauty and the Beat and a subsequent slowdown in output. The idea was that he'd be given full access to the label's deep back catalog and draw on it to create a remix album. Two years later, he had finished this: a 30-minute pastiche that not only takes old Traffic releases as raw material, but blends them with newly recorded instruments, effects, and turntablist elaborations to create something entirely new even as it refers constantly to old-school funk and hip-hop. On Echo Party's single uninterrupted track you'll hear vintage hip-hop basslines, 808 beats, and exuberant '80s-style rapping interspersed with weirdness like chopped-up Latin rhythms and shout-outs to New York boroughs and zodiac signs. Too often projects like this end up coming across as overly reverential, but Portnoy strikes a healthy balance between loving respect and creative destruction. You'll hear kazoos and glockenspiels, and you'll hear classic funk being folded, spindled, and mutilated and coming out sounding like nothing you've ever heard before. Echo Party ends up being that rarest of commodities: a party record equally suited to the under 20 and over 40 crowds. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi

The future predictions of world renowned highly intellectual divine seers

Ordinarily there is belief prevalent that man himself is the author of his destiny and future situations. Whatever actions we perform today will be seen as reactions in the form of future situations. On this basis in the present tense we can predict the future.

But in this world are born such divine seers who well in advance have the capacity to see, understand and predict the results of collective actions performed by world humanity. Of course not on the basis of ‘Falit Jyotish (Astrology)' but via subtle powers of spirituality many special humans possess such capabilities that can see future events clearly. In order to reform and instill balance in today's world scattered and distorted situations the Divine Authority time and again makes special arrangements. On seeing the direction and flow of this Divine Inspiration we can understand that how the wheel of situations will move in future times. Spiritual seers imbued with soul power well in advance understand these future possibilities. These great seers keep the knowledge of a few of these future predictions to themselves and the rest are shared with the world so that people are timely warned to change themselves as per situations that manifest.

Today a lot of movements are noted in the subtle world with reference to changing of times and neo creation of world humanity and the entire world itself. In the past, clouds of distortions have appeared due to worldwide unethical activities and irrationality. Its reaction in future will be seen as bitter ferocious situations. Almighty Lord is in no mood to see his beloved prince that is man and his supreme creation that is this world get destroyed just like that. In order to balance it Lord Mahakal's controlling management is at work. It is indeed our good fortune that even today there dwell on earth such subtle seers imbued with gigantic soul power who can understand this intense movement of the subtle world along with their reactions, situations, directions and future possibilities. Over here we will list out the future predicted by a few great seers. Time and again their predictions have come true 99% times. Whatever maybe the basis of their prediction but yet it is a fact that when tested minutely they have proved to be correct. On this very basis we must place faith in their other predictions too which will be proved correct at the appointed hour.

What will happen in future? This is not mere curiosity but is very useful too. If we come to know that which will definitely take place in future man will avoid opposing it and thus save his energy. Further by working in tandem with future happenings and can imbibe a comfortable mode of working so as to benefit from the ease and success attained via flowing in an apt direction.

How and in what direction is the future of the human race and the entire world being created? This glimpse can be got from the above predictions. They are all very useful for us. The way today's rotting social frame and thinking/behavior of world humanity is changing can be understood from these predictions.

A small beginning has already been made by the organization called ‘Yuga Nirman Yojana' regarding Era Transformation and Neo Creation. On the face of it this movement seems very miniscule yet behind it which principles of the subtle world are at work and how will it evolve in a cosmic manner can be glimpsed in the above predictions. Those hands that have directed this program is today being looked upon merely as an individual human being. But when we delve deep into this future predictions we realize that this so called ordinary human being is actually a divine messenger and prophet of a New Era. If we conjoin the activities of  ‘Yuga Nirman Yojana' and the personality and mission of its founder Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya to these predictions we can conclude that this program and personality that appears very minute is akin to a tiny seed which in a few years shall play the role of a gigantic tree.

All these seers are such that it is possible that they have hardly heard about the ‘Yuga Nirman Yojana' and its director. In the subtle world they saw and interpreted situations via their divine vision and made predictions accordingly. If we cogitate deeply these predictions regarding Era Transformation most optimally applies to ‘Yuga Nirman Yojana' and regarding the method of manifesting Era Transformation, a Divine Messenger has been spoken of. This messenger can be none other than Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya. If this is actually true we will have to say that all of us thousands of individuals have failed to understand the greatness of this movement and its founder.

The time has arrived to understand the nature of future transformations and by working in tandem with it we must understand the Bhagiratha like effort of that prophet full of austerities and as per his directions and teachings we daringly take gigantic steps forward. In it lies our farsightedness and wisdom.

Time and again we have published predictions made by world renowned, honest and self realized divine seers in the ‘Akhand Jyoti' magazine hence to a great extent we can call them trustworthy. Within them predominate Saint Prananath, John Melard, Orechard, Maharshi Aurobindo, Gopinath shastri Chulet, Mahatma Vishwaranjan Brahmachari, Romain Roland, Cheiro, Variska Silvigar, Anandacharya, Jean Dixon, Anderson, Gerard Chrisey, Arthur Charles Clarke, Prof Harare, Jules Berne, Paramhans Rajnarayan Pattashastri, Kedardatta Joshi, George Baveri, Paraselsus, Daniel, Nostradamus, Father Walter Wayne and others. From amongst these we will give the gist of a few predictions.

Mahatma Prananathji, the Guru of the glorious emperor Chatrasal has made predictions of Era Transformation and the manifestation of an Avatar in the following poetic meter:

Vijayabhinandan Buddha ji aur nishkalank it aay.

Mukti desi saban ko met sabay asuray.

Ek srishti ghani bhajan ekay ek jnana ek ahar.

Cchod bair miley sab pyar so bhaya sakal main jay jaykar.

Akshar ke do chashmein nahasi nor nazar.

Visa so barsay kayam hosi bairat sacharachar.

The editor of ‘Healing Life' Father John Melard too while agreeing with the manifestion of Era Transformation and appearance of a Divine Messenger writes:

Today world problems are so complex that it cannot be solved by a human intellect or power. World peace is beyond the capacity of human beings. Despite this there is no need to despair because such indications have been noted wherein they say that God has arrived on earth and along with the power of his aides is setting about establishing a New Era. We can say he is definitely an Avatar after gauging his intellectual and soul power. This world transformer cannot remain hidden behind a veil for long.

