The Romance and Reality of DeadwoodDEADWOOD – The Romance and Reality of Deadwood's past will be the focus of a two-day academic summer camp to be held May 30 and 31, 2013, and sponsored by Black Hills State University (BHSU). It is open to students, entering 8th grade or higher, and their parents (or grandparents). The camp will be led by Dr. David Wolff, BHSU professor of history and dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and Kelly Kirk, BHSU instructor of history. Through walking tours, driving explorations and classroom discussions, these two Western history specialists will explore many aspects of Deadwood's history, including why the town survived when so many other Western boomtowns disappeared, who made up Deadwood's social fabric, how violent was Deadwood compared to other Western towns, and how Deadwood changed over time. Students will hike up Deadwood's Main Street, through Mt. Moriah Cemetery, and to the Roosevelt Tower on Mt. Roosevelt. Surrounding gold camps will also be visited in order to place Deadwood within the context of the Black Hills gold rush. The camp will culminate at the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center (HARCC) with discussions on historical research and historic preservation activities in Deadwood.
