    Episode 2 – “Deep Water” (In front of the Grand Central Hotel, men are felling a tree using ropes to guide it.) Lumberjack: Hold it, now keep attention on it boys! That’s it! (EB emerges from the hotel pushing a wheelbarrow full of laundry – he’s heading for Mr. Wu’s. We see Tim Driscoll’s dog come running after him. When EB gets to the pig sty, we see Mr. Wu raking the mud around the pen and hear the pigs squealing – he watches EB approach.) E.B.: “Washee” (Holding up some of the linens) Mr. Wu: “Washee” (EB reveals the body of Tim Driscoll in the cart under the linens.) EB: “Eat-ee” (Camera pans to the pigs, EB points to the barking dog) His doggy, them “eat-ee” too, or, “eat-ee” him yourself, you leering heathen. (Smiles, laughs and leaves.) --- (Up in Al’s bedroom, he and Trixie are sleeping – Al sits up, Trixie remains asleep. We hear the chattering of the lumberjacks outside, Al gets up and – yup, pisses in his chamber pot. He looks out the window and sees the men fell the tree. He spots EB approaching. Al, finished pissing, picks up the gun Trixie left on his bedside table – Trixie opens her eyes.) Al: Is this for me? Trixie:Brought it for you. Al: (Throws back the covers off a naked Trixie) Get out. --- (Back out on the street – one man is talking excitedly to another.) Hoople head: Pointed the gun at him! Boom, shot him right over there!

Men who rode the lonely trails And camped by the gold-washed streams, Forced the land to accept their brand And suffered the birth of a brave new land… Here’s to their valiant dreams.”1 The Black Hills began as a serene, sacred place to the Native Americans.2 The only color for miles was the dark green trees that gave the Black Hills their name.3 In time, the gold rush would move into the area, introducing many new colors to the region. The colors included red, yellow, black, and white. There were many culturally diverse cities within the Black Hills, and many famous, colorful characters came out of these hills, such as Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane. The Dakota Gold Rush was a tumultuous time in American history, but it was only one of many 19th century, gold rushes that created many tales about the Wild West. The United States (US) government had some interest initially in these rushes because they occurred in territories 1 Martha Groves McKelvie, The Hills of Yesterday, (Philadelphia: Dorrance & Company, Inc., 1960), cover page. 2 McKelvie, The Hills of Yesterday, 18-19. 3 Frederick Whittaker, A Complete Life of General George A.

    Roosevelt’s death in January 1919 was a blow to his old friend. Bullock enlisted the help of the Society of Black Hills Pioneers to erect a monument to Theodore Roosevelt on Sheep Mountain, later renamed Mt. Roosevelt. It was the first monument to the president erected in the country, dedicated July 4, 1919. Bullock died just a few months later in September at the age of 70. His burial plot resides on a small plateau above Seth Bullock Mt. Moriah Cemetery, with a view of Roosevelt’s monument across the gulch. Photograph of Seth Bullock circa 1890-1900.

  • Bullock Hotel
    Bullock Hotel: History: Seth Bullock was born on July 23, 1849 in Canada (Amherst or Etobicoke) to George Bullock (a retired British Major) and Agnes Findley (Originally from Scotland) When Seth was 16 he ran away from home and moved in with his sister in Montana. The legend is that was forced to move back home by his sister. He moved to Helena Montana in 1867 when he was 2 twenty years’ old. Seth ran for territorial Legislature but was defeated. He eventually ran for territorial Senate and served from 1871‐1872. He was one of the people involved in the creation of Yellowstone national park on March 1, 1872. Seth Bullock After his term in the territorial Senate, Seth was elected as Sheriff of Lewis and Clark County in 1873. While he was serving his term, he was injured by a gunshot to the arm by a man named Clel Watson, who had stolen a horse. After Mr. Watson’s trial he was on the gallows about to be hanged when a mob showed up and scared away the executioner. It is said that Mr. Bullock climbed up the gallows and held the mob off while pulling the lever for the execution himself. Seth partnered with Solomon “Sol” Star to from the Star & Bullock Auctioneers and Commission Merchants. They set up shop in Helena, Montana. The Star & Bullock Hardware Store Seth married Martha Eccles in 1874. She was his childhood sweetheart; however, he had his wife and baby girl sent back to her family home in Michigan until he could settle in his new area.

