    I didn't realize Deadwood was down in between hills like that.

    I always pictured Deadwood more like Fort Worth but smaller. Salt Lake City hadn't changed much by the 1940's when I was in high school and washing dishes in the finest hotel in the State, Hotel Utah, across the street from from the famous Temple Square.
