Great stuff. Wild Bill was shot dead in a saloon in Deadwood, which sounds like a good place to die...and Jane always claimed that she went after his killer with a meat cleaver of all things!

Deadwood... Boot Hill... Tombstone... why are the Western movies at the drive-in in the 60's coming to mind?! I like the POV, Clive

We spend a bit of time looking for dead people ... I wish they were all so well marked! (I mean, it's easy to find dead people, they don't move around a lot, but when you're looking for a specific dead person, a really tall memorial stone would be a big help!) Great image!

this is wonderful. a preacher one time was there and he wrote in his diary that that a woman pick up the money for him and he wrote that if she thought a man was not giveing rnoght money she looked at him mean and he put more money into the plate. The preacher say that was the offer-son he ever got . he find out it was Calamity Jane that pick up the money for him.

The cemetery is called Mt.Moriah in the town of Deadwood, South Dakota. It is 200 yards above my house on the hill side. It is a lovely place to see.
