I grew up in Deadwood, before gambling changed it forever. You did a great job cutting through the tourist stories to the actual history. Especially the fact that the actual spot Hickhock died at is lost to history due to fires. The woman on the wall of portraits is actually Poker Alice. She was a bit of a local character she always had a poker game going at her house. My grampa played there frequently.

I have always been fascinated by the story of Wild Bill and Calamity Jane. Always my favorite way to start my Sunday ! A piping hot cup of coffee and a riveting history lesson from History Hunters !! Thank you Jeff and Sarah ! I sure hope to run into you both someday ! 👏👏❤

I worked in Deadwood at the Historic Adams House 10 years ago. I am actually impressed that they haven't raised the admission to Mount Moriah in all that time. Can you imagine having to care for that cemetery that's so steep and high? I loved visiting the cemetery after work, but after giving tours all day and then hiking up that hill, it really took it out of me.

Thanks for climbing to the top for us Jeff. Well done as always.

During “Sturgis” motorcycle week , Deadwood’s streets are lined with thousands of bikes from all around the country every day which is why they sell so many tee shirts. My wife and I rode there in ‘98 along with 600,000 others . Thank you for showing us what it normally looks like and also the great history lesson.

Thank You Jeff & Sarah for another GREAT history lesson!

Appreciate all you do to bring us fascinating content. This one was particularly enjoyable and informative.

Another great journey through history. Very much appreciated. Thank you, Sarah and Jeff!! 👍👍👍

It has become our family tradition to watch History Hunters every Sunday evening. Thank you for the wholesome content and the history lessons that we will NEVER take for granted. You do a fabulous job! Thank You and may God be with you in your safe journeys!

You amaze me, Jeff and Sarah! How do you come up with these great ideas of presenting these great shows featuring these historic American history characters ? Your hard work in producing these shows are greatly appreciated. I don't know if you believe it or not, but your shows bring solace and peace to my spirit. Keep up the good work and God bless you and Sarah.

Thanks again guys. Like always a very informative and entertaining history lesson.....and Jeff I do appreciate the effort. Thanks for taking us on the adventure.

Hi Jeff, I do appreciate your effort to take us along to Seth's grave. My interest has been peaked recently when I started watching The series on Hulu. This is great!! Thank you!!!

Thank you for making this video. I'm part Hunkpapa Sioux. I grew up in Thunder Hawk, S.D. My great grandmother is the most written author in the Library of Congress, and her mother was Itattawia, "Wind Woman", she was one of the first college grad's of the great Sioux Nation and earned a BA in English Literature. My mother and I went on a road trip when I was 10 years old, and on of the first stops was in Deadwood, S.D. We took a tour thru the town, and she showed me where Wild Bill was shot, by Jack McCall. Kind of funny, as I was an Infantry Marine, 7th U.S. Marines, I earned two (2) Call Names in my Marine Corps, first was, "Wild Bill" and second, "Mad Dog". I am 76 years old now, I hope to be buried on the Military Reservation at "The Little Big Horn", because it was my Sioux family that General George Armstrong Custer ran into as he crossed the river and it was my family that kilt the son-of-a-bastard. If I remember correctly they shot him 7 times in the chest, the holes are in the leather jacket he wore into battle. By the way, it was my great grandmother, "Woman of the Wind", that made that leather jacket for him. On that terrible day, after the Sioux kilt all the 7th Cavalry Soldiers the Squaws went out and butchered all of the dead soldiers except Custer. They took their sewing needles out and ripped out his ear drums. I asked my Sioux grandmother why they tore out his ear drums, she said, "To make sure in his next life he could hear the Sioux Warriors warn him they'd kill him if he didn't stop murdering Sioux women and children..."! Deadwood is my favorite city, if I had one wish it would be to have been born in the days and time of Wild Bill Hickok. I think I could have taken him. LOL, LOL, LOL.

