Biographical/Historical Note
Since its beginning in 1924, the Days of '76 has been Deadwood's annual city celebration. Typically occurring over three or four days in July or August, the Days of ’76 celebration has attracted both local residents and tourists to its various events focused on the town’s early history as an 1876 Black Hills Gold Rush boom town. The most famous and long-lasting Days of ’76 events are the historical parade down Main Street and the award-winning Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo. Other events have included reenactments of the murder of Wild Bill Hickok and trial of Jack McCall, carnivals, pageants, chariot races, and mining demonstrations. The Days of ’76 celebration was first held on August 15 and 16, 1924. Facing Prohibition and the dwindling prosperity of local mines, Deadwood’s leaders sought to emphasize the town’s Gold Rush origins, honor its first residents, and increase its importance as a tourist destination. The Deadwood Business Club was instrumental in the organization of the first event. From the 1930s, the Days of ’76 celebration was administered by the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce and a Days of ’76 Executive Committee. In the 1970s, the Days of ’76 Committee became independent. The first Days of ’76 included an historic parade, historical reenactments, and horse riding and racing exhibitions. The parade, which continues to be featured in the annual celebration, has included a large number of historic reenactors, historic horse- and ox-drawn vehicles, and floats commemorating Deadwood’s early history. Historical vehicles, clothing, and memorabilia used in the parade and other Days of ’76 events were gathered into the Days of ’76 Museum in the 1970s. In 2013, the Days of ’76 Museum opened a new, state-of-the-art facility. The rodeo—the other mainstay of the Days of ’76—was firmly established by 1929. In the 1920s, the celebration featured exhibitions of horse riding and horse racing and the gradual addition of rodeo- style events. For many years, the rodeo continued to feature a variety of specialty acts in addition to adjudicated competitions. By the 1950s, the rodeo had become the premier event of the annual celebration. Championship cowboys from throughout the professional rodeo circuit have competed in Deadwood, including noted South Dakotan Casey Tibbs. The Days of ’76 Rodeo has been named the Rodeo of the Year by the PRCA numerous times in first the small rodeo and then the medium rodeo categories. As of 2016, the Days of ’76 Rodeo has been the PRCA Medium Rodeo of the Year for thirteen consecutive years.
Scope and Contents Note
This collection contains administrative and organizational records pertaining to Deadwood’s annual Days of ’76 celebration and dating from 1904 to 2012. The collection includes correspondence, financial records, contracts, event programs, promotional materials, analog and digital photographs, photographic
- Page 4 - Days of '76 Celebration Records, 1904-2012 5006 negatives, and video recordings. Since the Days of ’76 celebration was administered for many years by the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce, Chamber of Commerce minutes, annual reports, correspondence, and related administrative records are included in the collection. Nell Perrigoue, Chamber of Commerce executive secretary, figures prominently in the correspondence. The collection is arranged in three series: Administrative and Subject Files, Research Files, and Audiovisual Materials. The Administrative and Subject Files form the bulk of the collection and document the planning for and operations of the Days of ’76 celebration from 1924 to 2011. The series is arranged chronologically by decade, then alphabetically. Records include primarily correspondence, financial documents, contracts, and Chamber of Commerce records. Of particular note are files relating to the booking of rodeo competitors, specialty acts, and officials, as well as documentation on the Days of ’76 Museum. A group of files from the 1990s documents a legal case following a stagecoach accident during the 1990 celebration. The Research Files are predominantly photocopies and notes compiled by Suzanne Julin in the early 2000s in preparation for histories of the Days of ’76 celebration, local Native American communities, Days of ’76 vehicles, and the Don Clowser collection. The series also includes research notes of other Days of ’76 volunteers and staff and a small number of books. The series is minimally processed. Many photocopies include notations that link them to Julin’s histories. Most of the original documents copied by Julin are included in the Administrative and Subject Files series, but some are from other collections and archives. A memorandum explaining Julin’s research is included in the series and provides a good access point. One of Julin’s histories of the Days of ’76 is included in this series and others can be viewed in the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center’s vertical research files. The Audiovisual Materials series consists of analog and digital photographs, photographic negatives, slides, and video recordings dating from the 1920s to 2011. The series is arranged in subseries by medium. Each subseries is arranged alphabetically by subject and then chronologically.
