Buckskinner Rendezvous

started to dress to match the period of their rifles. Then they went on to recreate the entire lifestyle. At the Buckskinner Camp during Frontier Days you will find a Blacksmith working the forge, Bead Crafter, Looming Crafter, Leather good Vendor and a Tomahawk Arcade.

Commonly known as a historical reenactment group, Buckskinners portray the life and times of early colonial frontier men, women and children. Club members recreate the clothing and daily tools to mimic our nations early settlers from the 1700s up through the mid 1800s. Whether camping in a canvas tents and cooking over an open fire, or demonstrating skills of the early 1800s, club members give a brief glance into our country’s past.

Come visit these modern day Buckskinners that have the heart and soul of real pioneers, trappers and hunters. There will be knife and tomahawk throwing as well as many activities for children as well as adults. The Buckskinner camp is Free with your Frontier Days gate admission.

STEP INTO THE 1800’s

What’s a Rendezvous?

According to Wikipedia, “Rendezvous” was the name used for the annual meeting of mountain men and fur buyers during the Western fur trade era, where trappers would exchange beaver skins for supplies and goods they wanted. These events occurred between the early 1820s and the 1840s, coming to an end when the price of beaver skins fell due to changes in fashion.

A Buckskinner Rendezvous offers a chance to relive an earlier period in our history. Buckskinners are a loosely associated group of people who enjoy reliving the North American fur trade era. It was started by people who shot muzzle-loading firearms. They

Experience the life of the Buckskinner’s at the 2014 Frontier Days in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The encampment is complete with “Traders Row,” which fire the imagination of what it must have been like in that era. Entertainment, demonstrations, and seminars on a variety of “life as it was” skills which will give young and older a deeper appreciation of the challenges and dangers that were faced and overcome. Tomahawk and knife demonstration, mountain-man storytelling, and musicians are all part of this annual Buckskinner tradition at Frontier Days.

All of the Buckskinner’s dress in period costumes and play the part to give a real feel to the whole encampment, and as you explore your way through Traders Row, you have plenty of opportunity to bring home that special souvenir.

Fort Museum and Frontier Village

The Fort Museum and Frontier Village in Fort Dodge first opened in 1964, and was intended to help preserve early history of Fort Dodge and Northwest Iowa. Since then, it has become one of the Midwest’s top tourist attractions. The excitement and romance of the early days can be relieved and one can “experience the past” at today’s Fort Museum and Frontier Village.

The log stockade houses are one of the finest collections of military, Native American, and pioneer artifacts to be found in the Midwest, preserved in the Fort is the log cabin of Lewis Armistead from when he served as second in command at Fort Dodge. Armistead would later gain fame during the Civil War, when as a Confederate brigadier general he fell leading Pickett’s Charge at The Battle of Gettysburg.

That was the pivotal moment of the American Civil War. The museum’s Front Street uses original and replica buildings to demonstrate how pioneer settlers followed in the wake of their military to populate and cultivate the vast prairie. Twelve

buildings, brimming with furnishings and artifacts, provide insight into the daily pleasures and hardships of pioneer life. The Fort also displays the “Cardiff Giant”, which was involved in one of the biggest hoaxes in the country.

The Fort Museum is home to the Frontier Days celebration, Fort Dodge’s annual citywide celebration.

The Fort Museum and Frontier Village is located on Business Highway 20 in Fort Dodge.

It is open from Monday thru Saturday 9-5; Sunday 11-5 from April 26th through Oct. 11th, 2014. Admission for adults is $7, for students age 5-17 $3, and children 4 & under are admitted free. Individual and family season memberships are available at the admission desk. Guided group tours are available by appointment. The Museum is located 1/4 mile East of U.S. 169 in Fort Dodge on Kenyon Road (Business 20). For more information, contact the Fort Museum and Frontier Village, 1 Museum Road, Fort Dodge, IA 50501, or call (515) 573-4231.

Jay Clyde Band

The Cardiff Giant

This band is a combination of several guys who have played in many different bands, and have had many different experiences musically. They play everything from country and southern rock, to some of today’s hits on the radio. They love to have a good time, and welcome anyone who appreciates good music, and sippin’ on a cold one!

