Deadwood SD

Deadwood SD started as a gold mining town in 1875. Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane were there for less than a year. She was not his girlfriend as she claimed. She died an alcoholic and asked to be buried next to Bill. Bill hardly knew the woman. There are several historic sites in town. The Mt Moriah cementary has several sections including civil war casualties. This is a very neat town to visit.
