When did Simon stop hosing?
Keep up the Good work. Great presentation and mixture of pictures that flowed with the narrative.
As someone who grew up in the area, I can safely add that Deadwood has a reputation for being the Las Vegas of South Dakota even in the present day. There is a main strip that has multiple fancy casinos and hotels. My parents took me to Deadwood many times to watch my mom's favorite Elvis impersonator. And I've driven through Deadwood and the Deadwood Gulch many times in my travels though the Black Hills. It's a strange mix of historical and gaudy. This definitely gives the town a unique character. I'm not much of a Casino goer, I've always been more interested in the historical aspects of the town.
I'm with you. I live in Vegas and have never understood the allure of casinos myself. Haven't been to Deadwood since the '70s and I only remember the history stuff and scenery. Beautiful corner of the world there.
We were just in Deadwood and were very impressed with the Adams Museum. (Yeah, history nerds here.)
This comment thread has convinced me to visit Deadwood.
I know this city thanks to the documentary Lost Worlds on The History Channel. It's hard to believe that The History Channel has fallen so much since that time. I grew up watching Mail Call, Dogfights and Universe. I saw the golden era and I remember they made a special schedule for the Beijing Olympics. I really miss Mail Call.
Now they just promote pseudo science. I hate Ancient Aliens so much.
@@geographicstravel I hate it too.
Mail Call and the Beijing Olympics schedule were lone exceptions, by then 85-90% of History Channel’s content had already been a pseud0-scientific sh*tshow for a while - they for sure have never aired anything history-related content that wasn’t a s3nsationalizing tr4shy/tacky rendition….which, given the channel name itself, makes them a complete (bad) joke.
@@LucienSabre For years I have been looking for the documentary about China's first emperor. It's a two-part documentary that I've been looking for for years.
LOL! Calling Deadwood a city is a bit of a stretch. It was a boom town. Here today, gone tomorrow. Cheers from Tennessee
Got that pan in my hand and a gleam in my eye
Now do a jig!
Coolio

Haven’t seen any geographic videos in a while, what happened to Simon?
Love how you're shaping up, Eric 👍🏻 keep it up
Thanks! I'm starting to notice that there are just some scripts I get more excited about than others. I try to insert some commentary here and there, but I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit.
@@geographicstravelI do prefer your way over Karl’s. I find his tangents can take away from the material so I appreciate your straightforward manner.
Does Simon not do this channel anymore?
@@geographicstravelI’m an educated fool with money on my mind. Got my pan in mah hand, and a gleam in mah eye!
Not for a while, horrible management led him to leave this channel and biographics@@morbosmeatshack
Loved, loved, loved the HBO series.
Ian McShane was mesmerizing.
Nice thanks love your content maybe you could do one on tombstone or dodge city
The Warner Bros. movie musical Calamity Jane (1953), starring Doris Day, was set in Deadwood city.
One of my fave old movies 💜
Great show guys well written presented and edited keep up the brilliant work,
Good stuff Eric. Was able to follow along nicely and it was easy to understand
Been there. Very cool
What was it like?
@geographicstravel incredible. Went into that tavern where he was shot. They had a hand dealt out with Aces and 8s near the door (he came late, and that was the only open seat. He usually refused to sit with his back to the door). And I visited where he used to be buried. Apparently, he was moved somewhere. But don't remember where.
Love your content guys! Please do agincourt
I'll look into it. ;)
@@geographicstravel Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@danielsantiagourtado3430JAW-SOME!!!!
Loved this!
Really enjoyed this
Fun facts: Brothels actually operated (illegally) in Deadwood all the way up to 1980!
Gambling was reintroduced/legalized in 1989. The original Deadwood city limits are the only place in South Dakota it's legal gamble on table games or sports other than Indian reservations.
Gambling never stopped in Deadwood, it went underground (literally) into the abandoned Chinese opium dens below the streets. If you knew the right people you could get in.
Awesome work on this video. :D The Wild West has a unique way of fueling the imagination. Probably because everyone wants to live in an era of exploration and discovery, but there is little left for us to explore on Earth today.
luv this
That’s what I’m talking about my dude on the trifecta. I love the chick that runs these channels. Thank you for listening to us.
She's gonna be doing some hosting soon too.
First heard of Deadwood thanks to the old Calamity Jane film with Doris Day 😅
Me,too! Boy,howdy-they sure worked the beJesus outta the term "artistic license" with THAT movie!!!
