CHEYENNE – Michael Guli stitches strips of buffalo hide into a pair of handmade moccasins.

His tools stretch out over the slightly-shaded red picnic table that has become his workshop for the week. The low-top moccasins will go home with a Missouri resident. The longer strips of dark brown next to his right elbow will become an ankle-high pair for a man from Italy.

Guli is busy preparing special orders, but he often invites guests into his makeshift office to learn about the clothing, characters and history of the Old West.

“It’s the ‘Daddy of ‘em All,’ and I specialize in the history of that time period,” he said. “Could you see me under the grandstands?”

The vendors inside the Wild Horse Gulch storefronts offer handmade clothing, hats and kettle korn instead of souvenir T- shirts, belt buckles and corn dogs
