From rough & tumble Deadwood, Dakota Territory...



Item # 683684

July 27, 1889

DEADWOOD DAILY PIONEER, Black Hills, (South Dakota) July 27, 1889  This city would arguably be--along with Tombstone & Dodge City--one of the more famous of all the towns from the rough & tumble days of the Old West, and only rarely do such issues come to light. It attracted larger-than-life Old West figures including Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, and Wild Bill Hickok (who was killed there). "Union List of Newspapers" notes only two institutions have but scattered 19th century issues of this title.
Among the articles are: "Mine & Mill" "The Mining Element" "On The Belt" & more including a variety of local tidbits. Also a great wealth of illustrated advertisements.
Four pages, a few tape mends inside, very nice condition.