Jeff, I can tell by your huffing and puffing that climbing the hill took a lot of physical effort. I appreciate it. I was last in deadwood in the 1970s. The town has become a complete tourist attraction. Still, I would like to do a video about Deadwood and several of the other attractions in the Black Hills.

We finally visit Deadwood (5/30/2024) and the Mt Moriah cemetery and do we now appreciate you Jeff for walking up to Mr Seth Bullock’s grave. I have to say, I must have been under a rock, but I had no idea of the many gambling establishments. Thank you Jeff and Sarah…❤

Thanks so much for this video. It was so interesting, and informative. It's always fascinating to hear about the lives of these historic figures... trying to sort out fact from fiction. I love the names these colorful characters are known by. That cemetery has quite a collection of notables. I had very little knowledge of Seth Bullock. *Thanks so much Jeff and Sarah, for another great video. I read where Jack McCall claimed that Wild Bill Hickok had killed his brother, whose death he was avenging. 👏👏 Deadwood💥

Deadwood is full of historical sites and a wealth of Western knowledge. Thanks for your time and input.

I look forward to your episodes every Sunday morning, thank you Jeff and Sarah😊

Thank you, for both of your efforts and sharing your passion for history and such stunning landscapes. Hopefully one day I'll travel from Scotland to such an amazing and beautiful country. I for one appreciate your commitment and deadication to climbing up such a steep hill. God bless & God speed in both of your journeys into American history. God Bless Old Glory

Keep up the good work. I love hearing about history. You could endless videos about history, there is so much out there. I am glad that you are bringing history to us.

That was an awesome tour of Deadwood! A rowdy past full of rowdy & colorful characters...very much like the towns in the California Motherlode. Gold rush towns do tend to be very similar. Thanks for taking us there with you!!

Once again, great job and (puff puff) research. Beautiful old buildings. Thanks for the memories!

Thanks for the memories, my wife and I were there in 2017 enjoyed it very much, we camped at the horse thief camp ground while we were there!

Thanks for showing us all that too very interesting too!!!

Hi Jeff & Sarah, I have to admit I would never make the climb, so thanks again for taking one for the team and sharing with us all.

I love the wild west stories! Thanks so much! Deadwood is one of the places I would love to see!💕🏜️

Big like awesome thanks for sharing watching 👀 and subscribed from the UK 🇬🇧 😀 👍.

As always appreciate your dedication to our country's history and thank you for sharing. The old west is full of stories and legends and is always fascinating. Thanks again Jeff and Sarah 👍

We visited Deadwood several years ago. It's a neat town, lots of history and a fun town to walk around. Cemetery was interesting for sure.

The woman in the photo smoking the cigar frame 4:06 min is POKER ALICE! Been there many times 2004-2022. Love it there , thanks for showing this video.

Thank you once again for taking me to places I cannot travel too, but want to see. Watching your videos makes me feel like I have had a mini vacation. Thank you again.

The town is also known as a supply point for the troopers trying to round up the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne in 1876 before the Battle of the Little Bighorn. One group of troops was coming from Deadwood while two other columns were coming from the east and west to force the Indians back on reservations. General Crook was coming from Deadwood and ran into the Sioux at the Battle of the Rosebud and had to retreat to Deadwood to resupply. Custer was coming from the east and wound up being killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The group coming from the west to trap the Oglala Sioux where too late to help Custer. After the Battle of the Little Bighorn, many of the Sioux fled to Canada with Sitting Bull.

As a German, I am really fascinated by American Cowboy and Indian History, thank you for this video walk of History.

Well done Jeff & Sarah - A nice insight into more American history /legends ,I was always enthralled by the old west after my old Ma bought me a very thick leather bound book about the subject , Hickok , Custer , the Earps , Buffalo Bill and of course Calamity Jane who I found out was nothing like Doris Day - in the film ?. Interesting story about Potato Creek Johnny ,must have been quite a eye opener from 19th century Wales to the Wild West ,even more weird was that according to historians the old West only existed in it"s wild form a few years in reality ! .