W E Orechard while elucidating his opinion too writes:

Israelis are waiting for the manifestation of Almighty God in this world but know for sure he has already arrived and not only will their own grief but the strife of entire world will end. God never allows evil, injustice, atrocities etc to reside in this world. Today these distortions have risen so alarmingly that God will perforce manifest in this world.

The well known Indian Mahayogi and one who for his entire lifetime lit the torch of spirituality Shri Aurobindo was imbued with Extrasensory Powers (ESP). He would warn his disciples that miracle like predicting future events was an obstacle on the path of Self realization. Hence he did not predict the future much. And yet he made certain predictions which imbued his followers with power of endurance and energy. In the year 1939 he had said:

In 8 years India will gain political freedom. And yet very shortly India will be partitioned into 2 countries. Both these predictions came true.

Regarding Era Transformation his prediction is very important wherein once he told Mother Yajna Shikha in a blissful tone:

Divine inspirations are shooting forth in my psyche saying India's glorious state is definitely going to manifest. Some people are trying to force India to imbibe the western culture but I have full faith that a movement will commence in India which by destroying its demonic elements will give it a new direction of righteousness and will thus augment this country's glory. This movement will help re manifest Satyuga or Golden Era the world over that will ooze with peace and joy.

Mahatma Vishwaranjan Brahmachari while predicting that Shastriji will become India's Prime Minister had also said sadly:

Shastriji will remain Prime Minister for a short time span only and that he will die outside India. After that a woman Prime Minister of India will be elected. In these days widespread rise and fall will be seen but the most important event in it will be a great spiritual and religious revolution in this country. Although this revolution shall have its center in central India yet it will influence every nook and corner of India. The director of this new revolution will get the credit of binding North and South India culturally. In a few years India shall establish new ideals which will be imbibed by entire world humanity. People while voluntarily giving up taints will imbibe great qualities instead. In future people instead of competing for money and status in society will instead yearn for honesty, integrity, philanthropy, selfless world service, hard work and enterprise.

We must remember that Shri Brahmachariji had predicted heavy floods in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Many of his other predictions encompass the fact even India would have to face either heavy flooding or intense earthquakes. It will also have to face united war against Pakistan and China. Despite all this India will keep progressing. Further in future it will get more recognition than America and Russia. It will be India who will get credit for saving the world from another world war.

One day Barar's scholarly astrologer Gopinath Shastri Chulet with his divine sight saw that the creator of a New Era in this world has already taken birth and that Era Transformation is a surety. On the very same day, at the same time yet far away from that place his father who was a great orator of Shrimad Bhagwat and who was well known in every household of Barar heard this very divine prediction. Both father and son via letters posted to each other spoke of this same premonition and what was more astounding is that both father and son saw the same divine scene of future at the same time.

Shri Shastriji had predicted that India will gain political freedom between the years 1945 and 1950. This later was proved true. Ten years previously itself he had predicted Gandhiji's death which also was correct. He had said that in 1970 someone from America will circumambulate moon. This he had predicted in ‘Kalivarjya Prakaran' while writing that we must not circumambulate earth. He further elaborated that Indian air planes right since ancient times have already circumambulated earth and other planets. All this will be seen very soon whereas in 1970 an American citizen will land on moon. Hence even we Indians must research into space travel. His other predictions like attack by China too have come true. He had faith in his Extrasensory Powers yet he would not believe all these immediately. At that very time (5/9/1926) he etched out an astrological chart of middle times. Tula of Lagna was conjoined to high stature Shani; in Parakram area was high stature Ketu; Guru was in Mukh; in 7th house was Swagrahi Mangal and conjoined to Shukra which tells us that modern science and a new religion will be established. In Labh Bhava there is Buddha conjoined to Swagrahi Surya which tells us that wealth and grandeur will augment in India. This Lagna reminds us of the Janma Lagna of Lord Krishna and Lord Rama and tells us that definitely an incarnation of God/Avatar has already manifested on earth for establishing righteousness even if this will be accepted by people the world over only much later.

On getting this thought he wrote a book called ‘Era Transformation' which was published in Akola (Maharasthra). In this book on the basis of astrological calculations he wrote that Era Transformation will commence in Pausha Krishna 30 Samvant 1981. As of now is the era junction period. In it the dark age of past will end and the dawn of a New Era will commence. On the one hand this time period is full of upheavals for India yet it also shows signs of great success, grandeur and leadership. In future this country will lead over all other nations as far as knowledge and science are concerned.

The time calculation of eras was made on the basis of mathematics principles of astrology. All scholars of India accepted them as correct and this book had mass appeal. On the one hand in this book a scholarly argument has been aimed against illusory beliefs harbored by Indians of blind faith yet light has also been thrown on the nature of knowledge revolution that would take place in future. He writes:

In this land of India a gigantic revolution will occur. As a result of this-

1)      The method of education will change drastically. Today people study so as to get jobs. But in future such a trend of education will set in wherein people will not study for jobs but will sympathize with servants and lower strata of society.

2)      The nature of God devotion instead of being restricted to using rosaries and chanting Mantras will devote itself to serving poor poverty stricken people.

3)      People will yearn for world welfare service instead of Moksha or salvation.

4)      People will abhor lawyers and attorneys. Science will spread out its research in fields like geology, chemicals, Yantras, mineral-ores, magnetism etc under the leadership of India.

5)      Faith will deepen in true religion and soul sciences.

6)      Various caste divisions shall now come under 4 major categories only. Caste based narrow mindedness will end and its positive influence will be noted in eating, resting, traditions etc.

7)      Vedic Science will spread all over the world.

8)      The basis of a constitution will be as per Smritis written by Manu and Yajnavalkya.

9)      Widow re marriage will not be looked upon as against scriptural injunctions.

10)  People will harbor faith in congregational power.

11)  Instead of building temples of God temples of broken families will be built so as to rehabilitate them. True temples will work for awakening world humanity.

12)  A lot of love, affection and goodwill shall augment in families.

13)  Indians shall design such planes that shall emit no smoke. Fire, wind, rain, sun etc shall work as per mankind's wishes. The science that establishes contact with dead people shall evolve further.

14)  In every region one will find laboratories and industries blooming forth.

If era transformation presents itself as a historical event of this century it must not be looked upon as amazing. Thought revolution and that too on the basis of a gigantic organization has been accepted by many high stature seers. These sorts of predictions will be given in the following pages from which it is clear that the manifestation of such an era is not far away wherein the world will live joyously on ideals of love, friendship, equality and human values.

