[edit] Kill the HBO Show references please
Referencing the show Deadwood in the first paragraph makes about as much sense as immediately referencing Oliver Stone's movie JFK in the John F Kennedy article.
[edit] What kind of cancer caused Bullocks death?
I don't suppose in 1919 they tracked what kind of cancer killed someone? I've been searching google for awhile but can only find that Seth Bullock died of "cancer", no specificaiton of lung, pancreatic etc...
Anyone able to find more specific info?

- I haven't seen anything specific; however it should be noted that lung cancer was at that time very rare, a typical doctor might go through his career without seeing a single case, so unlike it would be today, that's not a top contender.Gzuckier 17:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Need there be so many references to the HBO show? I think one at the end of the article is fair. Did HBO interns right these articles?
[edit] Brutal forms of prostitution?
Didn't want to edit this if its a turn of phrase I'm just not familiar with, but I'm not at all sure what this is supposed to be referring to, "...the most brutal forms of prostitution." Gheorghe Zamfir 04:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wild Bill Hickok's murder
According to Encyclopeadia Britannica, Jack McCall, the murderer of Wild Bill Hickok, was convicted of murder and hanged on March 1, 1877. His motive for the murder was never learned. Could this article be influenced too much by the television series?
That's true ... but he was hung in Yankton, South Dakota after a 2nd trial convicted him. McCall was acquitted in Deadwood of killing Hickok, left town (quickly!), but made the mistake of bragging about killing Hickok wherever he went and was subsequently arrested again for Hickok's murder and convicted.
