Thank you so much for joiningme today, you bet.
First I'm going to ask somequick questions that you can
respond to briefly.
The questions.
They're designed to give thelistener a quick overview of the
destination, and then we'lldive deeper into the topics
afterwards, ready.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You bet.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, what are your top recommendations for visitors
looking to experience theessence of Deadwood today?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Walk Main Street, get out there, explore downtown,
visit every place and lookaround, ask questions and talk
to the locals.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh fabulous place and look around, ask questions and
talk to the locals, oh fabulous.
And you've got that greattrolley or streetcar as well
that can take people up from oneend to the other.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yep, Hop on the trolley.
You can ride it as long as youwant, but once you get off you
got to pay again, or you can getan all day pass.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Are there any must-seeattractions or activities that
sometimes visitors overlook?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, there might be a couple of them.
If you're in Deadwood, you'reobviously interested in what
it's about, so the museums arethe best way to do it.
I would go to the Adams Museum,the Adams House, the Days of 76
, the Brothel Museum yeah, theBrothel.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Museum.
That was a fun museum.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Definitely hit up the museums and look around.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, okay, and as an insider yourself and refresh my
memory, when did you say youmoved to Deadwood?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I've been here since 2005.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
2005.
Okay, so as an insider, howwould you spend a perfect day in
Deadwood when you're notworking?
What would you do?
And eat and see.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, it's kind of hard to do that in short
sentences here, but I'd startout with some country fried
steak and eggs at one of thediners.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That always starts off a perfect day.
Go to the Adams House and seehow people lived.
You know maybe some of theelite people back then.
They just walked away from itand left it the way it was, like
in the 20s.
It's amazing.
Go to the cemetery, strollaround, go visit Wild Bill and
Calamity and pay my respects.
(04:47):
Look over the gulch from thelookout up there.
Come back down to town.
Oh, I don't know.
Go have some chiswick.
Did you hear about chiswickwhile you were here?
I did not.
What is this?
Well, chiswick is like a deepfried beef chunks, oh, a little
(05:09):
little uh, pieces cubed beef, uhor uh, almost up to a strip.
I wouldn't make them quite thatbig, but it's just deep fried
and you can only get that insouth dakota.
That's where it comes from oh,how interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I did not realize that.
I saw it on the breakfast menuand I thought how odd that
they're frying and bettering andfrying, you know, steak to put
with for breakfast.
But I should have tried it.
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yep, chislik, rocky Mountain Oysters.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know you can try that while you're out here too.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If you've heard of that, you can get that in a lot
of places.
But you know, yes, excellent,excellent, okay, well and that's
great.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We'll go ahead and you know that's great for a
quick look at Deadwood, butlet's go ahead and dive into
your experiences and theexperiences that it was so
interesting and so fun.
So I'm curious if you couldtell me about Deadwood Alive and
what it is and what's your rolethere.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, I am the executive director of Deadwood
Alive.
It's a nonprofit organization.
Mainly reenactment is our job.
(06:20):
We're here to educate andentertain people that come to
town, get them to stick around alittle bit, learn more about
our town and have a good timewhile they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
There was like the tour that we went on it.
That's one option.
But then I also noticed you andanother gentleman were, oh, at
the restaurant in the parkinglot.
You were demonstratingdifferent furs or pelts and bone
carcasses and things like that.
So is that part of your role?
And I'm not explaining wellwhat you were doing, but it was
(06:52):
fascinating.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I like the word carcass.
That was a good touch there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And the ugliest puppet you know.
You had that.
What was that?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, a cougar.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
A cougar on his hand.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, pretty nasty.
Yeah, that does kind of qualifyas a carcass.
I guess that's one of ourperformances that we do
throughout the day, orpresentation, I guess is more
like it.
It's about the Black Hillswildlife then, and now is what
it's called.
We talk about animals that usedto be here, that are no longer
(07:30):
here, that have been hunted outof the area or have moved on
because of the humans in thearea, and as well as things that
are still here.
So we have furs and footprintsand photographs and drawings and
skulls and teeth and antlers,claws anything that you can
(07:50):
imagine from all the differentanimals that reside or did
reside here in the hills, sothat we can do a hands-on
presentation with people you canactually check out.
You know, feel what a bear'sfur feels like.
Hopefully you never feel it anyother way you know, but it's
just really interesting alongthose lines.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It was very interesting and seeing their
paws and the enormous nails youknow of the different bears.
So that was interesting.
Okay, so let's talk aboutDeadwood history.
You know you've got thebrothels and you've got gold
mining and you've got probablysome haunted tours and you've
got Calamity Jane and Wild BillHickok, and so there's so much
(08:34):
to cover.
So can you just kind of tell mea little bit about how it
became such an iconic Wild Westtown?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
iconic Wild West town .