Divine seer Romain Roland writes:

I have faith that a major portion of white civilization along with its good bad qualities will get destroyed and then a new civilization will take birth. In clear words Romain Roland has spoken of this new culture as belonging to India and has said that in future Indian culture and religion will be established as a world religion, and world culture. A new world society will be created. I have no worry of life getting tainted. Western countries do not harbor faith regarding immortality of the soul but I do believe in it. Those people who are today being born in western countries and are being influenced by western culture will certainly have to face ferocious hardships.

The famous seer Prof Cheiro too speaks of destruction of white community, end of Muslim civilization, the birth of a new civilization and the ushering in of a new religion. While accepting that planetary position calculations as true he writes:

When sun enters Aquarius an intense influence is seen because its planets are Uranus and Saturn. The ancient knower of this secret science believes this to be the sacred dawn of a New Era. On the one hand Saturn executes destructive activities. Due to the influence of Uranus ancient laws and rules undergo total transformation. The sun enters Aquarius and thus gigantic movements, changes and revolutions are witnessed. This is the creator planet of a New Era. Due to its influence women appear in a new form.

All these situations can be clearly seen today. Even in very traditional countries like Iran, Turkey, Arabia and Jordan women have attained the right to lead a freedom oriented social life just like their male counterparts. Sun has entered Aquarius. All planets have gathered together and hence a New Era will definitely manifest. In it instead of the old culture a divine culture will reign henceforth.

Hungary's world renowned lady astrologer Boriska Silvigar predicted thus:

India's glory shall manifest as a high stature world power but in order to attain it India will have to struggle a lot. On the face of it this situation will appear agonizing yet in this country a messenger of God will appear who by gathering thousands of laymen will imbue them with so much valor that these laymen will combat so called materialistic people and will prove the latter's beliefs as deluding. After this straightforward honest people will lead the world and peace will start creeping into every nook and corner of the globe. In those days fraud, murders and looting will rise alarmingly hence only after gigantic struggle human values will get the nod. Know for sure that this transformation will last very long. Till the year 2000 its signs will be noted. After this the world will ooze with true love, compassion, honesty, charity, goodwill and brotherhood.

Boriska is that very lady who was challenged by an English officer saying that England would never allow India to get political freedom. Despite this Boriska gently smiled and said: After 1944 no authority on earth can induce India to continue living as slaves to foreign rule. India's fate shall henceforth shine and it is the religious people of India who shall lay down the path of world peace.

Such proof can be found in the Holy Bible too. While commenting on Mathew 24 and Revelation Chapter 6 the famous futurist and saint Father Baxter writes:

A man has appeared seated on a horse with a sword in his hand. The meaning of the sword in hand is that such a great person has taken birth that shall revolutionize the world and in order that people lean towards righteousness he will imbue them with sacred powerful thinking. Those times can be identified by the fact that weapons will become very costly, people's habits will veer towards sinning and the body will weaken. The god of death will help diminish the rising world population via wars, epidemics, famines and so on. Natural calamities shall rise alarmingly, the movements of sun/moon/various planets will prove to be very perilous for world humanity and at that time such a power will take birth that shall lead the world towards peace and human values.

There is no difference if you compare today's situations to those mentioned in the Holy Bible. Hence it is not erroneous to say that an Avatar will be born to establish a New Era in this world. Between destruction and struggle the sun of a New Era is smiling. Know for sure, this is that very historic hour. None has the power to obstruct Lord Mahakal's eternal world management.

Anandacharya was none other than Surendranath Baral born in Bengal in 1883. He gave up the post of a professor in Kolkata University so as to walk on the spiritual path while settling down in Norway. He performed penance over there and published many books. He was the first person to say in 1910 that after 4 years people should ready themselves for a 1st world war. In the last days of July due to a very common incident war commenced and later all those countries that had tension filled relationships with each other jumped into this war. This war will continue till November 1918 and when the war shall end world politics will get centered at one place. Such an organization will be born which shall have majority of world nations as its members. But in place of truth and integrity since diplomacy will prevail, people will not accept much of their decisions.

At that time not many paid heed to these predictions but when it came true later people started accepting their factual nature. At that time a group of journalists of Britain met Anandacharya and requested the latter to throw light on future world situations. At that time he said: very soon you must again ready yourselves for a 2nd world war. In it Germany's Hitler will predominate and thousands of people will die in a few moments. Only later will peace be established.

After a few years of this prediction Germany attacked Poland in September 1939 and after this war flames burned more terrifically. Thus a 2nd world war set in. In this very war at the dawn of 6th August 1945 atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan wherein more than 0.1 million people died a horrific death.

According to Anandacharya as per an important portion of his prediction 24 years before the 3rd world war and 24 years after it India will pass through times of great upheaval. The first 24 years will be in the form of 24 years after Mahabharat War and the final 24 years will be the dawn of a New Era. I will give up my body very shortly after my country India attains political freedom yet others will see what kind of changes usher in after succeeding in the freedom struggle.

In my country religion will become all pervasive in the form of an organized institution. It will take birth immediately when India attains independence but after 24 years in 1971 it will become a very powerful organization and will be well accepted all over India. On the one hand widespread upheaval will be witnessed in world politics and in Indian politics will predominate actively. That organization which will manifest as religious/righteous uplifting will also get ready a new map of world welfare tasks. The founder and director of this organization will be a householder and will gain renown as one of the greatest thinkers in the annals of world history. This person will design a code of ethics regarding social responsibilities of world humans and also as to how world peace will set in. If all his life's thoughts are collected and published in a book, the latter will weigh about 100 pounds. At that time people will amazingly marvel that in this material era how useful are these thoughts? But when widespread world hardships are witnessed materialism will get a new direction of thinking through this code of conduct and ethics and hence the latter will be worshiped just as we worship the Holy Bible, Vedas and so on. Today we see people veering away towards material progress only but know for sure that later a time will come when spiritual principles like salvation, soul, God etc will reign in the psyche of world humans. That situation which India faced after the Mahabharat War will be seen to positively transform after the 3rd world war and it will be well managed by this new religious organization.

The American future lady seer Jean Dixon is world famous for her predictions. Till today virtually all of her predictions have come true. In her predictions we get glimpses of world transformations that will be witnessed in future. One of her predictions is as follows:

In one country of Asia, most probably India, a great soul has already taken birth in a rural family who will direct, control, manage a great spiritual revolution. Behind him will be the collective power of other active souls that will transform today's world tainted situations.

