The grainy photographs, taken in the late 19th century in and around the notorious gold mining town of Deadwood, provide a unique, sepia-toned glimpse of the Wild West. The images were published in American papers this week after being released by the U.S. Library of Congress.

Deadwood — recently brought to life in an acclaimed TV drama series of the same name, starring Ian McShane — has gone down in legend as a riotous and lawless town that was home to the likes of ‘Wild Bill’ Hickok, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp.

Often times our imaginary version of history is a lot nicer and funner than reality, I think we need to understand real history, but I certainly don't blame people for indulging in pretend history for fun.

I've been meaning to give this thread a longer response, which it deserves. Remarkable photos.

I've been trying to figure out exactly how it could have been done differently that would have given a better result.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