Well, you know, like any otherboom town of that era, they
discover gold or silver orcopper or whatever the going
thing was at that time.
People show up and they want tomake some money.
They want to get out there andget rich or at least make a
living to send money back totheir families.
So all of these rough andtumble prospectors and gold
miners showed up out of nowhere.
As soon as they found out aboutthe gold and you know that
(09:10):
attracts other people as wellLike Wild Bill, he came out here
to gamble and try to win moneyfrom the miners.
You'll find people that come outthat were trying to cheat the
miners.
And then you find people thatyou know regular business people
that come out that were tryingto cheat the miners.
And then you find people thatyou know regular business people
that come out here.
It's like I know they're goingto need everything that they
(09:30):
couldn't bring with them, so I'mgoing to provide it and sell it
to them.
So everybody converged on thearea and everybody had money.
They were making money, so theywere all spending it and there
was always somebody there to tryto take it off of their hands.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It got pretty exciting in the meantime that
there were, you know, a lot of,even married women.
I mean, there were a lot ofwomen that were working in the
brothels and because there wasjust so, they were finding ways
(10:10):
to entice women to come to thetown, because there were so few
women there Is that.
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, initially there was just single men showed up.
You know you're not going totake your family out to the
rough wild west and try to takecare of them and keep an eye on
them as well as going out andtry to dig for gold.
So it was a bunch of single menshowed up out here.
Well, not much for the ladies.
So of course, the oldestprofession moved in right away
(10:38):
and took up residence and someof the more unscrupulous
businessmen would try topersuade more women to come out
here with promises of being atheater actor or a dancer or a
(10:58):
school marv, and they'd get outhere and they'd throw them into
that business.
And they'd get out here andthey'd throw them into that
business.
Now, later on, as timeprogressed, it actually just
became a part of the communityand it wasn't such a horrible,
awful, degrading thing that ithad started out as when people
were being treated so poorly.
But did they?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
not term that part of the town.
What was it?
The Deadlands, oh, the Badlands, yes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, we've got the Badlands out east of here, out
in South Dakota, and it's prettyrough territory.
That's why they come up withthe name Badlands, I guess.
So a certain section of town iscalled the Deadwood Badlands
because that's kind of where thequote unquote bad stuff would
happen.
So that was down there.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, very interesting, and you know so
many historical figures.
I'm curious.
You had mentioned Wild BillHickok, so I heard that he spent
his last three weeks inDeadwood and that I went to see
his burial site as well.
That was interesting, and thatI went to see his burial site as
well.
That was interesting.
So what's the story behind?
You know what brought Wild BillHickok to Deadwood and how did
(12:07):
he find his demise?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well old Wild Bill.
He had traveled around and beena lawman in a lot of places and
made a few enemies here andthere.
But he was extremely well-knownfrom the dime novels of the era
.
If he shot one man, they saidhe shot 10.
He was an extremely brave guyand an incredible shot, quick on
(12:33):
the draw, nerves of steel.
But he was over all that.
He didn't want to be a lawmananymore.
He had accidentally shot hisown deputy during another
gunfight.
He snuck up behind him andhollered out his name.
He spun and fired and killedhis own deputy.
He was over it.
He had recently gotten marriedto a lady that actually owned a
(12:56):
circus, believe it or not, andhe had come here with his friend
, charlie Utter, who brought abig wagon train out here to
maybe find a little bit of goldor to just sit down and play
cards and enjoy a little bit oftime and make a little money
that way so that he couldprovide for his new wife.
That's basically all he wantedhere.
(13:17):
But he had a target on his backbecause of all those days.
Somebody always wanted to bethe man that shot Wild Bill.
And one guy actually succeededduring a card game in Deadwood.
That's kind of the biggestthing Wild Bill did for Deadwood
was he died here.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh my gosh.
And Calamity Jane.
I've heard that she wanted tobe buried next time, but they
weren't necessarily involved.
Is that the case?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
She just admired him, or Well, calamity was quite a
character.
She was kind of a a rough,mannish kind of woman but had a
heart of gold.
She showed up on the same wagontrain with Wild Bill, so they
kind of got to know each other alittle bit on the way from
Cheyenne up into the hills.
(14:06):
Now Wild Bill, like I said, wasrecently married.
He had no interest in anybodyelse, especially someone like
Calamity Jane.
Now he had been killed and wasburied in the cemetery and when
she passed away she had saidbury me by old Wild Bill, the
(14:28):
only man I ever loved.
Well, I think it was probablypretty one-sided and he'd
probably roll over in his graveif he knew about it, but she got
her wish is that.
She did get her wish.
She's buried right next to him,along with a Potato Creek
Johnny, who found a giant goldnugget up here in the hills.
