Episode 19: Deadwood. Do You Even Fester, BRUH? Macabre Traveler
-
- Destinos y viajes
In this episode, we explore historic Deadwood and some of the peeps who have lived and died — and lived on — in this Wild West town. Made famous during the Gold Rush, this settlement became a city that “played by its own rules,” which means no rules. An entire city block was occupied by nothing but brothels, and prostitution was legal until the 1980s.
If you lived and/or died in Deadwood, you had to have a cool nickname. We discuss Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Poker Alice, and Potato Creek Johnny, and the resting place for most of them: Mount Moriah Cemetery.
Deadwood is a cool place to visit today, so check out our episode and, for patrons, the forthcoming snack and beverage pairing and travel itinerary!
This is our last episode of Season 1. We’re going on SUMMER BREAK, so we’ll catch you in the fall when LEAF FALL DOWN.