In the same way another American futurist Anderson says that on the one hand where destructive situations are there in the world, despots are ruling the world there a Divine Messenger of God is working for world neo creation. According to him:

A person born in a small village in India has spiritually influenced not only India but the entire world. This person will become the greatest prophet in world history. He alone shall have so much congregational force that even the most powerful country of the world does not possess. He will create a human constitution that will be applied to the entire world wherein the world will have one language, one world nation, one international court of justice and one world flag. Due to the influence of this great effort world humans will compete with each other to imbibe more and more of self control, goodwill, justice, ethics, sacrifice and generosity. The headlines of leading newspaper will publish topics like selfless service, renunciation, enterprise and true philanthropy. On reading this people everywhere will be greatly inspired to work for everyone's well being. Murders, looting, robbery, fraud, crimes and scams will end once and for all. Till the year 1999 the entire world will positively transform and then for thousands of years life the world over will reign in peace and joy.

He further opined that today this world that cannot even imagine the true nature of religion and culture will witness that this religion will speedily spread out everywhere in the world. This culture and religion will be that of India and this prophet too will be an Indian who today is busy laying the firm foundation of the future world revolution.

A similar prophecy has been made by Holland's world renowned futurist Gerard Chrisey. He says:

I am seeing that in a very ancient land of the east (India) where serpents and sages are worshiped, there people do not eat meat, have faith in God, their women are loyal to their husbands and that they never divorce. People of this land are true, honest and straightforward. From there I see a holy light rising high. Over there a great saint has taken birth and shall make programs for world welfare. In between a lot of upheaval will be seen the world over, ferocious wars shall be fought wherein certain country's will get destroyed, air accidents shall be on the rise so alarmingly that very few will travel by air planes. Behind this saint thousands will be at work, mainly women. All these people will congregate and by lighting fire will offer fragrant materials to it (Yajnas) so as to experience joy. Its smoke will ward off pollution in the air. World humanity will pay heed to whatever they have to say. All political leaders perforce will have to gather on one dais. All this will be seen by the end of the 20th century and then the entire world will experience a sense of unity and brotherhood. Everywhere peace and friendship shall multiply. No violence will take place and oppression, lies, frauds etc will no longer be allowed to rule. The harshest punishment will be meted out to those who are wicked, full of tainted activities and harass women sexually. People will drink more milk, the harvest of flowers/fruits will increase manifold and the world will radiate beauty.

If in a certain region a very minor court case is fought people will start wondering as to who that person is in this world that harbors hatred and criminal leanings in his/her psyche. At that time there will be no caste or creed based disparity and men and women will enjoy equal rights. This earth will predominate with one religion and that is the religion of human values. Today people of the world have established the United Nation's Organization (UNO) but in future the entire cosmos will congregate into an organization called the United Planetary Organization. Its capital will be planet earth. It is possible that this capital will be Mars, Jupiter, Mercury etc it is definite that the boundaries of humanity that are so limited will become more widespread and infinite in nature in future. That day is not far away when akin to villages collecting to form regions, regions collecting to form states, states collecting to form countries and countries collecting to form planets, various planets of the cosmos too will establish a bond of friendship with each other.

The above words have been uttered by the famous American futurist Arthur Charles Clark who while accepting the internationally known Culling Prize had given those prophecies very confidently which proved to come true later.

When Charles Clarke was very young itself, Extrasensory Powers and prophecies manifested in his psyche. He would say: man is not this physical body but is energy in nature. This energy exudes light, brilliance and all those potentials which man yearns to attain from God. This energy of the human psyche is latent as of now yet I see that:

From a country of Asia (India) very soon an intense thought revolution will usher in. this will echo in India by 1971 and 10 years later in the entire world in such a way that man's latent psyche will perforce awaken. Today those energies which are totally ignored by everyone will in future become a topic of research and experience for people the world over. Science will take up a new direction which will ooze with spiritual principles. The substratum that shall bind the entire cosmos like many pearls strung in one string will be these spiritual energies or Sidhis and divine powers.

Prof Harare was respected as a great religious saint. His prophecies always came true. According to him:

In the 1st half of night when I am in deep sleep a divine person appears in my dream. This Yogi seated near a waterway has a half moon at the point where both his eyebrows meet. His hair is white, his clothes too are white, his skin is fair and he wears shoes that are not made of leather. Surrounding him is a crowd of other saintly people. In the center is a brilliantly burning pyre. These people chant something and offer certain materials to this fire. The atmosphere becomes cloudy with its smoke. World humanity is running towards these people. Amongst them so many are facing hardships, are physically challenged and lack material wealth. This divine person is preaching to all of them by imbuing their psyche with joy and warding off their strife. People forgetting hatred and enmity are mixing with each other like brothers and sisters. Heavenly joy is being showered on them. Slowly this radiant light is heading towards north and is shining like the brilliant sun on some mountain top. The rays of this light gather like rain water clouds and covers entire planet earth with its brilliance. At this point my dream ends.

These utterances are of the world renowned seer Prof Harare which he had spoken in a debate titled ‘A New Era shall arrive' and its details were published in a magazine called ‘West Mirror'. Prof Harare was born in Israel in a religious Jew family. He was well appreciated in Europe and North Africa for his prophecies that were 100 percent true akin to Anderson and Jean Dixon attaining fame in America, Cheiro in England and Varah Mihir in India.

When people questioned him regarding the above dream Prof Harare said that the dream that I see in the morning generally came true in a few days. Those dreams that I see in the middle of night prove to be true in a year both those dreams that I see in the 1st part of night come true after a few years. Regarding the above dream I harbor a few thoughts as follows:

Such a divine person has taken birth in India who will be responsible for laying down the foundation of a spiritual revolution by the year 1970 without getting world renown for it. But later his influential leadership will spread not only in Asia but in the entire world. His thinking will ooze so much with human values and farsightedness that the entire world will perforce listen to him. When science shall destroy religion and culture in the entire world, at that time this person shall direct a religious revolution and akin to  before Christ's birth people shall realize the importance of worshiping natural elements like water, fire, earth etc.

The famous French author Dr Jules Berne says:

 The most powerful personality of world history has already taken birth. Very soon he shall transform the entire world. A knowledge revolution will usher in and like ferocious storms it will cover the entire world.