(14:48):
He was quite a character aswell.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes, oh, that's wonderful.
And we drove up to the cemeteryand the views there, I mean
someone should go just to walkup and see the views from above,
because it was just outstanding, it was spectacular, and so
let's go ahead.
And is there a particularshootout that occurred that
comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I do have a favorite shootout that happened here in
Deadwood and it's one that wereenact during the summer months
.
At 4 pm, right in the middle ofMain Street, within 10 yards of
where it actually happened,there was two fellas got into an
argument over a game of cards.
(15:32):
We don't know if one can, wedon't know if one of them
accused the other of cheating orhow it all happened, but they
ended up out on the street andthey were going to shoot at each
other.
One fellow pulled his gun whichwas a little short pistol,
wasn't very accurate and startedfiring at the other guy.
The other guy had an accurategun and was firing at him as he
(15:55):
ducked down behind a wheel on awagon.
As he ducked down behind awheel on a wagon, the bullets
hit the wagon wheel and bouncedover his head, and every shot
that he shot back at the otherguy towards Main Street missed
shot out the windows of thebuilding behind him, splattered
glass on somebody and cut him,shot a bartender randomly, and
(16:21):
they never hit each other at all.
Ran out of bullets and thebystanders broke it up and said
come on, guys, let's just gohave a drink.
So they never finished thegunfight, but there was a lot of
collateral damage.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh my goodness, what a time to be alive.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Amazing.
Well, other than being thebartender, that got shot.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right it just means so much, so much activity going
on there and you know, and it's,it's unfortunate, but we can't
even touch on how manyinteresting and fun things there
are to do in Deadwood.
So I'm hoping listeners will,you know, kind of use this to
plan their own trip.
But there's, there's way morethan we're going to even touch
on.
But I stayed at the DeadwoodMountain Grand and I know it's a
(17:09):
significant landmark in thearea.
Could you share a little bit ofmaybe some history behind the
hotel and its significance tothe community?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, Well, up in Leed, which is just three miles
up the road, is the HomestakeMine Big business.
In fact, they've dug 40 milliontroy ounces out of the ground
just that one company.
The building that the DeadwoodMountain Grand is in was
actually a part of the Homestakemining process.
(17:38):
It was called the Slime Plant.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh my gosh, what a name, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, the slime that they talk about was actually a
mixture of chemicals that wasused to leach the gold out of
the ore so that they couldseparate it and then they'd
bring it down into the slimeplant and they'd separate the
chemicals back from the gold andget the gold out of it.
So without the slime plant theydidn't get the gold.
(18:05):
So it was a huge part of theprocess and a giant building
right in the middle of downtownDeadwood and you know people
walked past it for generationsand it just kept running and
chugging out that gold until the70s when they finally closed it
down and went with maybe a lesspolluting process and moved
(18:29):
things back up the hill a littlebit.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, interesting and it's a beautiful hotel and it's
enormous and casinos everywherein Deadwood but very large
casino there and a restaurantand newly renovated hotel.
It was a great experience andwe got to tour what was
previously the slime plant andsee that area and also the
haunted lamp that doesn't stopmoving.
(18:54):
That was interesting.
So some of your personalfavorites and recommendations.
Then, as a local historian anda tour guide, you know what are
some of your personal favoritespots or hidden gems in Deadwood
.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, I would recommend the Adams Museum if
you want to understand thehistory of Deadwood Excellent,
excellent museum all the wayfrom dinosaurs to the modern
eras.
Outlaw Squares always gotsomething going on.
During the summer I personallylike going to the Saloon no 10,
(19:29):
having a drink and listening tomusic every night.
I don't do it as often as Iused to, but it's available
there.
The Social Club upstairs, afantastic restaurant I like, Lee
Street Station for breakfastand the Miner's Diner.
And of course, you knowDeadwood Alive, the shootouts
and the trial of Jack McCauley.
(19:50):
You can't miss that whileyou're here.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Absolutely, oh, fabulous.
And what's the historic hotelon the main strip there?
We had breakfast there one day.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The Bullock is downtown, it's a historic
building.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's right across from that square where they have
live music.
Oh, the Franklin Hotel.
Yeah the Franklin Hotel.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There we go yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh my gosh, it was stunning.
You know the whole interior andthe ceilings and they told us
about how they had raised theceilings and I wasn't sure if
people were shorter back then orcause I know I'm sorry at the
brothel.
Looking at some of thesewomen's shoes, I cannot imagine,
um, they must've been bindingtheir feet or something, unless
they were just very, very tinywomen.
(20:33):
Just they were, the shoes wereso small, but it was wonderful
and we had breakfast there andthey had like a, a lobster eggs
benedict, that just very, verynice.
