Deadwood, South Dakota was founded in 1876. Gold was found nearby along with ravines filled with dead wood. The name stuck. Larger than life characters emerged here and legends were born. Wild Bill Hickok’s short time in Deadwood ended at a poker table as he was gunned down. He is buried up on Mount Moriah, overlooking the town. Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, Preacher Smith, and many other Wild West figures are also buried in the famous Mount Moriah Cemetery.