@@katherinethegreat 🤣 historical accuracy gave them a vague wave as it floated by on the sea of creativity
Amazing video, as always...maybe you could do the romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu on Biographics
I'll see if anyone's interested in writing that one.
YES!YES!@@geographicstravel
Yeah, losing me without Simon
Dude deserves to have some of this load lifted off him, has to be exhausting doing all these channels and vids
Where did he go?
@@1randomfatdudeprobably to one of his million other channels/ventures haha
I think they'll manage
@@1randomfatdudewell, he sure ain't here anymore.
"They're more guide line then actual rules" - Hector Barbosa. Where is Simon?
If you have not seen the HBO series, you owe it to yourself to give it a watch. One of the finest series ever put on t.v. imo. The dialog is engaging, but be warned, the profanity and brutality are practically their own characters.
That show turned swearing into an Shakespearian art form, especially Al.
Hello from Huron South Dakota 😊
I think Deadwood got its name from what happened to Wild Bill whenever he was around Calamity Jane
I am now on the west coast but I grew up in the Black Hills and will always consider them home 💜 Interesting video, thanks!
One thing i love about American history, particularly the Wild West is how it's old enough to be essentially alien to us today but still close enough to relate to.
Having access to film is amazing, that closeness to real history.
Also we have literal records and letters, newspapers and such as well as the word of mouth.
Fascinating period and people.
Can you make a video on Quake Lake in montana,USA from 1959?
Would love this.
I moved cross country a few years back and made a pit stop in deadwood. Definitely worth checking out.
Video from the basement looking up?
I grew up in Deadwood, we used to go to the top of my street and hike up into Mt. Moriah cemetery at night.
Bravo ! ❤
Pretty cool place. Lots of history. Wife and I went there in 2015 and even stayed in the Bullock Hotel.
Super cool- I was there in 2015! Not the hotel. We had a family compound in Spearfish Canyon,till last year.I could spend a forty hour workweek at Deadwood Dick's!!!
smallwood should've done this one...
Interesting, I read Swearengen died penniless and broke in SF but Denver makes more sense. Top10 shows of all time for me. I was so happy when they finally made the movie. They even brought back the same crew member to make it; camera, light, carps, audio, etc….
Deadwood motto"loose women tightened here".🤣🤣😂😂🤗🤗
You should do tombstone and talk about Nelly Cashman
Great tv series too!!!
Jack Langrishe married Jeannette Allen who was a Great Great Aunt of mine. She was a Great Granddaughter of Ethan Allen of Revolutionary war fame. Jack and Jeannette moved around the West for some time before winding up in the Silver Valley in Idaho. He was the first Representative from Ward er I believe to the first Idaho State Legislature. He may have been involved with the Idaho Territorial legislature. Jeannette had a much younger brother or Nephew named Lester Allen my Great Grandmother's Brother. He was a participant in the Johnson County, Wyoming Range War on the side of the small ranchers. Interesting group in a very interesting time.
Fun fact: six regulars on "Deadwood" guested on ":Lost".
"Space Cowboy!"
"He's bad, he's number one,
He's a Space Cowboy with a laser gun 🔫 " 🎵🎹🎼
I've thrown up In the parking lot of the visitor center here plenty of times, it is definitely a fun town to cut loose in lol
WRONG! See, I was on my horse when it threw the shoe and I got throwed off! And that caused me to bust a perfectly good bottle of fine Kentucky red-eye! So the way I figure it, blacksmith, you owe me five dollars for the whiskey and $75 dollars for the horse!
Not quite the charismatic tornado that Simon is, but he’s growing on me.
Your talking about a bed pan. Right
Enjoyed the video! For next time, "placer" (mining) rhymes with "passer," not "pacer." 🙂
My thoughts as well from Dundee scotland
Interesting
I've been there twice 46 years apart
Many say that dead man’s hand has changed over time and is probably bs.
No unauthorized cinnamon
Yay the good host!
Pan in my hand and a gleam in my eye 😂
As someone who lived in deadwood, its cool to see it on the channel.