So all the food, you know, andI was fortunate enough to be
there for the Forks, corks andKegs event, so we ate a lot of
(20:54):
food.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh, yeah, yeah, we have hops and hogs coming up
soon.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's beer and bacon .
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to come back for that
beer and bacon.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Can't beat it.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, it sounds wonderful.
Well, do you have any favoritestories or anecdotes from your
time guiding visitors throughDeadwood?
You know you shared some ofyour favorite shootout, but I
just mean either maybe someone'sexperience seeing it or just a
particular story, anything toend us with that really stands
(21:28):
out for you.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
My personal favorite experience from all of the shows
and shootouts and trials andeverything that we've done.
We try to get out and talk tothe audience before the shows
start, so we're wandering up anddown the street talking to the
folks sitting on the curb.
I was walking up the street atthat four o'clock shootout
(21:51):
getting things ready and gettingeverybody all interested and
wound up, and there's a littleboy crying.
He's probably a year and a halfold maybe, and his parents are
just beside themselves.
They don't know what to do.
And I walked by and he reachedout at me and I reached out and
he came to me and I put him onmy hip and he quit crying and we
(22:11):
walked up and down the streetand talked to everybody Perfect,
stranger.
And the whole crowd just lovedit.
And then I handed him back todad and he was just fine then.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh how fun it just made my day that he would come
to a perfect stranger like that,wearing a big hat and
everything well, and andeveryone, the residents, they're
all are very, it very, veryfriendly people, and so it was,
I can imagine, but youespecially I can, I can see that
, so that's great.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, you know, I came up here for Sturgis Rally
in 2005, or in 2004, actually,and I moved here in 2005.
But everybody was so nice inDeadwood that I just had to come
and be a part of it.
And just so accepting theydon't care where you're from or
what you do, just don't be ajerk, that's all we want, well,
(23:04):
perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And speaking of Sturgis, the town just fills up
during Sturgis, is that correct?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
During Sturgis Rally, the first, well, the last week
of July and the first couple ofweeks of August, we get about a
minimum of a half a millionmotorcyclists up here visiting
and roaming around the hills.
I can't blame them.
It's fantastic riding, the bestyou'll find anywhere.
But I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yep, it's noisy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There's no way we can do our performances at that
time.
There's so many bikes, it's soloud.
So we take off for a week thereand let them do their thing.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Then we come back and finish out the season yeah, and
play some poker or go huntingor whatever you know.
Take some time off, so you betwell, andy, this is just perfect
.
Thank you so much, and how.
I'll also share this in theshow notes.
But how can someone learn moreabout deadwood alive, you know?
Sign up for a tour.
Where can they see where theexhibitions will be?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Well, there's several places to look if you're
thinking about coming toDeadwood.
The Chamber of Commerce is ahuge part of Deadwood and all of
their events and planning, soyou can look on Deadwoodcom and
find out all the big events,everything going on up here.
You can go to OutlawSquarecomand find out all the things
(24:24):
they've got going mainly allsummer long.
They just took down the iceskating rink that had been going
all winter and now they'reready for the summertime and
concerts and such.
Check out the museums atDeadwoodHistorycom.
And then our website is prettysimple deadwoodalivecom.
We're building a brand newwebsite right now.
(24:47):
It has our scheduling on it,everything about what we do, how
to get in touch with us, how tobuy tickets.
You can do it all right throughthere and it's the easiest way
to find it all out.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Excellent, excellent and just I should have asked
this in the quick questions.
But is there a best time ofyear you think for to visit?
You know when is it prettiest,or you know just the best time?
I mean obviously not the lastweek of July.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, I.
If you are a motorcycleenthusiast, I recommend that you
see Sturgis Rally at least onceand find out if you really like
it or not.
There's a lot of crowds andit's really an amazing
experience.
But the general public thatdoesn't want the other half
million motorcyclists around.
I would recommend coming inJune or late August, early
(25:38):
September, when things are alittle bit slower but
everything's still open.
If you get, from Memorial Dayto Labor Day is the main season
and catch either end of that andyou'll be in great shape, great
weather and everything's openFantastic Well, thank you so
much for speaking with me andfor the tour in Deadwood and for
(25:59):
sharing with us some of thestories of Deadwood.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
You bet.
If you ever need anything else,just give me a shout and I'd be
glad to help out.

American West, where legends ofoutlaws, gold rushes and
(01:06):
frontier justice still echothrough the streets.
That's right.
We're headed to Deadwood, southDakota, a town steeped in
history and myth.
I recently visited Deadwood toexperience their Forks, corks
and Kegs Festival, where I washosted by the Deadwood Mountain
Grand at their newly renovatedhotel, restaurant, casino and
(01:26):
entertainment venue.
Today we have a special treatin store.
