Deadwood (Lakota: Owáyasuta; "To approve or confirm things") is a city that serves as county seat of Lawrence County, South Dakota, United States. It was named by early settlers after the dead trees found in its gulch. The city had its heyday from 1876 to 1879, after gold deposits had been discovered there, leading to the Black Hills Gold Rush. At its height, the city had a population of 25,000, attracting Old West figures such as Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, and Wild Bill Hickok (who was killed there).
The population was 1,156 at the 2020 census. The entire town has been designated as a National Historic Landmark District, for its well-preserved Gold Rush-era architecture. Deadwood's proximity to Lead often prompts the two towns being collectively named "Lead-Deadwood".

With each footstep on its brick-paved streets, across the tombstones of Western legends long dead and through its thick forests of dark ponderosa, Deadwood Gulch echoes with sounds of days past - the sounds of history.
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, the entire community of Deadwood is alive and vibrant with historic character over 125 years in the making. Since its founding in 1876, Deadwood has been synonymous with the Wild West. From its early days as a lawless gold camp to its transformation into a model Victorian community and a modern center for commerce and entertainment, the town has always had a legendary reputation unparalleled in the American West.Deadwood's birth was sudden. Thousands of faceless miners, muleskinners, lawmen, gunslingers and gamblers descended upon this narrow and rocky canyon in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory in 1876. They prospected, opened shops, built houses, drank, bet it all, lost fortunes and gained riches beyond their wildest dreams. It was America's last great gold rush.Legends were made almost overnight with a lucky shovelful of earth or turn of a card, but they were just as easily lost with a well-placed bullet. Wild Bill Hickok, frontier gunfighter, came to Deadwood with the other '76ers to seek his fortune. Thanks to a pistol shot to the back of his head, he never left. He sleeps on a hill overlooking the gulch to this day, next to the graves of Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, Potato Creek Johnny, Preacher Smith and hundreds of Deadwood's other legendary denizens.
But as the legends passed on, so did the gold. The ancient mansions, grand stone balconies and elegant brick façades began to decay. Deadwood seemed destined to turn into a ghost town, fading slowly into history like so many of its famous residents had done long ago...But it was not to be. In 1989, Deadwood became the third place in the United States (after Atlantic City and Nevada) to legalize gambling. Once again the brick-paved streets of Deadwood heard the thunder of pistol shots, the songs of slot machines and the click of chips against card tables. Once again people rushed to the sweet ponderosa-touched alpine air of Deadwood Gulch to seek their fortunes. And once again the beautiful Victorian buildings of Main Street, restored to their former glory, were filled with an air of elegance and grace.
Growth and change since 1989 has been regulated and limited by Deadwood's Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and City Commission. The town continues to too plan for each future while protecting its past. This is evident in the Comprehensive Plans and Master Plans it has developed over the years. For its part, the Historic Preservation Commission adopted standardized Design Guidelines for the Downtown Commercial District, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Rehabilitation and a comprehensive sign ordinance.

Deadwood, city, seat (1877) of Lawrence county, western South Dakota, U.S. Located just northeast of Lead and about 40 miles (65 km) northwest of Rapid City, Deadwood lies in a canyon formed by Whitewood Creek in the northern Black Hills, more than 4,530 feet (1,380 metres) above sea level. Built at the base of the steep wooded inclines of Deadwood Gulch and extending up the hillsides, it was named for the dead trees found in the canyon.
The city was founded during the 1876 gold rush, when about 25,000 miners swarmed the surrounding hills. Its turbulent reputation as a lawless outpost of frontier violence was magnified by the Deadwood Dick series of dime novels. Wild Bill Hickok, soldier, scout, and marshal, was killed in a Deadwood saloon on August 2, 1876, by Jack McCall. Hickok is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, near Calamity Jane, Preacher Smith, Seth Bullock, and other celebrated frontier characters who died in the vicinity; the reenactment of Hickok’s killing and the capture and trial of McCall is a popular tourist spectacle. A railroad link was completed in 1891, and Deadwood became a regional trading centre. Gambling was central to Deadwood’s history, but it was prohibited in 1905; gaming in Deadwood was again legalized, through a state referendum, in 1989.
The economy is driven largely by tourism, based primarily on dozens of gaming halls (many with Old West themes). Some ranching and lumbering also take place in the area. Deadwood is surrounded by Black Hills National Forest and has many outdoor recreational opportunities, including snowmobiling and skiing. The city itself is a national historic landmark. The Adams Museum has exhibits on local history, and the Broken Boot Gold Mine allows visitors to pan for gold and tour a historic underground mine. Inc. 1876. Pop. (2000) 1,380; (2010) 1,270.

Mount Moriah Cemetery on Mount Moriah in Deadwood, Lawrence County, South Dakota is the burial place of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock and other notable figures of the Wild West. By tradition, the American flag flies over the cemetery 24 hours a day, rather than merely from sunrise to sunset.
In the early years of Deadwood, there were two graveyards: The Ingelside Cemetery, which was part of the way up Mount Moriah and was filled quickly in the first few years it was open, and the Catholic Cemetery. Many prospectors, miners, settlers, prostitutes and children were buried within the Ingelside Cemetery, alongside Wild Bill Hickok and Preacher Smith.
In the 1880s it was determined that the land where Ingelside Cemetery was located could be better used for housing. Most of the bodies there were moved up the mountain to Mount Moriah and re-interred. However, since many graves were unmarked or unknown some were not moved. Today it is not uncommon for people working in their garden or remodelling a basement or shed to find human bones as a leftover from the Ingelside Cemetery days.
Mount Moriah's main attraction is Wild Bill's gravesite. Calamity Jane and Potato Creek Johnny are buried next to him.

