Thanks for the video. My son and I visited Deadwood more than once and always had a lot of fun there. Sadly my son passed away last year quite suddenly. Your video got me remembering some of the good times that my son and I shared together in Deadwood.

South Dakota is by far a state that is unforgettable, a state packed with history and beauty from the plains to the Black Hills, thanks Mr Mueler from Custer South Dakota my favorite teacher in school, he taught Mineralogy class at Douglass High in Ellsworth South Dakota in the "70's" you had a huge and great affect on my life, he is what makes South Dakota and the town of Custer in the Black Hills my favorite place forever. Every one should go there they will enjoy it.

The pencil portrait is awsome. The story of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill is awsome.

Fantastic, as an Australian and cannot get there, just watching the history is marvelous.

I’ve watched deadwood series four times. As soon as he said the Black Hills my heart instantly reached out for it. Last I binge watched it was right before the movie came out. Headed back.

Went to deadwood last year. Such a really cool place to visit and mount Rushmore is really close by too.

Awesome. I have been to Deadwood 2 times, but have never had time to locate Hickok's grave. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! Great video.... my Great grandparents lived in Deadwood in the 1880’s-90’s and are buried in Mt. Moriah cemetery. Hope to get their someday!

My Wife & I went to South Dakota several years ago & continually refer to it as one of are all-time fav destinations, although she felt uneasy in Deadwood I loved walking the streets & taking in all of the historic aspects of the city, so thanks for showing me some of the sites We weren't able to visit while there..😊🤙🏼

Loved this - with all the history we have here in the U.K. I'd love to visit Wild Bill's resting place . Cherish your history United States of America - It is your heritage and cannot be replaced .

[MrBsayres]

I really appreciate your love of history! Thank you and whatever crew you have (if any) for these adventures. I look forward to more...if you don’t mind me tagging along, virtually.

This was great. You are like an enthusiastic but not overbearing travel buddy. Thanks.

When my husband and I went to Deadwood a couple of years ago, they were having a parade that day. It was interesting to see covered wagons and stage coaches and horses going down the Main Street.

[mastermariner]

Absolutely cool. Loved the series "Deadwood". Great job JD. Seth Bullock was one heck of a character in him own right. Tough cookie.

Just finished catching up on all the previous videos you posted on your channel yesterday. I am very impressed. You speak of history in a manner that speaks volumes, while saying comparatively little, and give it all meaning and imagination. I am also amazed how you find music that just fits the videos you produce. I am subscribed to twenty channels, and yours by far is way above the rest. Yours is is my favorite, and deservedly so. When I am reading a book, it's like watching a movie in my mind. I read words but see things, events as they unfold. Your videos are like a book to me, only I don't see words, but sites and places that let my imagination soar. I thank you for that.
