of buffalo bill. maybe you don't know, but there is a third buffalo bill museum, it is in leclair, iowa. it is mostly focused on river aating, but it does have corner of mostly secondary materials related to buffalo bill. and it was in 1981, the same at that time. it was a reliquary. we like to say there was no interpretation, but really there was. it was in a section the visitors already knew buffalo bill. there was an implicit of narrative of the winning of the west. and what we mean by no interpretation, is that it was uncritical of that narrative. by 1986 this museum was reinstalled with contacts, what history did mean, it brought into focus indians, conflict. it introduced the concept of race. but those changes were driven by traveling exhibitions. so it wasn't just in this museum. in the first traveling museum that brought buffalo bill into focus was actually driven by art. peter, in concert with museums in new york and pittsburgh, put together in a commission called, buffalo bill and the wild w

-- with buffalo bill? why this famesons eluded captain jack could be due to their physical appearances. buffalo bill, according to some fairly tall was a man. above average height, possibly six-foot, 6'1". on the other hand, captain jack '3/4" tall. he walked with a limp as a result of wounds that he received during the civil war. jack did try to mitigate this by including in his first biography , who misleadingly described crawford as a tall, wiry man. while captain jack and buffalo bill both appeared on stage together, it was jack joining cody's p optical enterprise, the buffalo bill combination rather show.ack creating his own jack's stage partnership with infalo bill at it badly virginia -- and it badly in in 1877 city, nevada win crawford was playing the part of yellow hand in a combat scene staged and accidentally shot himself in the groin. jack blamed the mishap on cody's drunkenness and quit the show. that withuctive contemporary accounts reporting this event, most do not support .ack's version of

the other big-time novel, -- big dime novel is "buffalo bill's heart in gray" where buffalo jack wants to join the union army, even though he is a former confederate. he can't because it's not the northern uniform -- is not the northern army anymore. if the union. texas jack rescued cody, but now after the civil war, this is a reconciliationist piece -- they can be openly pards in gray in the army, in the post-civil war army. there are remnants of the union, north-south conflict even in the wild west show, the sergeant, the union veteran who is prominent. he is the one who presents the victoria when the wild west show goes overseas. there are union veterans. there are women's relief corps. the women's auxiliary organization takes part in the funeral, which we know now was in denver. i am willing to be converted. i have no dog in this fight. denver versus cody -- i'm sorry, i'm going to go with cody here. and they play the civil war song at cody's funeral, because it was cody's favorite song, evidently. i would argue cody's life story, cody's civil war was not straightforwardly reconcil

we are less an hour away from the first home preseason game against buffalo. it should be worth watching if just for a few eagles that are returning tonight. ducis rogers and jaime apody with a preview of tonight's match-up. >> hey rick, the former eagles, lesean mccoy is here and jordan matthews that was traded last week to the buffalo bills, he will not make the trip because of an injury. they take on the bills at 7:00. >> it's interesting to see shady here and people are excited to see him back at lincoln financial field, you look they are on the field behind us now. the starters should go a series or two. and they are pumped to be back in front of of the home town crowd. it's football debut in 2017. the first time since january 1st at lincoln financial field. >> i can feel it right now, it's going to be exciting and they will be roaring and put on a good show for them. >> a lot of energy and that is the great think about what we have going on great fans and great guys in the build that want to be successful and working hard. >> we want to get back to the h

here is the issue, buffalo bayou. i tried to grab a google image here to show you downtown houston area. i'll try to do animations on this to let you know exactly what we're dealing w first thing can you look at, this is major hyper, hyper 10 as it rolls through the area. this is where the addicks damage is located, right in this general vicinity, right in here. we're going to continue to watch that area. that's where they are releasing the water already. the bakers dam also flows in here. continue here, weather producer with nbc weather unit. this squiggly line, follow my finger, the buffalo bayou, this snakes east to population centers and into and through the downtown houston area. this is downtown houston area where my fingers where all the big buildings are. all the water released in addicks damage tomorrow and it's all going to flow into this river. piney point villages is located right about here. they saw 67 foot high water level on the buffalo bayou. that was 6 feet higher than previous record right here. the

