(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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. Al: That he posed us no threat was the judgment you come to even as you fuckin’ snored. Dan: Turns on watch, Johnny, until this Goddamn Hearst business settles out. Al: And not that we lack options like the sleep from which none awaken. (Johnny turns and starts walking back to the Gem, revealing his bumcheeks peeking through his open flap) Would you close your flap, that I don’t forego my boiled eggs? (Upstairs in the Grand Central, Hearst finishes drawing up a letter, seals it with wax and hands it to Captain Turner, who leaves.

    Deadwood's Pioneer Merchant: Wong Fee Lee and His Wing Tsue Bazaar

    Copyright © 2009 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. EDITH C. WONG, EILEEN FRENCH, ROSE ESTEP FOSHA Deadwood’s Pioneer Merchant Wong Fee Lee and His Wing Tsue Bazaar As word of gold in the Black Hills spread across the country in the wake of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer’s 1874 expedition of discovery, thousands of fortune-seekers rushed into western Dakota Territory. Among the throngs hoping to profit from the new discov- eries were Chinese immigrants, many of whom were already adept at both mining gold and “mining the miners” by selling them goods and services. One of these individuals was Wong Fee Lee, who arrived in Deadwood in 1876 and over the next several decades became the most prominent member of the Black Hills Chinese community.1 Three con- tiguous properties where he lived, raised a family, and carried on his mercantile business and mining interests were located on lower Main Street in the National Historic Landmark city of Deadwood. His store, built in 1885, and an adjoining structure built in 1896 became historic properties known as the Wing Tsue (pronounced “wing-SHWAY”) buildings. From 1876 into the 1920s, three generations of the Wong 1.

    INVENTING INDIAN COUNTRY: RACE AND ENVIRONMENT IN THE BLACK HILLS 1851-1981 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Stephen R. Hausmann May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Andrew Isenberg, Advisory Chair, History Department, University of Kansas Seth Bruggeman, History Department Jessica Roney, History Department Bryant Simon, History Department Ari Kelman, External Member, University of California-Davis ABSTRACT In 1972, a flood tore through Rapid City, South Dakota, killing 238 people. Many whose lives and homes were destroyed lived in a predominately Native American neighborhood known as “Osh Kosh Camp.” This dissertation asks: why did those people lived in that neighborhood at that time? The answer lies at the intersection of the histories of race and environment in the American West. In the Black Hills region, white Americans racialized certain spaces under the conceptual framework of Indian Country as part of the process of American conquest on the northern plains beginning in the mid- nineteenth century. The American project of racializing Western spaces erased Indians from histories of Rapid City, a process most obviously apparent in the construction of Mount Rushmore as a tourist attraction. Despite this attempted erasure, Indians continued to live and work in the city and throughout the Black Hills. In Rapid City, rampant discrimination forced Native Americans in Rapid City to live in neighborhoods cut off from city services, including Osh Kosh Camp After the flood, activists retook the Indian Country concept as a tool of protest. This dissertation claims that environment and race must be understood together in the American West.