Regarding future transformations he opines:

As per what I see a spiritual revolution shall commence from India. Regarding its management I differ with Jean Dixon in the sense that this person has already taken birth before 1962. At the present moment he must be involved in a major task in India. This divine person will be involved in the struggle for India's independence and he shall have many followers. These followers shall form a powerful organization and very soon shall positively influence the entire world. Transformations that appear impossible today will very soon succeed easily via their soul power. This transformation shall be the foundation of world peace to be witnessed in future.

In reality it's a fact that whenever a prophet or Avatar has manifested on earth, very few people have recognized them in those times. Only after they shed their mortal coil did people realize their divine personalities. Regarding this a few decades back in 1939 in Uttarakhand (India) a debate took place amongst saints and sages. The topic was whether those situations have already arrived wherein an Avatar manifests in this world based on planetary positions and calculations? In it a detailed discussion took place regarding the Nishkalank or Taintless Avatar and it was concluded that Lord Kalki has already manifested. The problem was that many famous saints and sages proclaimed that they themselves were Lord Kalki. Hence what should be done? How does one identify the real Lord Kalki? Regarding this some special qualities were demarcated and was decided that anyone possessing these qualities is the true Lord Kalki. This saintly gathering published a small book titled ‘Kalki Avatar' and distributed the same all over the country. This would help many avoid getting entangled in illusory ‘Lord Kalkis' so as to identify the real one and thus help in that Avatar's mission of world neo creation. A few notes from this book:

Lord Kalki will be the leader of a very powerful organization whatever he says and decides on a code of ethics regarding Almighty God and world individuals will be accepted by rationalists and literate people too. He will be the super scientist amongst all world scientists and he will unfold the mysteries of religion and the soul.

On the forehead of this divine person will be seen V shaped moon between the eyebrows. On his throat will be a symbol of half moon conjoined as 2 lines. He will wear Indian clothing. His nature will be innocent as a child, daring as soldiers, youthful all his life like Ashwini Kumaras and a great scholar of Vedas and various scriptures. His father will inspire him to undergo Yoga practices. In his life 24 alphabets will have great importance. Within 24 years of age he shall enter high stature Yoga principles. He will chant a Mantra of 24 alphabets. He will be the 24th Avatar, he will perform penance for 24 years and in these austerities will encompass partial spiritual practices numbering 24 thousand, 2.4 million, 2.4 billion Japa etc. He will conduct a spiritual program of 2400 Yajnas.

According to Kedardutta Joshi:

The material stature of India will rise higher up. A power that shall uproot all vile thinking shall manifest. It will first take birth as a small organization but very soon it will spread the world over as a potent thought revolution.

Signs from subtle space and the above beliefs of astrology say that forces of neo creation and various positive situations have already come into existence with its powers and it is well beyond human strength and intellect to obstruct it.

George Baveri who was a great scholar and Tantric of Egypt's secret sciences had predicted that a soul who will give light to the world for ushering in the Golden Era or Satyuga has already taken birth in India but his mission shall fully evolve independently only around the year 1932. 14th September 1936 shall be the first day of this New Era. On this day that soul giving up his human garb shall manifest as an Avatar and then despite facing opposition from thousands of deluded people he will showcase his intense and terrific spiritual influence that shall perforce awaken the whole world. After 1965 people will fully perceive his high spiritual stature and after 1970 mainly in India he will be witnessed as an Avatar. Later India will also manage the entire world and will show the world the path to true peace and joy.

In Patna's (India) Khudabaksha Oriental Library there is a book written in Persian by Bukhara's famous saint Shahballi. In it is written:

The 3rd world war shall be very horrific. America will lead in it. China will be the 2nd unit. After this war the English shall get totally destroyed and India will become a super power. Of course, for this India will have to struggle a lot. On the face of it this situation shall be very painful but in this world a divine messenger shall arrive who by congregating thousands of lay persons shall imbue them with so much valor that these so called small time people shall challenge hard core materialists and shall prove the latter's thinking as illusory. After this straightforward honest people shall lead the world and peace and joy shall spread the world over.

Regarding this era's prophet and Nishkalank or Taintless Avatar South India's famous saint and futurist Raman Swami Iyer's utterances and prophecies are very clear. He writes:

Lord Kalki shall arrive neither seated on a horse nor with a sword in his hand and yet these 2 shall be symbols to identify the true Kalki Bhagwan. A horse symbolizes potent energy and the fact that Lord Kalki is seated on it means that he will be so powerful that all forces of the world shall act as per his directions. Lord Rama has used his divine energy to overcome the powerful demon Tantric Ravan. Lord Krishna was an Avatar because on noting his energy even the powerful Kauravas-Pandavas shivered in fear. It is the task of an Avatar to manifest his pure cosmic ego and he is identified by the fact that the most the mighty and highly intellectual person of the entire world pales in front of this Avatar. The meaning of horse over here is that he will be the most powerful person in the annals of world history.

The sword symbolizes cutting something. The heads of enemies are not cut off but that their vile thinking is attacked. In the Kalki Purana (Indian Mythology) it is said that Lord Kalki will fight intellectualism of those (Buddhists too) who today appear highly educated yet they fail miserably as far thinking about spirituality is concerned which is beyond rank materialism prevalent today. Only he shall be identified as Lord Kalki who shall attack the very erroneous beliefs atheism, sense titillation activities and hoarding of excess wealth the world over.

Shri Iyer has said that: Kalki shall be born near Mathura (India). The meaning of Sambhal is a village on the shores of Chambal River. His arena of activities will be in Mathura. His aides will come from various regions. He will be a great worshiper of Gayatri and knower of Savitri principle. He will be adept at cutting thoughts with thoughts. Only he will have the power to reinstate all those beliefs spread in world society. Many other people shall declare themselves to be Avatars. They may even exhibit a few miracles yet they will not be able to neo create anything. Thus like worms of rain they shall appear in our midst and very shortly get destroyed too. Whereas the great saintly Lord Kalki will formulate new thinking, transforming day to day living and rejuvenating Rishi literature. Later people will imbibe this glorious thinking. He will be a householder. Despite owning untold wealth his lifestyle will be very simple like an ordinary householder's life. His wealth shall be utilized strictly for world welfare tasks. His India based followers after imbibing his ideals shall form such a powerful organization that will help spread his sacred thoughts in every nook and corner of the world. Women will predominate in helping him spread his mission. This extraordinary nature miraculous person shall change residence towards the end of his life. At that time his Raudra or divinely terrific form shall manifest. When people will shiver on hearing his terrific thinking his saintly wife shall take over the reins of his divine mission. With her intense love and affection she will show the right path to all those who are straying. India will progress leaps and bound and it shall influence both Russia and USA. Both these countries will appear ordinary in front of India's grandeur.