I acquired nearly 4 lbs of nearly expired strawberries, and promptly turned them into this Maple Strawberry Butter from FoodInJars.
I used my Crockpot, which is much newer and larger than the one used in the recipe. This probably explains why the berries cooked down to ketchup consistency in ~9 hours, instead of 18!
When I was a tiny girl, my mom would always pick me up and set me beside her in her large comfy chair. I would curl up in her lap, holding a piece of her silky nightgown (the one I am wearing in the photo) or robe in my hand as I fell asleep. It was so comforting for some reason and to this day relaxes me if I feel restless. I am no longer small enough to fit in anyone's lap, nor do I have my mother or the chair, but I find the same comfort in the memory of her and the love she had for me. I miss my mother so much these days and so, naturally, this prompt brought about memories of her before any others. :)
The project is developed using various pre-set text-to-image models, processing text prompt inputs. On the borderline between sensitive content and an easy slip into topics of violence, this project visualizes the depths of the subconscious of these models, excavating the influences of media and online information exchange. The quantified traces of reality and collective histories allow algorithms to generate content that recycles the past – building the spine of quasi-historical narratives – often obfuscated with prejudice and misinformation, along with the author’s personal bias. Generated outputs are presented inside a hypertext object – a tent that the audience can enter, as it were.

I decided to do something a little different today. I used a journal prompt from my sweet friend, Zura, (you can find the blog post here: www.creativeclown.com/imagine-a-woman-2/
So I found a cool image in one of my Dover Publications clip art books (got in a swap on Nervousness) used tissue paper that was wrapped around some pears I bought today at the market, gold foil from a chocolate bar Hayden and I split and an image from a Yugi-Oh! card (Blue eyes white dragon, I think!). I smooshed about 3 layers of tissue paper on the pages with gel medium, pasted the images and foil on with more gel medium, painted the tissues with shimmering acrylic paint (just the cheap stuff!) and played around with the liquid wax my Mum gave me for my birthday (Thanks Mum!). I want everything to be good and dry before I do some journaling and lettering on it. I'm really digging how it turned out. Thanks for the prompt Zura!! xoxoxo

Just a quick pick snapped by the piano pedals right before going to sleep, because we were visiting grandsweeties and got to see our very newest grandsweetie for the very first time. No time to play with dolls.

A striking wildlife photograph captures a large owl with intricate brown, white, and black feather patterns in mid-flight on a dark gray, textured fallen log covered in golden yellow and brown autumn leaves. The owl dominates the foreground, its wings fully extended to reveal the complex pattern of feathers on both sides. Its bright yellow eyes are fixed directly at the camera, creating an intense gaze that draws immediate attention. The owl's head features distinctive black markings around its eyes and neck, contrasting sharply with its lighter facial plumage. The lighting is soft yet artificial, highlighting the details of the owl's feathers and yellow claws while casting gentle shadows, enhancing the dramatic effect. The midground consists of a dense forest floor blanketed by fallen leaves, adding depth and texture to the scene. In the background, tall trees with bare branches stand against a deep midnight blue night sky, their silhouettes barely visible due to the darkness. A bright full moon illuminates the scene from above center, casting a soft glow over the landscape and creating high contrast between light and shadow. This natural moonlight provides the primary source of illumination, revealing intricate details of the owl's feathers and the texture of the fallen leaves. The composition centers on the owl, creating a captivating focal point amidst the serene yet mysterious woodland setting.
DALL-E 2024 prompt:
The scene is set in a 16:9 widescreen format, within an atelier in an old, worn-down building. A white robot painter is in the center of the room, actively painting one of the younger models on a canvas. The models are standing along the right wall, both with long, messy black hair and worn clothes. This widescreen image captures both the models in the background and the white robot painter in the foreground, emphasizing the contrast between the rustic human element and the sleek mechanical nature of the robot. Atmospheric lighting highlights the textures of the old building and the subjects.
365/123 I am ready to take writing seriously in 2014. This is our jar of writing prompts, we draw one out each night that we write.
January 8, 2023: I wasn’t going to continue with the @rachelastorauthor #prompts from her @dailyom course, WRITING TO UNCOVER THE AUTHENTIC SELF, but decided I would continue for a few more days as it ventures into something I’ve not touched upon much before as part of my #subversive #selfie #project - #employment #work. I wrote a bit about working at the @ksacouncil on January 7, and it seems apropos to continue that exploration here. Specifically, todays prompt asked me to: “List as many past jobs that you've held as you can think of.”
My earliest memory of volunteering was helping my Mum with the Pancake Breakfasts that were a part of the @williamslakestampede on the stampede grounds.
Also when I was a kid, my Dad hired me to work at his medical office on Borland Street in the @cityofwilliamslake. Every Saturday, I was tasked with weeding the garden beds and keeping the lot clean of any garbage or debris. When I was done that I could come inside and work behind the front counter - greeting patients, pulling their file and escorting them into his office when their appointment time came.
Every August as a kid, I’d help two family friends who were local school teachers, Judy Reed and Marilyn Shore, setup their elementary school classrooms for the new semester. I’d do light cleaning, posting stuff to the walls, and whatever else was needed. I’d help out throughout the year too doing similar work.
Probably when I was in grade 5, I started helping my Mum to cut the grass with an old electric mower they had. I remember the long orange extension cord that ran from the house to the mower, having to be careful not to run it over.
I’ll write more tomorrow about the jobs I had as a teenager.
This is post 8 of my subversive selfie project for 2023.
