When did Simon stop hosing?

I know this city thanks to the documentary Lost Worlds on The History Channel. It's hard to believe that The History Channel has fallen so much since that time. I grew up watching Mail Call, Dogfights and Universe. I saw the golden era and I remember they made a special schedule for the Beijing Olympics. I really miss Mail Call.

Mail Call and the Beijing Olympics schedule were lone exceptions, by then 85-90% of History Channel’s content had already been a pseud0-scientific sh*tshow for a while - they for sure have never aired anything history-related content that wasn’t a s3nsationalizing tr4shy/tacky rendition….which, given the channel name itself, makes them a complete (bad) joke.

LOL! Calling Deadwood a city is a bit of a stretch. It was a boom town. Here today, gone tomorrow. Cheers from Tennessee

As someone who grew up in the area, I can safely add that Deadwood has a reputation for being the Las Vegas of South Dakota even in the present day. There is a main strip that has multiple fancy casinos and hotels. My parents took me to Deadwood many times to watch my mom's favorite Elvis impersonator. And I've driven through Deadwood and the Deadwood Gulch many times in my travels though the Black Hills. It's a strange mix of historical and gaudy. This definitely gives the town a unique character. I'm not much of a Casino goer, I've always been more interested in the historical aspects of the town.

Fun facts: Brothels actually operated (illegally) in Deadwood all the way up to 1980! Gambling was reintroduced/legalized in 1989. The original Deadwood city limits are the only place in South Dakota it's legal gamble on table games or sports other than Indian reservations.

Gambling never stopped in Deadwood, it went underground (literally) into the abandoned Chinese opium dens below the streets. If you knew the right people you could get in.

One thing i love about American history, particularly the Wild West is how it's old enough to be essentially alien to us today but still close enough to relate to. Having access to film is amazing, that closeness to real history. Also we have literal records and letters, newspapers and such as well as the word of mouth. Fascinating period and people.

I think Deadwood got its name from what happened to Wild Bill whenever he was around Calamity Jane

I moved cross country a few years back and made a pit stop in deadwood. Definitely worth checking out.

Interesting, I read Swearengen died penniless and broke in SF but Denver makes more sense. Top10 shows of all time for me. I was so happy when they finally made the movie. They even brought back the same crew member to make it; camera, light, carps, audio, etc….

I grew up in Deadwood, we used to go to the top of my street and hike up into Mt. Moriah cemetery at night.

Hello from Huron South Dakota 😊

Jack Langrishe married Jeannette Allen who was a Great Great Aunt of mine. She was a Great Granddaughter of Ethan Allen of Revolutionary war fame. Jack and Jeannette moved around the West for some time before winding up in the Silver Valley in Idaho. He was the first Representative from Ward er I believe to the first Idaho State Legislature. He may have been involved with the Idaho Territorial legislature. Jeannette had a much younger brother or Nephew named Lester Allen my Great Grandmother's Brother. He was a participant in the Johnson County, Wyoming Range War on the side of the small ranchers. Interesting group in a very interesting time.

My thoughts as well from Dundee scotland

Video from the basement looking up?

As someone who lived in deadwood, its cool to see it on the channel. Also, as someone who has lived here a long time, people should know that almost everyone out here hates the Sioux. Not because they are native, but because they are just absolutely rude and mean people, if anything being racist themselves. Other Native American tribes/nations even hate them because of it as well as their history. The Sioux kicked other tribes out of the hills and plains, so the fact they complain about the US is kinda hypocritical. I will say though, the US is in no way justified for the blatant genocide of unarmed Native Americans. Sad to say, how the US handled the push west, was hitlers inspiration. So we have a very dark past but I just figured that I would share a first person view of things out here.

Enjoyed the video! For next time, "placer" (mining) rhymes with "passer," not "pacer." 🙂

The Natives didn't ignore the deadline. The deadline was in January, and it was impossible for them to travel at all in the dead of the Plains winter. The government did that deliberately.

It would be nice if you were to just tell the story without the “woke” digs about the those poor little indians being ripped off of their land,..Which of course if you do look into history they actually thought that nobody owned any land and it was for all….