Joining us is Andy Mosher, atrue aficionado of Deadwood's
past and present as a member ofDeadwood Alive, an organization
dedicated to bringing the town'shistory to life through
immersive performances.
Andy is the perfect guide tohelp us navigate the colorful
(01:47):
tapestry of Deadwood's past.
So buckle up as we ride throughdusty trails of yesteryear,
uncovering the tales ofgunslingers, gold miners and the
wild frontier.
Deadwood may have earned itsname from the trees that once
littered its gulch, but todayit's known for a different kind
of timber, the resilient spiritof its people and the enduring
(02:08):
allure of the Old West.
Let's dive in.
So, without further ado, pleasejoin me in welcoming Andy
Mosher to Global Journeys withJill Dutton.
Andy, thank you for joining ustoday and sharing your insights
about Deadwood.
We can't wait to embark on thisincredible journey with you,
(02:36):
andy.
Thank you so much for joiningme today, you bet.
First I'm going to ask somequick questions that you can
respond to briefly.
The questions.
They're designed to give thelistener a quick overview of the
destination, and then we'lldive deeper into the topics
afterwards, ready.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You bet.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, what are your top recommendations for visitors
looking to experience theessence of Deadwood today?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Walk Main Street, get out there, explore downtown,
visit every place and lookaround, ask questions and talk
to the locals.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh fabulous place and look around, ask questions and
talk to the locals, oh fabulous.
And you've got that greattrolley or streetcar as well
that can take people up from oneend to the other.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yep, Hop on the trolley.
You can ride it as long as youwant, but once you get off you
got to pay again, or you can getan all day pass.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Are there any must-seeattractions or activities that
sometimes visitors overlook?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, there might be a couple of them.
If you're in Deadwood, you'reobviously interested in what
it's about, so the museums arethe best way to do it.
I would go to the Adams Museum,the Adams House, the Days of 76
, the Brothel Museum yeah, theBrothel.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Museum.
That was a fun museum.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Definitely hit up the museums and look around.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, okay, and as an insider yourself and refresh my
memory, when did you say youmoved to Deadwood?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I've been here since 2005.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
2005.
Okay, so as an insider, howwould you spend a perfect day in
Deadwood when you're notworking?
What would you do?
And eat and see.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, it's kind of hard to do that in short
sentences here, but I'd startout with some country fried
steak and eggs at one of thediners.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That always starts off a perfect day.
Go to the Adams House and seehow people lived.
You know maybe some of theelite people back then.
They just walked away from itand left it the way it was, like
in the 20s.
It's amazing.
Go to the cemetery, strollaround, go visit Wild Bill and
Calamity and pay my respects.
(04:47):
Look over the gulch from thelookout up there.
Come back down to town.
Oh, I don't know.
Go have some chiswick.
Did you hear about chiswickwhile you were here?
I did not.
What is this?
Well, chiswick is like a deepfried beef chunks, oh, a little
(05:09):
little uh, pieces cubed beef, uhor uh, almost up to a strip.
I wouldn't make them quite thatbig, but it's just deep fried
and you can only get that insouth dakota.
That's where it comes from oh,how interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I did not realize that.
I saw it on the breakfast menuand I thought how odd that
they're frying and bettering andfrying, you know, steak to put
with for breakfast.
But I should have tried it.
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yep, chislik, rocky Mountain Oysters.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know you can try that while you're out here too.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If you've heard of that, you can get that in a lot
of places.
But you know, yes, excellent,excellent, okay, well and that's
great.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We'll go ahead and you know that's great for a
quick look at Deadwood, butlet's go ahead and dive into
your experiences and theexperiences that it was so
interesting and so fun.
So I'm curious if you couldtell me about Deadwood Alive and
what it is and what's your rolethere.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, I am the executive director of Deadwood
Alive.
It's a nonprofit organization.
Mainly reenactment is our job.
(06:20):
We're here to educate andentertain people that come to
town, get them to stick around alittle bit, learn more about
our town and have a good timewhile they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
There was like the tour that we went on it.
That's one option.
But then I also noticed you andanother gentleman were, oh, at
the restaurant in the parkinglot.
You were demonstratingdifferent furs or pelts and bone
carcasses and things like that.
So is that part of your role?
And I'm not explaining wellwhat you were doing, but it was
(06:52):
fascinating.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I like the word carcass.
That was a good touch there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And the ugliest puppet you know.
You had that.
What was that?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, a cougar.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
A cougar on his hand.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, pretty nasty.
Yeah, that does kind of qualifyas a carcass.
I guess that's one of ourperformances that we do
throughout the day, orpresentation, I guess is more
like it.
It's about the Black Hillswildlife then, and now is what
it's called.
We talk about animals that usedto be here, that are no longer
(07:30):
here, that have been hunted outof the area or have moved on
because of the humans in thearea, and as well as things that
are still here.