Really liking your videos me and my family visited deadwood last summer. It is a very steep hill to that cemetery.

Well done Jeff for all your exercise this episode. Remember that many of us view your channel from abroad and are unlikely ever to visit your locations. So all we learn is through your efforts. Thankyou.

I'm from Britian and what I have noticed more in recent times is how horriblethe modern buildings look compared to back in the day.

I have always wanted to go to Deadwood SD . Have not had the chance to yet Thank you for taking me there. 🤠 John Wunschel Old Hangtown ca.

Thank you for the dedication for your long loved compassion😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅

Jeff... I do thank you for that effort of climbing up that steep hill. When I visited the Grand Canyon some years ago I had a similar out of breath experience. High altitudes and thin air do affect many people. I am happy that you and Sarah went to Deadwood. Because of your informative and realistic vlog I almost feel that I was there with you! Have you ever thought of doing a vlog at the Little Bighorn Battle field. I do know that with your research and expert historic fact finding expertise you would do a great presentation. Now to coffee and election news. Until next vlog take care and thank you.

Thank you for hiking up that hill so that I could see it. I will never get there personally.

Thanks for the info and your reverent way of presenting it.❤

My birth state and I've been there several times in Deadwood. I have to admit I learned a lot watching this video. I appreciate how much work you put into your videos presenting accurate information. Bell Fouche is one of my favorite little towns beautiful area. I currently reside in Montana and Bullock remains a popular name here. . Thank you and Sara for all the work and travels you do. God Bless & Safe Travels.

Been to Deadwood! Fascinating town, so rich in history! Thank you Jeff and Satah! Got one of my Harley shirts there!

Thanks for going through the hard work of showing us this history of times past. Another gr8 history lesson.

I went there with my folks eons ago, when I was in 8th grade in 1976!! We went to the graveyard as well and that’s when I found out from my dad, we are distantly related to Calamity Jane, aka, Mary Canary!

I appreciate your efforts to factualize this History. It's sad how the town has skewed, and monetized history.

Very informative. It's good to know there are people like you who are not afraid to set the record 'straight' as we hear enough "revisionist history" in this country of ours. Keep up the good work!!

WOW, what a walk!! I have never been out west, but I would love to go. If I do, I'll know to be in shape before attempting to walk that cemetery!! Thanks so much Jeff!!

Really enjoyed your tour, great photos...

Thank you from New Zealand. Very interesting the Old West.

That was so interesting !! Thank you 😁 and thanks for walking up that steep hill

I do appreciate all that huffing and puffing for us, Jeff. A few years back my senior group toured all the sites you've been to. After all the walking around Deadwood, our group was going up to see Hickhock's and Jane's graves. I just knew I was done. So thanks to you I now have seen them and more. Thanks. You are a trooper.

Another awesome episode. Thank you Jeff and Sarah.

Very well done on this history lesson and the work out up the hill! Great reporting and visuals, fantastic entertainment for Old West buffs! Brilliant, love this. And RIP to all the Folks buried there.

Hello Jeff & Sarah, Happy Sunday! Thsnks so much for sharing this great story. Have a wonderful day.

Saw all this a couple years ago. One of my favorite trips. and you are right, that is some walk up the cemetery road, steep. Thanks.

Than you Jeff for your video! I really enjoyed it!

As always Jeff, thank you for another amazing video along with the additional information of other historical people. And thank you for your long 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️ 's to bring us awesome shots!

Wow, simply wow! Loved this episode!!!

Great job. I just love anything from the old west.

I’ve made that hike on two different occasions, so I can feel your winded pain! We love Deadwood, SD. Just a fascinating little town. Great video!

That was quite a hike. You always go to great lengths! I always want to see all the places after your research and great videos!

Another great one guys…good to see deadwood..😉👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

loved your tour of Deadwood

America has history that you can reach out and touch......really interesting to see Deadwood. Definitely going to visit when funds allow....can't wait for your next historical post .....excellent job.