Who shall get the credit of becoming Lord Kalki? Let us leave this decision to circumstances and future times. People have generally recognized people as Avatars during their lifetime itself so it is impossible that they cannot be identified. These Avatars may remain in hiding yet one day they will definitely be unearthed. What is definite today is that a divine authority that is about to transform this era has already incarnated. How is it possible that this Avatar will not manifest to fulfill his resolve of ‘Yada yada hi dharmasya, glanir bhavati bharata', Abhyuthanamadharmasya, tadatmanam srijamyaham'? Of course it is a different matter as to who will attain his divine love and blessings and who shall get crushed in his ire. Everyone shall perforce walk the path of world well being. Some may do this gladly and others may do so by compulsion.

All great futurists like Paracelsus, Daniel, Nostradamus, Vegelatin and Father Welter Ben prophesize that era transformation shall be the final and most powerful event in world history. None has the power to obstruct it. Following are some important prophecies of these great seers:

1. 1.      The entire world shall be governed from one center. There shall be only one world language and culture. The number of cities shall diminish. Means of communication shall evolve to such an extent that people will be able to transport their thoughts to others living elsewhere like wireless transmission.
2. 2.      The commencement of Satyuga or Golden Era with children less than 25 years old. When old people shall refuse to give up their old beliefs a great saint will be born in India who will set rolling a thought revolution the world over. Due to its influence thousands shall join him and yet those harboring old hard core beliefs shall shy away to give up their withered beliefs. At that time the younger generation shall imbibe apt thinking and thus help commence a New Era. People will be very optimistic. Fraud, scams, scandals and murders shall be totally replaced by love, compassion, sacrifice, honesty and charity and world brotherhood. Righteousness shall be reinstated and unrighteousness shall be totally rooted out. All this should take place by the year 2000 or there about.

As per the Bhrigu Samhita Shri Aseemananda writes:

Even this time the one who will uplift the entire world shall be a Sahasrar Chakra Sidha Mahayogi and like 24th Great Avatar Lord Buddha who akin to Lord Rama and Lord Krishna will be a devotee of Savitri Shakti or Divine Energy. With the power of his penance he will heal many diseases, will ward off the lack of many poor people, people will identify him by themselves and in order to serve him will work zealously. His helpers shall come from regions all over India and shall make efforts to tie everyone with the silken string of a single culture.

According to Shri Aseemanandaji when such a revolution shall manifest people from all over India and the entire world shall get attracted to it and only then shall a New Era manifest in this world. Although this hour shall appear soon yet the entire world till then shall face a lot of struggle and hardships. It can be to the extent that a major portion of the world's population gets destroyed during this struggle phase.

Today the world is full of vile activities. In order to fulfill political selfish interests so called thinking people are prone to act unjustly and unethically. Unruliness is on an alarming rise the world over. Right since ancient times those character based disciplines which were known to be sacred India's beauty are now being destroyed. Women who were piously looked upon as mothers are now lewdly and lustfully looked at. The Divine World Soul (God) can no longer endure all this. Yuga Nirman Yojana definitely is the divine wish of Lord Mahakal. Hence we all must see and understand whether those prophecies mentioned have a direct relationship to this or not? Even if it has an iota of truth then thinking and sacredly sensitive people, in order to fulfill this divine mission, must step forward. The above facts have been further strengthened by Nostradamus' prophecies too.

Nostradamus born in France was a very wise astrologer and seer of the extrasensory world. All his prophecies regarding Napoleon and Hitler have come true. Details of his prophecies can be read in a book called ‘Centuries and true prophecies of D Michael Nostradamus'. As per this book:

A world famous person shall take birth in a highly religious country of the world in the east. This person alone with the help of smaller aides shall cause a thought based upheaval in the world. This historical personality shall give birth to such a worldwide great struggle that in every home and region inner upheaval shall manifest. This great revolution shall take place at the end of the 20th century and start of the 21st century. Later everywhere in the world human values shall rule the roost. People will give up demonic qualities and the world will ooze with heavenly joy.

On the head of this extraordinary great saint of world history shall rest a moon, his mode of dressing shall be very simple and he shall have 2 daughters. Twice he shall change his residence and shall dwell in the north.

The proof of the above prophecy is that HH Gurudeva Pandit Shriram Sharma born in a small village (Anvalkheda) of an eastern country India ushered in such a religious revolution so as to set rolling a war between people's divine and demonic inner qualities. Small time social workers of All World Gayatri Parivar and Yuga Nirman Yojana by going far off countries have chanted aloud the Mantra of sacred inspirations in such a way that world humanity sheds all its demonic thinking and activities. Via many Ashwamedha Yajnas people not only in India but the world over are imbibing great thinking and activities. Our Gurudeva changed residence only twice and both times he resided in the north region.

In the above prophecies it appears as though the one who has prophesized it actually has visualized the details of our Gurudeva's family whereas this prophecy was made in the 16th century.

Buffalo Bill

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill)

Children

Four children, two of whom died young: Kit died of scarlet fever in April, 1876, and his daughter Orra died in 1880

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the American state of Iowa), near Le Claire. He was one of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, and mostly famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872.

Nickname and work life

William Frederick Cody ("Buffalo Bill") got his nickname after he undertook a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. The nickname originally referred to Bill Comstock. Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,860 American Bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eight months (186768). He and Comstock eventually competed in a shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won.

In addition to his documented service as a soldier during the Civil War and as Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry during the Plains Wars, Cody claimed to have worked many jobs, including as a trapper, bullwhacker, "Fifty-Niner" in Colorado, a Pony Express rider in 1860, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and even a hotel manager, but it's unclear which claims were factual and which were fabricated for purposes of publicity. He became world famous for his Wild West Shows.

Early years

William Cody at age 19

While giving an anti-slavery speech at the local trading post, his father so inflamed the supporters of slavery in the audience that they formed a mob and one of them stabbed him. Cody helped to drag his father to safety, although he never fully recovered from his injuries. The family was constantly persecuted by the supporters of slavery, forcing Isaac Cody to spend much of his time away from home. His enemies learned of a planned visit to his family and plotted to kill him on the way. Cody, despite his youth and the fact that he was ill, rode 30 miles (48 km) to warn his father. Cody's father died in 1857 from complications from his stabbing.