So we have furs and footprintsand photographs and drawings and
skulls and teeth and antlers,claws anything that you can
(07:50):
imagine from all the differentanimals that reside or did
reside here in the hills, sothat we can do a hands-on
presentation with people you canactually check out.
You know, feel what a bear'sfur feels like.
Hopefully you never feel it anyother way you know, but it's
just really interesting alongthose lines.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It was very interesting and seeing their
paws and the enormous nails youknow of the different bears.
So that was interesting.
Okay, so let's talk aboutDeadwood history.
You know you've got thebrothels and you've got gold
mining and you've got probablysome haunted tours and you've
got Calamity Jane and Wild BillHickok, and so there's so much
(08:34):
to cover.
So can you just kind of tell mea little bit about how it
became such an iconic Wild Westtown?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
iconic Wild West town .
Well, you know, like any otherboom town of that era, they
discover gold or silver orcopper or whatever the going
thing was at that time.
People show up and they want tomake some money.
They want to get out there andget rich or at least make a
living to send money back totheir families.
So all of these rough andtumble prospectors and gold
miners showed up out of nowhere.
As soon as they found out aboutthe gold and you know that
(09:10):
attracts other people as wellLike Wild Bill, he came out here
to gamble and try to win moneyfrom the miners.
You'll find people that come outthat were trying to cheat the
miners.
And then you find people thatyou know regular business people
that come out that were tryingto cheat the miners.
And then you find people thatyou know regular business people
that come out here.
It's like I know they're goingto need everything that they
(09:30):
couldn't bring with them, so I'mgoing to provide it and sell it
to them.
So everybody converged on thearea and everybody had money.
They were making money, so theywere all spending it and there
was always somebody there to tryto take it off of their hands.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It got pretty exciting in the meantime that
there were, you know, a lot of,even married women.
I mean, there were a lot ofwomen that were working in the
brothels and because there wasjust so, they were finding ways
(10:10):
to entice women to come to thetown, because there were so few
women there Is that.
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, initially there was just single men showed up.
You know you're not going totake your family out to the
rough wild west and try to takecare of them and keep an eye on
them as well as going out andtry to dig for gold.
So it was a bunch of single menshowed up out here.
Well, not much for the ladies.
So of course, the oldestprofession moved in right away
(10:38):
and took up residence and someof the more unscrupulous
businessmen would try topersuade more women to come out
here with promises of being atheater actor or a dancer or a
(10:58):
school marv, and they'd get outhere and they'd throw them into
that business.
And they'd get out here andthey'd throw them into that
business.
Now, later on, as timeprogressed, it actually just
became a part of the communityand it wasn't such a horrible,
awful, degrading thing that ithad started out as when people
were being treated so poorly.
But did they?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
not term that part of the town.
What was it?
The Deadlands, oh, the Badlands, yes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, we've got the Badlands out east of here, out
in South Dakota, and it's prettyrough territory.
That's why they come up withthe name Badlands, I guess.
So a certain section of town iscalled the Deadwood Badlands
because that's kind of where thequote unquote bad stuff would
happen.
So that was down there.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, very interesting, and you know so
many historical figures.
I'm curious.
You had mentioned Wild BillHickok, so I heard that he spent
his last three weeks inDeadwood and that I went to see
his burial site as well.
That was interesting, and thatI went to see his burial site as
well.
That was interesting.
So what's the story behind?
You know what brought Wild BillHickok to Deadwood and how did
(12:07):
he find his demise?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well old Wild Bill.
He had traveled around and beena lawman in a lot of places and
made a few enemies here andthere.
But he was extremely well-knownfrom the dime novels of the era
.
If he shot one man, they saidhe shot 10.
He was an extremely brave guyand an incredible shot, quick on
(12:33):
the draw, nerves of steel.
But he was over all that.
He didn't want to be a lawmananymore.
He had accidentally shot hisown deputy during another
gunfight.
He snuck up behind him andhollered out his name.
He spun and fired and killedhis own deputy.
He was over it.
He had recently gotten marriedto a lady that actually owned a
(12:56):
circus, believe it or not, andhe had come here with his friend
, charlie Utter, who brought abig wagon train out here to
maybe find a little bit of goldor to just sit down and play
cards and enjoy a little bit oftime and make a little money
that way so that he couldprovide for his new wife.
That's basically all he wantedhere.
(13:17):
But he had a target on his backbecause of all those days.
Somebody always wanted to bethe man that shot Wild Bill.
And one guy actually succeededduring a card game in Deadwood.
That's kind of the biggestthing Wild Bill did for Deadwood
was he died here.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh my gosh.
And Calamity Jane.
I've heard that she wanted tobe buried next time, but they
weren't necessarily involved.
