Real History of Deadwood

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Any time a highly respected historical drama comes along, whether on the big or small screen, be prepared for dozens of articles about all the things it got wrong. Uncovering those inconsistencies may be illuminating, but the relationship between history and its fictionalized depiction is a codependent one. Even with poetic license doing some heavy lifting, fiction often hews closer than expected to historical fact - or at least uses true events as a sturdy jumping-off point.

If you ever go to Deadwood (and I'd suggest it, including all of the Black Hills, including Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Devil's Tower, etc, DO NOT GO DURING THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY, unless you're aim is to go to the rally.
Motorcycles will outnumber cars 20 to 1 or more. All hotel rooms will be gone. Every town/business will be catering to the bikers. There will even be places and towns that are closed to cars.
Yes, I was there during the rally by accident. Just avoid the rally, the week before and after. Otherwise, the Black Hills is a terrific place to visit!

If the question is: did they curse? Then the answer is yes. Did they use the words we use? Probably not exactly, but we don t even use the same words in all English-speaking areas. This was really interesting! I really liked the focus on the real history while still connecting to the show!

Deadwood is in my top three or four best HBO series of all time, one of the few moments in TV or film that made me cry was the preacher. Ah so frustrating they cancelled it so soon back in the day

We have been to Deadwood a few times, but after the city allowed gambling Deadwood lost it's old west appeal. Now it's flashing lights, bells and even the wooden sidewalks are gone.

I enjoyed this. This was a time in the American Wild West where gold was the thing and led to setting up of the town. Oh, Custer and Hickok were friends. Both died in 1876.