Fascinating as usual. I had no idea Wild Bill was so young. Nancy

Love the video its just like we were there with you. Once again 10 outa 10. Ive been to Deadwood many times and love that area. Thanks for tour!

Very interesting! Thank You for doing this story and adventure.

Thanks. I have been a fan of wild Bill for a long time. That walk must be more then a mile climb. Well done. Thanks for the story.

Thanks for being so descriptive. My husband is the history buff and loves stories of the old west.Thanks for the history lesson. You made Deadwood come alive(pardon the pun) Angie and Jim

Thank you for the look back into history

I had not watched the series when it first came out and then, in 2022, we took a trip to South Dakota with my brother and his family. I kind of fell in love with the place, including Deadwood, where we spent a good deal of time in and stayed up the road near Lead... After my visit I did binge watch the series and also did some research on my own of the history of the town and the historic figures from the show. I admire these people, who were not handed a world pre-made with all the things we take for granted today, but had to shape the world through sheer will into one in which they could live. Maybe on average, they had much shorter lives than we have now but they seemed to pack a lot of living into them. There is something to be learned from that.

Thank you for brilliant learning the real west and pioneers

Fantastic episode and Thank you for taking the hike for all of us!!

Another great history lesson!!!!! It really brings us back in time!!!! I remember that movie with Doris Day!!!

I have been in Deadwood and Mt. Moriah Cemetery at the end of May 2014. The video brings back some good memories. Thank you.

Nice! Thanks for bringing us along with you. I've never seen Bullocks grave before.

Thank you for the excessive getting to those locations. We have been there a few times your video reminds me of our great vacations back there.

Thank you for your hard work in this video 📹

I appreciate your walk in the cemetery showing us the graves. It looked really steep but a great view. I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you.

Thanks Jeff and Sarah for another great video. You took one for the team. Jeff, we are not spring chickens anymore. You did a great job.

We were there in 2015. A real place in history. Thanks for bringing back memories to us. Appreciate your travels.

Wyoming ..been up it 3 times as a fave stomping ground and the trip up to the single grave of bullock wrecked my feet and boots for life ...

Very nice, love these stories. Thanks.

Fantastic job Jeff. So enjoy the education and facts you have in your videos. Thanks for sharing, please keep doing this super work.

Amazing history! Things I was never aware of. Again, thank you for another wonderful story

I am an English citizen and find the history of the guns and the people of the west in the early years fascinating, thank you for your information.

Very interesting to find out Calamity Jane may have been the very first celebrity stalker. Great video as always.

"They told me I couldn't take video in here. But, tough." Love the rebel attitude. 👍🏼👊🏼🥰

That was great! Thank you!

Thank you for climbing the hill to show us the cemetery. Fascinating stories.☮️💖🎶

Thank you Jeff for al the hard work you put in to making these fine videos. Central California watching

Thanks for taking that hike up the hill for me...I doubt if I could do it anymore.

Nice trip, video and history lesson.............................. I had to paus there for a minute to catch my breath. I would have no problem paying a fee if I know the proceeds are going for upkeep/maintenance of the cemetery. Sometimes city hall will refuse to pay for upkeep of a cemetery. Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia is a good example of an abandoned cemetery. Although Deadwood, without their Celebrated dead, that town would have disappeared long ago. Tourist's is all that's keeping it alive I would think.😜

Thanks for your work and dedication.

Great video! Thank you for sharing. It was cool to see my ancestors grave right by Wild Bill, as you walk up the staircase. I will be visiting there this summer, this will help me out, thanks again.

Another awesome video. I have been through this state many times, but never stopped at Deadwood. Enjoying this vicariously. Thank you, again!

Jeff and Sarah, Another excellent video! Thanks for sharing

Another great episode Jeff and Sarah! And I appreciate you hoofing it all the way up that hill so we could check out mr Bullocks grave! 🪦 😎
