Jim Levy, Irish Jewish Gunfighter of the Old West
Jim Levy, Irish Jewish Gunfighter of the Old West By William Rabinowitz It’s been a few quite a few years since Chandler, our grandson, was a little boy. His parents would come down with him every winter, free room and board, and happy Grandparents to baby sit. I doubt they actually came to visit much with the geriatrics but it was a free “vacation”. It is not always sun and surf and pool and hot in Boynton Beach, Fl. Sometimes it is actually cold and rainy here. Today was one of those cold and rainy days. Chandler has long since grown up into a typical American young person more interested in “connecting” in Cancun than vegetating in Boynton Beach anymore. I sat down on the sofa, sweatshirt on, house temperature set to “nursing home” hot, a bowl of popcorn, diet coke and turned on the tube. Speed channel surfing is a game I used to play with Chandler. We would sit in front of the T.V. and flip through the channels as fast as our fingers would move. The object was to try and identify the show in the micro second that the image flashed on the screen. Grandma Sheila sat in her sitting room away from the enervating commotion. She was always busy needle- pointing another treasured wall hanging that will need to be framed and sold someday at an estate sale. With my trusty channel changer at my side, I began flipping through the stations, scanning for something that would be of interest as fast as possible.

Episode 2 – “Deep Water”
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! That’s the guy over there.

Al: My leg and arm are waxy. Doc: How they feel to you is not the relevant measure. I judge objectively the way they respond to stimuli, and they are much fucking improved. In the overall, Sir, I call you a miracle. (Al arches an eyebrow at Doc.) --- (Al rings the bell, still in his office. Downstairs, Dan and Johnny are busy at the bar, they look up at the sound of the bell. The door to his office opens and Doc steps out…) Doc: Ready to meet the world. (Johnny smiles like a little boy at Christmas.) --- (Outside the Bella Union, Cy and Wolcott are puffing on cigars…) Cy: How much longer you suppose I’ll be buying claims, Mr. Wolcott? Wolcott: We’re close to the end. Cy: Otherwise, I’ll need to start dancin’ out here in long johns or bayin’ at the moon—give people some idea of why I’m going against logic. Wolcott: This phase is nearly over, even as another begins.

Kaitlyn Weldon HIST 4903 Dr. Logan 7 December 2017 The Black Hills in Color “Here’s to the hills of yesterday, Here’s to the men they knew, Hunters, Miners, and Cattlemen And Braves of the wily Sioux. 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.

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.
