Product Description:
Deadwood in the late 1800's was a rowdy mining town where fortunes were made overnight (and guarded with a Winchester). Local characters like Cold Deck Johnny, Slippery Sam, and Swill Barrel Jimmy rubbed elbows with the infamous Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickock. Preacher Smith, a "sky pilot without a compass" tried to keep everyone's souls in order while the author's father, Judge Bennett, upheld the law. The author grew up along with the town, and saw it change from a semi-permanent miner's camp to a real town when the railroad came. Full of real wild west exploits and notorious personages.

Excellent book and read. It is a first person account, which is always better than second hand by someone who actually did not experience the information. Gave me a better perspective of the actual daily life of someone who lived thru the times of Deadwood before it became a state. Highly recommend this book & all the other 'Narrativepress' books. After reading this, I purchased several more of these books.

I'm fascinated by Deadwood so I expected to like this. But I also thought it would be rather dry and amateurish, being an historical memoir. Anything but! She is a superb writer and this book is elegant and fascinating, full of wit and some amazing anecdotes.

It was very enjoyable to learn about the west in the days of Deadwood, the place, people and adventures. Ofcourse the real thing is not as exciting as the T.V. series, but I really enjoyed it because its what really happened.

Wonderful glimpse into history from a very bright young girl. Names of those long gone are brought back to life in this narrative. Highly recommend!

This book was excellent. Written through the eyes of a young girl growing up in Deadwood, it makes you feel as though you are there. I live in Deadwood now and it is interesting to actually see the streets and parts of town that were written about in this book.