Is that the case?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
She just admired him, or Well, calamity was quite a
character.
She was kind of a a rough,mannish kind of woman but had a
heart of gold.
She showed up on the same wagontrain with Wild Bill, so they
kind of got to know each other alittle bit on the way from
Cheyenne up into the hills.
(14:06):
Now Wild Bill, like I said, wasrecently married.
He had no interest in anybodyelse, especially someone like
Calamity Jane.
Now he had been killed and wasburied in the cemetery and when
she passed away she had saidbury me by old Wild Bill, the
(14:28):
only man I ever loved.
Well, I think it was probablypretty one-sided and he'd
probably roll over in his graveif he knew about it, but she got
her wish is that.
She did get her wish.
She's buried right next to him,along with a Potato Creek
Johnny, who found a giant goldnugget up here in the hills.
(14:48):
He was quite a character aswell.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes, oh, that's wonderful.
And we drove up to the cemeteryand the views there, I mean
someone should go just to walkup and see the views from above,
because it was just outstanding, it was spectacular, and so
let's go ahead.
And is there a particularshootout that occurred that
comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I do have a favorite shootout that happened here in
Deadwood and it's one that wereenact during the summer months
.
At 4 pm, right in the middle ofMain Street, within 10 yards of
where it actually happened,there was two fellas got into an
argument over a game of cards.
(15:32):
We don't know if one can, wedon't know if one of them
accused the other of cheating orhow it all happened, but they
ended up out on the street andthey were going to shoot at each
other.
One fellow pulled his gun whichwas a little short pistol,
wasn't very accurate and startedfiring at the other guy.
The other guy had an accurategun and was firing at him as he
(15:55):
ducked down behind a wheel on awagon.
As he ducked down behind awheel on a wagon, the bullets
hit the wagon wheel and bouncedover his head, and every shot
that he shot back at the otherguy towards Main Street missed
shot out the windows of thebuilding behind him, splattered
glass on somebody and cut him,shot a bartender randomly, and
(16:21):
they never hit each other at all.
Ran out of bullets and thebystanders broke it up and said
come on, guys, let's just gohave a drink.
So they never finished thegunfight, but there was a lot of
collateral damage.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh my goodness, what a time to be alive.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Amazing.
Well, other than being thebartender, that got shot.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right it just means so much, so much activity going
on there and you know, and it's,it's unfortunate, but we can't
even touch on how manyinteresting and fun things there
are to do in Deadwood.
So I'm hoping listeners will,you know, kind of use this to
plan their own trip.
But there's, there's way morethan we're going to even touch
on.
But I stayed at the DeadwoodMountain Grand and I know it's a
(17:09):
significant landmark in thearea.
Could you share a little bit ofmaybe some history behind the
hotel and its significance tothe community?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, Well, up in Leed, which is just three miles
up the road, is the HomestakeMine Big business.
In fact, they've dug 40 milliontroy ounces out of the ground
just that one company.
The building that the DeadwoodMountain Grand is in was
actually a part of the Homestakemining process.
(17:38):
It was called the Slime Plant.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh my gosh, what a name, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, the slime that they talk about was actually a
mixture of chemicals that wasused to leach the gold out of
the ore so that they couldseparate it and then they'd
bring it down into the slimeplant and they'd separate the
chemicals back from the gold andget the gold out of it.
So without the slime plant theydidn't get the gold.
(18:05):
So it was a huge part of theprocess and a giant building
right in the middle of downtownDeadwood and you know people
walked past it for generationsand it just kept running and
chugging out that gold until the70s when they finally closed it
down and went with maybe a lesspolluting process and moved
(18:29):
things back up the hill a littlebit.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, interesting and it's a beautiful hotel and it's
enormous and casinos everywherein Deadwood but very large
casino there and a restaurantand newly renovated hotel.
It was a great experience andwe got to tour what was
previously the slime plant andsee that area and also the
haunted lamp that doesn't stopmoving.
(18:54):
That was interesting.
So some of your personalfavorites and recommendations.
Then, as a local historian anda tour guide, you know what are
some of your personal favoritespots or hidden gems in Deadwood
.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, I would recommend the Adams Museum if
you want to understand thehistory of Deadwood Excellent,
excellent museum all the wayfrom dinosaurs to the modern
eras.
Outlaw Squares always gotsomething going on.
During the summer I personallylike going to the Saloon no 10,
(19:29):
having a drink and listening tomusic every night.
I don't do it as often as Iused to, but it's available
there.
The Social Club upstairs, afantastic restaurant I like, Lee
Street Station for breakfastand the Miner's Diner.
And of course, you knowDeadwood Alive, the shootouts
and the trial of Jack McCauley.
(19:50):
You can't miss that whileyou're here.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Absolutely, oh, fabulous.
