Mount Moriah Cemetery

The most important event in Deadwood, South Dakota history was a poker game in Saloon #10 on August 2, 1876, where the sniveling coward Jack McCall snuck up and shot Wild Bill Hickok in the back of the head. Hickok had arrived in Deadwood only a few weeks earlier, played a succession of card games, and never in his life sat with his back to the door. Until that day. 

Above the town, on a ridge, tourists can visit the graves of Wild Bill and Calamity Jane in Mount Moriah Cemetery.