Also, as someone who has lived here a long time, people should know that almost everyone out here hates the Sioux. Not because they are native, but because they are just absolutely rude and mean people, if anything being racist themselves. Other Native American tribes/nations even hate them because of it as well as their history. The Sioux kicked other tribes out of the hills and plains, so the fact they complain about the US is kinda hypocritical. I will say though, the US is in no way justified for the blatant genocide of unarmed Native Americans. Sad to say, how the US handled the push west, was hitlers inspiration. So we have a very dark past but I just figured that I would share a first person view of things out here.
What happened to Simon Whistler?
One the the greatest shows on HBO. (Sopranos being The best)
The Natives didn't ignore the deadline. The deadline was in January, and it was impossible for them to travel at all in the dead of the Plains winter. The government did that deliberately.
Beautiful area. We went through Dead Wood while at Sturgis rally. Would love to go back, not during the rally.😂
Haven't been watching what happened to Simon?
So keeps does regrow hair but also changes your voice?
Wow Simon, you look different 😅
Simon just makes these channels and sells em kinda forgets about us sadd mann
Something to me says they made the city in national landmark to really upset the natives that they never let back on the land.
'Placer'- its pronounced 'plasser'.
What do you mean by “technically” belonged to them?
Miss Simon
WTF where’s Simon
🇺🇸
Everyone keeps talking about the astriod that wiped out the dinosaurs they never talk about the one that happened 1 million years later that was the largest of all astriod hits twice the size. Please do a video of it.
Who is this guy??
Placer is pronounxed "plasser" when referring to the type of mining.
Jack McCall. Top 5 coward of all times
Where the hell is simon
He left half a year ago, try to keep up
Was looking forward to hearing about Deadwood but had to inject politics into it.
Landback.
What happened to Karl?
I think they said before they share narrative duties based on personal interests in the scripts available
@@BigChucka419 ahh i see, i must of missed that bit of info. Thanks for letting me know
He's also in the process of moving
Simon given up on his actual good channels hey?
Wtf happened to Simon man he's the best thi dude makes me sleep where is the enthusiasm at sad day
Missing that bald Brit. Just found it easier to start interested. Maybe it’s the accent, don’t know.
Like 300
I don't mind the new guys.
But what happened with Simon?
I guess it's been awhile since I've watched a new geographic upload. Yikes
Sounds like something Israel would do
All hale distant cousin Custer! Boooo
Hated this
When yall get a host with substance and doesnt sound like an 80s HR information video hmu. Yall can be doing the situation room and bring him back to this stuff so it actually sounds interesting and not like youre being forced to...Yall sound like my 8th grade history teacher
Quite an...interesting town.
Al Swearengen probably ran into the brothers or nephews or cousins of some of the women he tricked. Not a loss.
Who the fuck is this? Not into it!
As a non-American, where is Deadwood? You keep saying Dakota Territories, but there is a North and South. Maybe keep the non-Americans in mind when doing videos.
American accent no good for documentary 😕
Not a fan of this host. Karl and Simon are much more entertaining and enjoyable.
I am getting quite tired of Simon's patronizing attitude. Thanks for the change of presenter.
You do know you're not legally required to watch Simon's videos, right?
Patronizing? And Simon left like a year ago now anyway? Hasn’t been on here in a while
simon is significantly less humorous and attractive in this video
there's one more unsub smh there goes the one person who I was able to comment to enough to enjoy learning and if I state the sad truth I'm simply attacked by the channel -_- goodbye
Wtf happened to Sam?
It would be nice if you were to just tell the story without the “woke” digs about the those poor little indians being ripped off of their land,..Which of course if you do look into history they actually thought that nobody owned any land and it was for all…. Unless of course they were fighting a rival tribe at the time.
Native or indigenous Americans
@@archstanton6102Indians. Even their own reservation governments have the name Indian police and Indian affairs in the titles.
Strangely enough i was at the NATIVE AMERICAN museum yesterday. Some prefer this title, others do not. I will go with the less offensive option.
@@archstanton6102See that, Even some Indians aren’t snowflakes. Also, You do realize that saying that calling them indians is “Not nice” you are putting down people from India?… They were originally called Indians because the explorers who landed in North America thought they had landed in India so as you may not know, It was never meant to be an offense.
@@mikeseier4449 Nice try at deflection with your pitiful attempt to try and bring the people of India into your argument. Pethaps you are genuinely confused?
You are correct the native Americans werre originally called Indians, but language evolves. That is why we don't speak or write the same English as Shakespeare.
However the word is offensive to many. Tne same way Inuit is preferred most in north Canada.
