    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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…. Unless of course they were fighting a rival tribe at the time.

      Strangely enough i was at the NATIVE AMERICAN museum yesterday. Some prefer this title, others do not. I will go with the less offensive option.

      @@archstanton6102See that, Even some Indians aren’t snowflakes. Also, You do realize that saying that calling them indians is “Not nice” you are putting down people from India?… They were originally called Indians because the explorers who landed in North America thought they had landed in India so as you may not know, It was never meant to be an offense.

      @@mikeseier4449 Nice try at deflection with your pitiful attempt to try and bring the people of India into your argument. Pethaps you are genuinely confused?
      You are correct the native Americans werre originally called Indians, but language evolves. That is why we don't speak or write the same English as Shakespeare.
      However the word is offensive to many. Tne same way Inuit is preferred most in north Canada.
