The banner A Girl of the Plains advertises a type of Wild West show, a popular form of entertainment that romanticized and often dramatized the American frontier experience in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These traveling spectacles typically featured reenactments of Exciting Border Life, Cowboy Pastimes, Stage Coach Hold-up, and Indian Warfare, often including Indigenous performers and white individuals portraying frontier characters. Such shows, exemplified by Buffalo Bill's Wild West, played a significant role in shaping public perception of the American West.