they are going to try to maintain what is happening there, so you will not see a decrease in buffalo bayou, you will see the current level as it is today. if we get more rain downstream or if they get more water upstream, then that will probably change, but we are not anticipating any increase in flooding downstream buffalo bayou. there was a comment that some of the residents don't know where they live next to wild bayou, but if you live between i ten and west herman, that is buffalo bayou. those will be the neighborhood's challenge in the next couple of days. thank you, mayor. >> let me just say to you that this is a dynamic situation, and things could change, they could change by the hour, they could change literally by the day, this very dynamic, but as we get information, but i will tell you is that we will provide that information to you. i've asked them to quantify it. they do their modeling, and if at 12:00 there is a need to increase more, i want them to tell me that they are going to increase more. if they increase more, i want them to tell me if they are going to raise the

and those reservoirs unleashed the water into buffalo bay ou. they made the decision to start releasing that water. and increasing water level. basically saying in essence, the rain that is coming down, it is so much that us releasing this water really isn't going to make that huge of a difference comparatively but the alternative is having these da s s compromised in some ways or having the reservoir, some sort of failure. that's what they are trying to avoid but as we've been saying, we -- we're now at 108 feet, it was the capacity and it's just spilling over on the north side and officials admit they don't know what's going to happen here. >> they don't know -- >> just to explain to our viewers, the idea of releasing that water flow is it with go in the direction of the buffalo bayou while it was going towards downtown houston. it was not ideal but they had a sense if they release it into an existing waterway they estimate. you just interrupt when you have something going on there. >> reporter: no problem. again, i'm trying to go very -- >> g

how much water will that increase in buffalo bayou. they were still doing modelling and could not specify at that time, but the water is -- water in buffalo bayou is not going to go down soon. right now, it's steady, even with the release. the more they release, it could go up and could create additional problems, additional flooding. i'm asking them to quantify to give me additional information on that. we are scheduled to talk somewhere around noon. i do want to highlight that situation. they are releasing water, but it's a gradual release. they are indicating if they don't do it, if they hold back the water and it builds up, then it will be forced, it will go around attics and the situation will be exponentially worse. this is a gradual release. steve, you are more familiar, you want to speak to it more? >> thank you, mayor. yes, we were advised yesterday, they were going to discharge the water. generally, before a flood, what happens is the gates are closed so they can contain the water coming from upstream so the downstream floodi

they think it's from the buffalo bayou overflowing. some of the scenes over here, that this -- a lot of the neighborhoods are still heavily flood and not out of the woods yet. >> an important lesson. they thought they had seen the worst of it. then the water started to rise overnight after the rain stopped. brian todd in houston, give our guest to that family. we'll be right back. >>> the donations are pouring in to help those affected by hurricane harvey. andy scholes with the latest. >> j.j. watt wanted to raise $200,000. more than 50,000 people donating to his houston fund relief fund, now topping $5 million. the new goal is $6 million. >> over 50,000 people have donated to this thing. it's rising by the minute. every time you refresh the link, it goes up and up and up. thank you so much to everybody who has donated, to everybody who spread the word. it's incredible. the most difficult times seem to bring out the best in humanity. that's showing through right now so much. keep sharing. keep donating. whatever you can do, $5, $500, a

this is buffalo bayou. and i am surrounded by water. i don't know if you can see this, chris, but behind me, this is normally a walkway. this is normally a river, but it is about 1/5 the size of what you see now it has swollen to. the there's supposed to be an interstate and highway around me. it's closed. you can't see it, but there is a tree lying across the highway because that's how high this bayou had gotten. it brought trees with it. there's just no better illustration of what downtown houston is facing than all of this water. this is the area where the reservoirs are let out into. so they are trying to keep up with the more than 50 inches of rain, chris, that has fallen in this area. and as you can see, they can't keep up with. it has swollen over and bled onto highways and on ramps. those reservoirs are being emptied into buffalo bayou. we're watching. you can't see it right now but a city bus has been immobilized trying to cross the water and is bei being towed away by a tow truck. there are three mega shelters open in h the ci

