Deadwood, South Dakota

Today I am going to write a little about the
town of Deadwood, South Dakota, USA.

Deadwood is located 12 miles west southwest
of Sturgis. It is the second oldest town in the
Black Hills, being first settled about 1875 by
goldminers after gold was discovered near
the town site.

In the early days Deadwood was one of the
roughest, toughest communities in the United
State. Gun fights were a daily occurance as
miners attempted to defend their claims or
settle a gambling dispute. There were quite
a large number of prostitues and even these
ladies were not immune to the violence. At
least one was murdered by a jealous customer.

For the past twenty years Deadwood has been
the only authorized gambling town in South
Dakota. It has more than 100 casinios and a
very large number of hotel and motel rooms
as well as numberous, very reasonable
resturants and cafes.

Deadwood is still a small town, despite the
huge number of tourists drawn to it's many
attractions, with a population of around 2000.