    Oceánide 9 2017 Fecha de recepción: 30 enero 2017 Fecha de aceptación: 14 febrero 2017 Fecha de publicación: 27 abril 2017 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art9-1.pdf Oceánide número 9, ISSN 1989-6328 La atrayente degradación del mito nacional: Deadwood, un western post 11-S Ignacio FERNÁNDEZ DE MATA (Universidad de Burgos, España) RESUMEN: Producida y emitida entre 2004 y 2006, la serie Deadwood, de HBO, alcanzó ribetes míticos y generó irredentos adeptos pendientes de una conclusión definitiva tras el cierre en falso de sus tres temporadas. Quizás la principal razón de su éxito —más allá de las impecables actuaciones de sus villanos— radica en su brutal actualización de uno de los mitos principales de la identidad norteamericana: el salvaje oeste y su mundo de pioneros rebosantes de hipermasculinidad y providencialismo cristiano. Con un sentido dramático muy realista, la serie presenta los conflictos de una comunidad de frontera en la que la ley que se impone es la darwiniana supervivencia del más fuerte —o el más listo—. La cosmovisión nada autocomplaciente de la serie y el cinismo y debilidad moral de casi todos sus personajes resuena con la sociedad post 11-S del espectador, sobrecogida por la fragilidad que ha descubierto en sí misma. Este artículo se centra en el análisis de las relaciones y construcciones identitarias —en sus distintos niveles y roles—, de esta sociedad de frontera, asentada sobre el conflicto, la desigualdad y la explotación más descarnada, en donde no hay lugar para la consabida “inocencia americana” (Fredericks & Bacevich, 2014: n.pag.), y donde la coincidencia de los intereses personales parece ser el pilar vertebrador de la comunidad.

Eighty Years of Vegetation and Landscape Changes in the Northern Great Plains: A Photographic Record. U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Conser- vation Research Report No. 45. This publication is a photographic record of vegetation and landscape changes that have occurred at selected sites in the Northern Great Plains over the past 80 to 90 years. Based on photographic and written records, the authors found few changes had taken place other than (1) a general increase in the density and cover of woody plant species, particularly Ponderosa pine; (2) those resulting from direct human intervention, such as tillage, haying, and road con- struction; and (3) a general increase in nonindigenous spe- cies, particularly yellow sweet clover and created wheat- grass, as they escape from roadside restoration projects and agronomic plantings.

  • Episode 26: “I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For.”
    Episode 26: “I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For.” Directed by: Dan Attias Written by: David Milch and Regina Corrado Transcribed by Cristi Brockway Free Fuckin’ Gratis for the Fans. (Late at night, Al lays awake in bed, we hear a drunken hooplehead in the thoroughfare speechifying…) Hooplehead: I am not the fine man you take me for. No no. (He paces back and forth in front of the hustings…climbing up as Al turns to his side in bed.) I come in April to sell a string of horses and try my luck in the streams. What I got for the stock I lost at the wheel, and the flake I washed up I drank the fuck away. I don’t know as I’ll get home at all. I sold my boots. I owe $9 to a whore. (The wood creaks as the man tumbles over the side of the hustings, breaking his neck as he lands in the muck of the thoroughfare. Al awakens early the next morning, and looks out the window. Moments later, He, Dan, and Johnny are surveying the scene in the nearly deserted thoroughfare.) Johnny: It looks like he fell off the platform. Dan: It’s just a broke-necked hoople, Al.
