Deadwood: The Best Writings on the Most Notorious Town in the West by TD Griffith

So, we planned this little trip BACK to South Dakota, EXACTLY one year after going there.  More on that later, but I wanted to read some more books on the the state and some of its towns before this repeat adventure.

AND, I had kinda exhausted some books on outlaws, travel, ghosts, etc before out trip last year.

I really enjoyed the books that author T.D. Griffith put out though, AND I was lucky enough to find one I had not read....  and it was on Deadwood!

"Deadwood:  The Best Writings on the Most Notorious Town in the West" is actually a collection of articles, and pages from other books on Deadwood and its characters.  Griffith does a short intro to each piece to let you know why that particular mention was chosen for his book.

The articles are from all over the place too.....  and I really appreciated some writings by a reporter who visited the town right as it was getting established.  Griffith also includes a contribution from a lady who grew up, as a child, around that same time too.

Pop culture links (country music and the popular TV show about the town) are covered too, as are all of the colorful characters the town saw.