After his father's death, the Cody family suffered financial difficulties, and Cody, aged 11, took a job with a freight carrier as a "boy extra," riding up and down the length of a wagon train, delivering messages. From here, he joined Johnston's Army as an unofficial member of the scouts assigned to guide the Army to Utah to put down a falsely-reported rebellion by the Mormon population of Salt Lake City. According to Cody's account in Buffalo Bill's Own Story, the Utah War was where he first began his career as an "Indian fighter".

Presently the moon rose, dead ahead of me; and painted boldly across its face was the figure of an Indian. He wore this war-bonnet of the Sioux, at his shoulder was a rifle pointed at someone in the river-bottom 30 feet (9 m) below; in another second he would drop one of my friends. I raised my old muzzle-loader and fired. The figure collapsed, tumbled down the bank and landed with a splash in the water. 'What is it?' called McCarthy, as he hurried back. 'It's over there in the water,'. 'Hi!' he cried. 'Little Billy's killed an Indian all by himself!' So began my career as an Indian fighter.

At the age of 14, Cody was struck by gold fever, but on his way to the gold fields, he met an agent for the Pony Express. He signed with them and after building several way stations and corrals was given a job as a rider, which he kept until he was called home to his sick mother's bedside.

Military service

circa 1875

After his mother recovered Cody wished to enlist as a soldier, but was refused for his age. He began working with a United States freight caravan which delivered supplies to Fort Laramie. In 1863 he enlisted as a teamster with the rank of Private in Company H, 7th Kansas Cavalry and served until discharged in 1865.

From 1868 until 1872 Cody was employed as a scout by the United States Army. Part of this time he spent scouting for Indians, and the remainder was spent gathering and killing bison for them and the Kansas Pacific Railroad. In January 1872 Cody was a scout for Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia's highly publicized royal hunt.

Medal of Honor

Cody received a Medal of Honor in 1872 for "gallantry in action" while serving as a civilian scout for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. In 1917, the U.S.Congressfter revising the standards for award of the medalevoked 911 medals previously awarded either to civilians, or for actions that would not warrant a Medal of Honor under the new higher standards. After Dr. Mary Edwards Walker's medal was restored in 1977, other reviews began that led to Cody's medallong with those given to four other civilian scoutseing re-instated on June 12, 1989.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West

The Wild West Show, 1890

In December 1872 Cody traveled to Chicago to make his stage debut with friend Texas Jack Omohundro in The Scouts of the Prairie, one of the original Wild West shows produced by Ned Buntline. During the 1873-74 season, Cody and Omohundro invited their friend James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok to join them in a new play called Scouts of the Plains.

The troupe toured for ten years and his part typically included an 1876 incident at the Warbonnet Creek where he claimed to have scalped a Cheyenne warrior, purportedly in revenge for the death of George Armstrong Custer.

It was the age of great showmen and traveling entertainers. Cody put together a new traveling show based on both of those forms of entertainment. In 1883 in the area of North Platte, Nebraska he founded "Buffalo Bill's Wild West," (despite popular misconception, the word "show" was not a part of the title) a circus-like attraction that toured annually.

In 1893 the title was changed to "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World". The show began with a parade on horseback, with participants from horse-culture groups that included US and other military, American Indians, and performers from all over the world in their best attire. There were Turks, Gauchos, Arabs, Mongols and Georgians, among others, each showing their own distinctive horses and colorful costumes. Visitors to this spectacle could see main events, feats of skill, staged races, and sideshows. Many authentic western personalities were part of the show. For example Sitting Bull and a band of twenty braves appeared. Cody's headline performers were well known in their own right. People like Annie Oakley and her husband Frank Butler put on shooting exhibitions along with the likes of Gabriel Dumont. Buffalo Bill and his performers would re-enact the riding of the Pony Express, Indian attacks on wagon trains, and stagecoach robberies. The show typically ended with a melodramatic re-enactment of Custer's Last Stand in which Cody himself portrayed General Custer.

The profits from his show enabled him to purchase a 4,000-acre (16 km2) ranch near North Platte, Nebraska in 1886. Scout's Rest Ranch included an eighteen-room mansion and a large barn for winter storage of the show's livestock.

In 1887 he took the show to Britain in celebration of the Jubilee year of Queen Victoria. The show was staged in London before going on to Birmingham and then Salford near Manchester, where it stayed for five months. In 1889 the show toured Europe. In 1890 he met Pope Leo XIII. He set up an exhibition near the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, which greatly contributed to his popularity, and also vexed the promoters of the fair. As noted in The Devil in the White City, he had been rebuffed in his request to be part of the fair, so he set up shop just to the west of the fairgrounds, drawing many of their patrons away. Since his show was not part of the fair, he was not obligated to pay the promoters any royalties, which they could have used to temper their financial problems.

Irrigation

Larry McMurtry, along with some historians such as RL Wilson, asserts that at the turn of the 20th century Buffalo Bill Cody was the most recognizable celebrity on earth. And yet, despite all of the recognition and appreciation Cody's show brought for the Western and American Indian cultures, Buffalo Bill saw the American West change dramatically during his tumultuous life. Bison herds, which had once numbered in the millions, were now threatened with extinction. Railroads crossed the plains, barbed wire, and other types of fences divided the land for farmers and ranchers, and the once-threatening Indian tribes were now almost completely confined to reservations. Wyoming's resources of coal, oil and natural gas were beginning to be exploited towards the end of his life.

Even the Shoshone River was dammed for hydroelectric power as well as for irrigation. In 1897 and 1899 Cody and his associates acquired from the State of Wyoming the right to take water from the Shoshone River to irrigate about 169,000 acres (680 km2) of land in the Big Horn Basin. They began developing a canal to carry water diverted from the river, but their plans did not include a water storage reservoir. Cody and his associates were unable to raise sufficient capital to complete their plan. Early in 1903 they joined with the Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners in urging the federal government to step in and help with irrigation development in the valley.

The Shoshone Project became one of the first federal water development projects undertaken by the newly formed Reclamation Service, later to become known as the Bureau of Reclamation. After Reclamation took over the project in 1903, investigating engineers recommended constructing a dam on the Shoshone River in the canyon west of Cody.

