The Real Deadwood Podcast with Paul Dennis

Historical archaeologist Jerry Bryant, Research Curator at Deadwood's Adams Museum & House, takes Real Deadwood Podcast host Paul Dennis on a tour of some of Deadwood's historic trails in his Yamaha Rhino four-wheel-drive ATV, nicknamed the Doodlebug. Starting in Mt. Moriah Cemetery, they drive to the very top to visit the grave of Seth Bullock and his wife. Then they drive down the back of Mt. Moriah to a site that was severely burned during the Grizzly Gulch fire of 2002, which came dangerously close to devastating the town of Deadwood. After a stop at a scenic overlook, they explore the rail bed of the first trains to come into Deadwood in the 1880s.

The collection includes a number of historically priceless pieces including the 1860 Colt conversion pistol reportedly worn by Hickok when he was killed at the Saloon No. 10 on August 2, 1876 in Deadwood.

Every August as many as 400,000 bikers come to the Black Hills of South Dakota for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. There is a huge spillover into all the communities of the Black Hills including Deadwood. Here is a glimpse of how Deadwood looks and sounds on one of the last days of the rally. The audio for this video is recorded binaurally, which means stereo microphones were positioned on either side of the head like human ears. The result is that, when listening with headphones, instead of the sound seeming to be inside your head, the sound is outside your head exactly as recorded.