And what's the historic hotelon the main strip there?
We had breakfast there one day.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The Bullock is downtown, it's a historic
building.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's right across from that square where they have
live music.
Oh, the Franklin Hotel.
Yeah the Franklin Hotel.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There we go yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh my gosh, it was stunning.
You know the whole interior andthe ceilings and they told us
about how they had raised theceilings and I wasn't sure if
people were shorter back then orcause I know I'm sorry at the
brothel.
Looking at some of thesewomen's shoes, I cannot imagine,
um, they must've been bindingtheir feet or something, unless
they were just very, very tinywomen.
(20:33):
Just they were, the shoes wereso small, but it was wonderful
and we had breakfast there andthey had like a, a lobster eggs
benedict, that just very, verynice.
So all the food, you know, andI was fortunate enough to be
there for the Forks, corks andKegs event, so we ate a lot of
(20:54):
food.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh, yeah, yeah, we have hops and hogs coming up
soon.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's beer and bacon .
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to come back for that
beer and bacon.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Can't beat it.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, it sounds wonderful.
Well, do you have any favoritestories or anecdotes from your
time guiding visitors throughDeadwood?
You know you shared some ofyour favorite shootout, but I
just mean either maybe someone'sexperience seeing it or just a
particular story, anything toend us with that really stands
(21:28):
out for you.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
My personal favorite experience from all of the shows
and shootouts and trials andeverything that we've done.
We try to get out and talk tothe audience before the shows
start, so we're wandering up anddown the street talking to the
folks sitting on the curb.
I was walking up the street atthat four o'clock shootout
(21:51):
getting things ready and gettingeverybody all interested and
wound up, and there's a littleboy crying.
He's probably a year and a halfold maybe, and his parents are
just beside themselves.
They don't know what to do.
And I walked by and he reachedout at me and I reached out and
he came to me and I put him onmy hip and he quit crying and we
(22:11):
walked up and down the streetand talked to everybody Perfect,
stranger.
And the whole crowd just lovedit.
And then I handed him back todad and he was just fine then.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh how fun it just made my day that he would come
to a perfect stranger like that,wearing a big hat and
everything well, and andeveryone, the residents, they're
all are very, it very, veryfriendly people, and so it was,
I can imagine, but youespecially I can, I can see that
, so that's great.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, you know, I came up here for Sturgis Rally
in 2005, or in 2004, actually,and I moved here in 2005.
But everybody was so nice inDeadwood that I just had to come
and be a part of it.
And just so accepting theydon't care where you're from or
what you do, just don't be ajerk, that's all we want, well,
(23:04):
perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And speaking of Sturgis, the town just fills up
during Sturgis, is that correct?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
During Sturgis Rally, the first, well, the last week
of July and the first couple ofweeks of August, we get about a
minimum of a half a millionmotorcyclists up here visiting
and roaming around the hills.
I can't blame them.
It's fantastic riding, the bestyou'll find anywhere.
But I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yep, it's noisy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There's no way we can do our performances at that
time.
There's so many bikes, it's soloud.
So we take off for a week thereand let them do their thing.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Then we come back and finish out the season yeah, and
play some poker or go huntingor whatever you know.
Take some time off, so you betwell, andy, this is just perfect
.
Thank you so much, and how.
I'll also share this in theshow notes.
But how can someone learn moreabout deadwood alive, you know?
Sign up for a tour.
Where can they see where theexhibitions will be?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Well, there's several places to look if you're
thinking about coming toDeadwood.
The Chamber of Commerce is ahuge part of Deadwood and all of
their events and planning, soyou can look on Deadwoodcom and
find out all the big events,everything going on up here.
You can go to OutlawSquarecomand find out all the things
(24:24):
they've got going mainly allsummer long.
They just took down the iceskating rink that had been going
all winter and now they'reready for the summertime and
concerts and such.
Check out the museums atDeadwoodHistorycom.
And then our website is prettysimple deadwoodalivecom.
We're building a brand newwebsite right now.
(24:47):
It has our scheduling on it,everything about what we do, how
to get in touch with us, how tobuy tickets.
You can do it all right throughthere and it's the easiest way
to find it all out.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Excellent, excellent and just I should have asked
this in the quick questions.
But is there a best time ofyear you think for to visit?
You know when is it prettiest,or you know just the best time?
I mean obviously not the lastweek of July.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, I.
If you are a motorcycleenthusiast, I recommend that you
see Sturgis Rally at least onceand find out if you really like
it or not.
There's a lot of crowds andit's really an amazing
experience.
But the general public thatdoesn't want the other half
million motorcyclists around.
I would recommend coming inJune or late August, early
(25:38):
September, when things are alittle bit slower but
everything's still open.
If you get, from Memorial Dayto Labor Day is the main season
