- Synopsis
- Deadwood, South Dakota, has been a source of American legend for over one hundred years. European exploration, Indian wars, gold booms and busts, frontier shootouts, and the natural beauty of the surrounding Black Hills have all captured by Americans and foreigners. This book recreates the town that would not die, with wide-open frontier life side by side with a most mercantile respectability, a town that assimilated all that its geography, gold, natural disasters, and the extremes of human behavior could throw in its way. Deadwood was a microcosm of the American frontier and the gold rush town. This history of Deadwood emphasizes the period, 1875-1925, with careful scrutiny of before and after. Deadwood was real. This book a comprehensiveness rarely found. The next best thing to having lived there...
