Sunday afternoon we decided to drive over to Deadwood and visit Mt. Moriah Cemetery. The amount of history is simply too much to absorb in one trip so we will definitely return. $2 per person to enter and that goes into the ongoing history research of who is buried there.
Walking up the main road you come to the grave of Wild Bill Hickok. Legends abound but the fact that he was shot at age 39 is what struck me the most.
Google this character. I've seen the mining equipment he used but this man was a true "character" of the old west.
A better picture of the Wild Bill gravesite. Born in Troy Grove, IL.
View to the northwest from Mt. Moriah.
This speaks for itself.
