"History is awesome because it allows the imagination great freedom.." ....I don't know that I've ever read a better reason to delve into history!! If you're a Deadwood history buff, I highly recommend

She wrote it in 1928. She grew up in Deadwood. Her Dad wad a territorial judge. She knew Bullock, Starr, and Jane personally. It's a fascinating read.

A Deadwood resident, Estelline Bennet, wrote 'Old Deadwood Days', a book about her childhood in 1880s Deadwood. While she calls it 'a work of fiction', it's very easy to see through the slightly changed names (Swearingen to Swearenger). She describes Al as a 'dark and low-browed character' and he gave her the impression of a old time melodrama villain.

From everything I have heard, he may not have been so much of an outright murderer, but he was a disgusting man. He tricked dozens of women by telling them they'd be his stars at the Gem, when in reality they were meant to entertain miners in another way. He also did not just 'employ' women. There was a cross-dresssing boy working with Swearingen that was apparently very popular at the camps.

I'd highly recommend looking into 'Deadwood's Al Swearingen: Manifest Evil in the Gem Theatre' by Jerry L. Bryant and Barbara Fifer. It is the most comprehensive retelling of Ellis' life that I can think of, as the author actually went to his relatives to get more info on his roots.

I had the version you posted, but I sold it and got the N. American release.

This one

I don't remember there being any sync issues with it?

I remember watching it all the way through, and even listening to some commentary tracks. So I would assume that all the extras are there as well, but I can't be 100% sure.

Michael Harney (Steve the Drunk) narrates the audiobook.

David Milch - 'Life's Work: A Memoir'

Try "Old Deadwood Days" It was written in 1928 by a lady that grew up in Deadwood in the 1870's. Her Dad was a territorial Judge. Fascinating read.

I bought the UK dvd boxset from Amazon and have had no issues with it. It was pretty cheap there for a while (couldn't find my boxset was gonna rebuy) but seems to have jumped up again.

I would check out the book Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman by David Wolff. Wolff is a good source for Black Hills history and I would recommend any of his books.

I love Black Hills history and have studied and worked in the history of Deadwood for about the 7 or so years. I don't mind the show, but I really only poke my head in here when I see people talking about historical Deadwood. The real history of the town is just as strange, or stranger than the show.

This is the one I have. There are audio commentaries on almost every episode, and some episodes have two sets of commentary with different cast/crew.

Olyphant's anecdotes on these are hilarious.

Deadwood by Pete Dexter is cited as an inspiration for the series. Charley Utter is its main character, and provides a unique lens through which to view the story we love.

Edit: Charley not Charlie
