Old Deadwood Days
by Estelline Bennett
For roughnecks in search of trouble, Deadwood was the place to go. An outlaw town, its very beginnings as a mining camp violated government treaties with the Sioux. Deadwood soon acquired a reputation that dime novels could hardly exaggerate. To reform the town's notorious habits, Federal Judge Grandville G. Bennett moved to Deadwood with his family in 1877, and his young daughter, Estelline, grew up with the town. Her story of the settlement that grew up around Deadwood Gulch remains one of the finest and fullest accounts of the taming of the west.