The Cardiff Giant was one of the most famous hoaxes in United States history. It was a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall "petrified man" uncovered on October 16, 1869 by workers digging a well in Cardiff, New York. The giant was the creation of a New York tobacconist named George Hull. Hull hired men to carve out a 10-foot long, 4.5-inch block of gypsum in Fort Dodge, Iowa, telling them it was intended for a monument to Abraham Lincoln in New York. He shipped the block to Chicago, where he hired Edward Burghardt, to carve it into the likeness of a man and swore him to secrecy. Various stains and acids were used to make the giant appear to be old and weathered, and the giant's surface was beaten with steel knitting needles embedded in a board to simulate pores.

Ghost Garrison Keeps Spirit of Early Soldiers Alive The Ghost Garrison brings alive the day-to-day life of

U.S. Army Troops who were actually stationed in Iowa in the mid 1800's. It provides a glimpse of a time when Iowa was still a territory, When the frontier was a real place, and the only Civil War was happening in Europe.

The Ghost Garrison was organized in 1977 and is made up of members from throughout Iowa.

It is incorporated as a not-for-profit educational organization and enjoys Federal tax exempt status. It's primary objective is the growth of general knowledge of early to mid-1800 U.S. military history, the Territory and State of Iowa. Emphasis is given to the early soldiers actually stationed in Iowa and the part these soldiers played in the protection, development, and social fabric of Iowa.

Richie Lee Richie Lee from Des Moines, Iowa and the youngest of four boys, was singing almost before he could talk and feeling the beat before he could walk. At the age of 7, he won a Buddy Holly look-alike/lip sync contest in Des Moines, Iowa sponsored by KJJY Radio. It was then, Richie knew that he wanted to be a performer. He loved performing in front of the audience and enjoyed the feeling he got while doing so. His interest in Buddy Holly began at the age of 6 after finding a cassette tape of his dad’s. When Richie first put the cassette in the tape player and cranked up the volume, he was like wow! Buddy Holly was a big influence, partly because Richie wore glasses since he was 3 and Buddy was a Rock & Roll star with glasses. This was the start of young Richie’s musical career.

He began taking guitar lessons at age 11 after his grandmother Edith, convinced his mom and dad to fulfill his need for music, and then started drums at the age of 12. It was just after four months of lessons that Richie started playing guitar in public, and when at the age of 12, he started playing professionally. At age 13, he cut his first CD “Richie Lee and the Fabulous 50’s”. Richie has performed on stage with Winter Dance Party drummer Carl Bunch, toured with Tommy Allsup, Jerry Naylor (lead singer of the Crickets), “That’ll Be the Day” famed backup singers the Tolletts, “That’ll Be the Day” famed bass player Larry Welborn, Buddy Holly’s niece Sherry Holly, Big Bopper Jr. and sang to the legendary “Peggy Sue” Gerron.

In 2002 he played with Bobby Vee & the Vee’s. It was in 2004 that Richie and his band were on the same billing as the Crickets, Buddy

Holly’s band. When 2005 came along, he then went to Green Bay, Wisconsin and performed a week with Stray Cats’ drummer Slim Jim Phantom.

By 2006, at the age of 16, Richie had already finished his second CD “Blue Jeans and a Boy’s Shirt”, which was the main song and written and originally performed by Glen Glenn in 1958, whom he met in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Richie has played with many Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bands & started his own band in 2003 at the age of 13 called “Richie Lee & the Fabulous 50’s”. They are constantly touring the mid-west and beyond.

He has traveled as far as Massachusetts, Colorado, Texas and Tennessee, just to name a few. In 2007, Richie got the opportunity to perform in place of Ritchie Valens, when Valens was inducted into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The family of Valens were present and they all joined in on “La Bamba”.

Richie was only 17, the same age as Ritchie Valens was when the plane crashed on February 3, 1959. Richie was presented with a gold record by the Valens family in 2009 at the 50th anniversary in Clear Lake, Iowa.

The music of the 1950’s is a huge part of Richie’s life. Besides Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he also pays tribute to Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Ricky Nelson, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Dion Dimucci, and many others. His father is a lyricist, and collaborates with Richie to write original songs that are not on CD yet, but will be in the near future.
