"It's Okay" according to Three Percenter. I bought it after watching Deadwood Series, in hopes of continuing the disappointingly cancelled Series, or maybe reading the Series but having more detail that books offer over tv/movies. This is not the case. It has nothing to do with the Series, but that's ok with me, since the Series was highly inaccurate to the real history as often is with such shows, as entertainment is the key to that game, and living in Deadwood in it's real time could not have been too entertaining. The book is a slow, pay attention read at times . "Gritty, humorous account of historic mining town" according to L. Bahin.

But in this town of played-out miners, bounty hunters, upstairs girls, Chinese immigrants, and various other entrepeneurs and miscreants, he finds himself pursued by a vicious sheriff, a perverse whore man bent on revenge, and a besotted Calamity Jane

Fortunately, this is mostly the story of his constant companion, Charley, a man of sapient insight and, though less famous than his friend, of extensive and varied experience.

From Library Journal In 1876 William "Buffalo Bill" Hickok and Charley Utter rode into Deadwood, a hellish frontier settlement in the Black Hills.
