" Deadwood History "

Deadwood Late 1800rds .

Deadwood was in the late 1800's

A mining town, fortunes made & lost overnight was common in deadwood ,

be it by a gunslinger or gold digger, Indian or evangelists, murderer to marshal,

prostitutes to presidents -- Deadwood and the Black Hills have ever held

an attraction to personalities known worldwide. Deadwood Dick, Sitting Bull,

Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Crazy Horse, Sam Bass, Babe Ruth,

Wyatt Earp, William Jennings Bryan, Gutzon Borglum,

Calamity Jane, The Sundance Kid, Calvin Coolidge, Mark Twain,

Preacher Smith, George Armstrong Custer, Bat Masterson, Poker Alice, Black Elk,

Aunt Sally, Big Foot, Teddy Roosevelt -- the famous and infamous have sought faith,

folly, fortune, and fun in "them thar hills."

A time or two across the years, the dice seemed loaded --

the chips were down and the game looked to be played out.

But when the fickle Fates tried to stack the deck against Deadwood,

the plucky South Dakota gold camp called their bluff. For Deadwood,

things always seem to " pan out." To this day !

Perchance it's because Lady Luck smiles on Deadwood. ..

Deadwood makes time stand still to afford its lucky visitors the romantic,

Wild West atmosphere that keeps it famous..!

Deadwoodwestern town To-day

Deadwood town members are proud that ' Brian Betchley ' the farm owner

has kindly given his permission to have the town on his farm ,

their authentic tents on the authentic field,

or caravan on the family field.!

Deadwood Has appeared on major TV channels, BBC,ITV,Chnl4 ,

because the location is ideal for filming, be it for a drama, kids program,

documentary, wedding , you name it, But a minimum fee of a £1000
