The settlement of Deadwood began illegally in the 1870s on land which had been granted to American Indians in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie. The treaty had guaranteed ownership of the Black Hills to the Lakota people and land disputes were endemic, having reached the United States Supreme Court on several occasions. However, in 1874, Colonel George Armstrong Custer led an expedition into the Black Hills and announced the discovery of gold on French Creek near present-day Custer, South Dakota. This announcement triggered the Black Hills Gold Rush and gave rise to the new and lawless town of Deadwood, which quickly reached a population of around 5,000.
In early 1876, frontiersman Charlie Utter and his brother Steve led a wagon train to Deadwood containing what were deemed to be needed commodities to bolster business. The gamblers and prostitutes resulted in the establishment of several profitable ventures. Madame Mustache and Dirty Em were on the wagon train and set up shop in what was referred to as Deadwood Gulch.[] Demand for women was high and the business of prostitution proved to have a good market. Madam Dora DuFran would eventually become the most profitable brothel owner in Deadwood, closely followed by Madam Mollie Johnson.
Deadwood became known for its lawlessness, during which time murder was common and punishment for murders not always fair and impartial. The town attained further notoriety for the murder of gunman Wild Bill Hickok on August 2, 1876. Mount Moriah Cemetery is the final resting place of Hickok and Calamity Jane, as well as slightly less notable figures such as Seth Bullock. Hickok's murderer, Jack McCall, was prosecuted twice, despite the U.S. Constitution's prohibition against double jeopardy, because of a ruling that Deadwood was an illegal town in Indian Territory and thus lacked the jurisdiction to prosecute or acquit McCall. This decision moved McCall's trial to a Dakota Territory court (Indian Court), where he was found guilty of murder and hanged.
As the economy changed from gold panning to deep mining, Deadwood lost its rough and rowdy character and developed into a prosperous town. Beginning August 12, a smallpox epidemic swept through, with so many falling ill that tents were erected to quarantine the stricken.
In 1876, General George Crook pursued the Sioux Indians from the Battle of Little Big Horn on an expedition that ended in Deadwood in early September and is known as the Horsemeat March. The same month, businessman Tom Miller opened the Bella Union Saloon.
A saloon called the Gem Variety Theater, opened on April 7, 1877 by Al Swearengen who also controlled the opium trade. The saloon was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in 1879. It burned down again in 1899, causing Swearengen to leave the town.
The Homestake Mine in nearby Lead was established in October 1877. For years, it was the longest continuously operating gold mine in the United States. Gold mining operations ceased in 2002 but the mine is still open to tourists. On September 26, 1879, a fire devastated Deadwood, destroying more than three hundred buildings and consuming the belongings of many inhabitants. Many of the newly impoverished left town to start again.
Thomas Edison demonstrated the incandescent lamp in New Jersey in 1879. Judge Squire P. Romans took a gamble and founded the Pilcher Electric Light Company of Deadwood on September 17, 1883. He ordered an Edison dynamo, wiring and 15 incandescent lights with globes. After delays the equipment arrived without the globes. Romans had been advertising the event and decided to continue with the lighting, which was a success and the company grew. Deadwood had electricity less than four years after the invention, less than a year after commercial service was started in Roselle New Jersey and which was around the same time as much larger cities around the country.[]
A narrow-gauge railroad, the Deadwood Central Railroad, was founded by resident J.K.P. Miller and his associates in 1888, in order to serve their mining interests. The railroad was purchased by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in 1893. A portion of the railroad between Deadwood and Lead was electrified in 1902 for operation as an interurban passenger system, which operated until 1924. The railroad was abandoned in 1930, apart from a portion from Kirk to Fantail Junction, which was converted to standard gauge. The remaining section was abandoned by the successor Burlington Northern Railroad in 1984]
Some of the other early town residents and frequent visitors included Al Swearengen, E. B. Farnum, Charlie Utter, Sol Star, Martha Bullock, A. W. Merrick, Samuel Fields, Calamity Jane, Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy, the Reverend Henry Weston Smith, Aaron Dunn and Wild Bill Hickok.
Deadwood South Dakota | Cheap RV Living
Old Town Deadwood South Dakota was as beautiful as it was historic... after the snow passed on Memorial Day weekend. We camped at Fish N Fry Campground in the Black Hills of South Dakota, about 10 minutes from Old Town Deadwood and Mount Moriah Cemetery. We visited the Golden Nugget Salon, Mustang Sally's and a bunch of other notable Deadwood tourist attractions. All were awesome. We visited the salon where Wild Bill Hickok was murdered and grave sites of both he and Calamity Jane. It was the most peaceful and beautiful cemetery to walk around. Mount Moriah cemetery also has a birds eye view of Deadwood.
Fish N Fry Campground was awesome, and honors the Passport America (see notes on the Passport America app or website) and Good Sam discount.

Spearfish/Deadwood, SD - RV Living
We finish up our time in the Black Hills of South Dakota with a visit to Spearfish and Deadwood. After an unwelcome surprise, we get creative to stay in our campground of choice, the Spearfish City Campground. Only 20 minutes away, we day-trip over to the wild-west town of Deadwood and learn all about its beginnings during the 1876 gold rush and visit a couple famous former residents, Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane. The next day, we take a drive onto the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway with it's 1,000' tall cliff and many waterfalls. We get our feet wet on the adventurous Devils Bathtub hike before returning to camp to, this time, a welcome surprise. The city of Spearfish is having live music in the park, so we grab the dogs and a blanket and spend the evening enjoying a fun and funky band out of Montana, Cole & the Thornes.

LIVE from Deadwood, SD ahead of active tornado day expected across western ND/eastern MT
Live VLOG discussing the severe weather / tornado setup for June 28, 2018! I should have stayed in Deadwood because an incredible tornado producer happened from extreme southeast Montana to just west of Buffalo, SD. I did get a brief spin-up tornado with the supercell in western ND, but nothing like the north of the Black Hills target.