i'm just on the other side of town by buffalo bayou, john. you heard first responders and city leaders talking about how water from that reservoir just west of us is getting released. well, that water is going to be coming down buffalo bayou, what you see behind me. now, here is the incredible, amazing thing about how water flows and how water rises and recedes and how quickly here in the city of houston. just yesterday i would have been completely submerged underwater if i were standing at this exact location, because this entire area, all the way to the street, was completely submerged in water, and right now you can see, this buffalo bayou is a raging river. it's way over its banks. but it is flowing in the right direction, john. in the way it's supposed to flow, towards the gulf of mexico. of course, the flow of this bayou, hope for people, the rain that's falling, not so much. because like you mentioned. we're expecting another 15 to 20 inches of rain. the ground is completely saturated. and, of course, bayous like these, even though i'm

of brotherly love matthews breaking a silence today saying it has been hard since being traded to buffalo matthew misses his friends like carson wentz, in fact, he has been regularly talking with eagles players and matthews who missed the pre season game at the link will be ready for buffalo but sounds like matthews wishes he was still playing for eagles. >> i see them everywhere else and you kind of want to because it's real you know, those are real friends that i had. it's hard you know we were real good friends so it was definitely something i have to kind of get over and kind of move on from it and i call the guys all the time and still in the groove and texting them and wishing them luck on the season. >> speaking of hard california has been a giant issue for the phillies and were 0-11 out in cali until the last two days and they salvaged the series thanks to a player you never heard of and finale in san francisco and getting a rug from pops and pedro deserves a big hug for this bottom second and ben is in trouble and buster posey busted at the plate and he is thrown out in his first

, flows right into buffalo buy you.ack of our neighborhood is right on the bayou. they were panicked, there was water in their house, they didn't know what to do. they decided to go to a neighbor's house and assess the situation, as did a lot of people. they thought the waters would recede. they said, well, let's just wait for the waters to go down. and it just kept getting worse all day. as time went on, the water just kept rising, and more and more of these bands of rain would come through, and there was a sense of panic in our neighborhood. by the time people started waking up and realizing what was going on in the back of the neighborhood along this bayou, it was need to see the neighborhood come together and people started bringing rafts and kayaks and blow-up air ma mattresses to help get people out. one story that comes to mind, there was a 93-year-old woman, we went and knocked on her door and begged and pleaded for her to come out. she said no, i'm staying here. she locked us out. wouldn't let us in her house.

and now we are living downtown right between both the wide oak bayou and the buffalo bayou. so i was fully aware we were at risks of rising waters. but this was beyond anything we could imagine. each day we'd get up and see that both of the bayous were rising and i could hardly keep up with the days, but certainly by saturday morning we could see it was getting serious. my wife didn't comprehend how quickly the waters were going to rise or to what degree. by sunday it was very evident that this thing was getting out of control. >> deion tell us about the work you've been doing, helping people who have been in similar situations. >> we're a little bit south of pike which is on the houston area known as the heights, and it's named so because it didn't flood or most of it didn't. but, we went out every day to just check on things and monitor what was going on with the rising waters and we carried around hopes and life jackets and extra supplies in case we did run into anybody that needed help. and throughout all of it, i took photographs and little video clips and you can see t

we are still going to see this buffalo bayou go up. it already is a record. it may be four feet above record before we're finally done. >> chris, i just checked center point energy, the power company in houston. 86,000 or somewhere around there, people without power. 2.3 million people still have power. these people that are going into these homes to rescue other people have to understand that that power may still be on. so there's another real danger there that the power is still on for 96% of houston, and the water is going up. >> the good-bad news. we'll be monitoring those numbers. the longer that water stands and the more wind you have that comes into it, the more you can have people losing power. you're right. it's a risk you go in there. but people are always trying to save lives. it's the beauty of the human condition. chad, thank you very much, we'll check back with you in a little bit. right now let's bring in colonel lars zedderstrung from the army corp of engineers in houston. thank you for joining us. the news about releasing in part some of the