Construction of the Shoshone Dam started in 1905, a year after the Shoshone Project was authorized. Almost three decades after its construction, the name of the dam and reservoir was changed to Buffalo Bill Dam by an act of Congress to honor Cody.

Life in Cody, Wyoming

In 1895, William Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the seat of Park County in northwestern Wyoming. The site where the community was established is now the Old Trail Town museum, which honors the traditions of Western life. Cody first passed through the region in the 1870s. He was so impressed by the development possibilities from irrigation, rich soil, grand scenery, hunting, and proximity to Yellowstone Park that he returned in the mid-1890s to start a town. He brought with him men whose names are still on street signs in Cody downtown area Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salsbury. The town was incorporated in 1901.

In November 1902, Cody opened the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody, a hotel named after his daughter. He envisioned a growing number of tourists coming to the town via the recently opened Burlington rail line. He expected that they would spend money at local business including the Irma Hotel. Cody also expected that they would proceed up the Cody Road along the North Fork of the Shoshone River to visit Yellowstone Park. To accommodate travelers along the Cody Road, Cody completed construction of the Wapiti Inn and Pahaska Tepee in 1905 and opened both to guests.

Cody also established the TE Ranch, which was located on the South Fork of the Shoshone River about thirty-five miles from Cody. When he acquired the TE property, he ordered the movement of Nebraska and South Dakota cattle to Wyoming. This new herd carried the TE brand. The late 1890s were relatively prosperous years for Buffalo Bill's Wild West and he used some of the profits to accumulate lands which were added to the TE holdings. Eventually Cody held around eight thousand acres (32 km) of private land for grazing operations and ran about a thousand head of cattle. He also operated a dude ranch, pack horse camping trips, and big game hunting business at and from the TE Ranch, on the South fork of the Shoshone River. In his spacious and comfortable ranch house he entertained notable guests from Europe and America.

Life in Staten Island, New York

Cody brought his "Wild West Show" to an area of Mariners Harbor called Erastina (named for Staten Island promoter Erastus Wiman) for two seasons from June to October in 1886 and again in 1887. During the winter of 1886, the show moved indoors to Madison Square Garden. His show, featuring Native Americans, trick riders, "the smallest cowboy" and sharpshooters (including Annie Oakley) is said to have drawn millions of visitors to the island.

His 1879 autobiography is titled The Life and Adventures of Buffalo Bill

Death

Buffalo Bill's grave on Lookout Mountain in Colorado.

William F. Cody died of kidney failure on January 10, 1917, surrounded by family and friends at his sister's house in Denver. Cody was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church the day before his death by Father Christopher Walsh of the Denver Cathedral. Upon the news of Cody's death, he received tributes from King George V of the United Kingdom, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Imperial Germany, and President Woodrow Wilson. His funeral was in Denver at the Elks Lodge Hall. Wyoming Governor John B. Kendrick, a friend of Cody's, led the funeral procession to the Elks Lodge.

Contrary to popular belief, Cody was not destitute, but his once great fortune had dwindled to under $100,000. Despite his request in an early will to be buried in Cody, Wyoming, a later will left his burial arrangements up to his wife Louisa. To this day, there is controversy as to where Cody should have been buried. According to the writer Larry McMurtry, Harry Tammen and Frederick Gilmer Bonfils of the Denver Post, who had strong-armed Cody into appearing in their Sells-Floto Circus, either "bullied or bamboozled the grieving Louisa" and had Cody buried in Colorado. This is consistent with an account by Gene Fowler, who wrote Cody's obituary for the Post under direction from Tammen and Bonfils.

On June 3, 1917, Cody was buried on Colorado's Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado, west of the city of Denver, on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, overlooking the Great Plains. His exact burial site was selected by his sister, Mrs. Mary Decker, while looking over the area accompanied by W.F.R. Mills, manager of the Denver Mountain Parks. In 1948 the Cody branch of the American Legion offered a reward for the 'return' of the body, so the Denver branch mounted a guard over the grave until a deeper shaft could be blasted into the rock.

Legacy

Buffalo Bill Cody in 1903

In contrast to his image and stereotype as a rough-hewn outdoorsman, Buffalo Bill pushed for the rights of American Indians and women. In addition, despite his history of killing bison, he supported their conservation by speaking out against hide-hunting and pushing for a hunting season.

Buffalo Bill became so well known and his exploits so well entrenched in American culture that his character has appeared in many literary works, as well as television shows and movies, and on two U.S. postage stamps. Westerns were very popular in the 1950s and 60s, and Buffalo Bill would make an appearance in many of them. As a character, he is in the very popular Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun, which was very successful both with Ethel Merman and more recently with Bernadette Peters in the lead role.

Having been a frontier scout who respected the natives, he was a staunch supporter of their rights. He employed many more natives than just Sitting Bull, feeling his show offered them a better life, calling them "the former foe, present friend, the American", and once said,

"Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government".

While in his shows the Indians were usually the "bad guys", attacking stagecoaches and wagon trains in order to be driven off by "heroic" cowboys and soldiers, Bill also had the wives and children of his Indian performers set up camp as they would in the homelands as part of the show, so that the paying public could see the human side of the "fierce warriors", that they were families like any other, just part of a different culture.

The city of Cody, Wyoming was founded in 1896 by Cody and some investors, and is named for him. It is the home of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. Fifty miles from Yellowstone National Park, it became a tourist magnet with many dignitaries and political leaders coming to hunt. Bill did indeed spend a great amount of time in Wyoming at his home in Cody. However, he also had a house in the town of North Platte, Nebraska and later built the Scout's Rest Ranch there where he came to be with his family between shows. This western Nebraska town is still home to "Nebraskaland Days," an annual festival including concerts and a large rodeo. The Scout's Rest Ranch in North Platte is both a museum, and a tourist destination for thousands of people every year.

Buffalo Bill became a hero of the Bills, a Congolese youth subculture of the late 1950s who idolized Western movies.

The nickname of the K.A.A. Gent football club in Ghent, Belgium is De Buffalo's (The Buffalos), which was adopted after the Wild West Show visited the area in the early 1900s.

In film and television

On television, his character has appeared on shows such as Bat Masterson and even Bonanza. His persona has been portrayed as anything from an elder statesman to a flamboyant, self-serving exhibitionist. Buffalo Bill has been portrayed in the movies and on television by: bill the buffalo
