1870s, Deadwood. Illegally built on Indian land when gold was found in the Black Hills. Had a reputation for lawlessness with, amongst many, the murder of Wild Bill Hickock. Also the burial place of Calamity Jane. The burgeoning town brought an influx of prostitutes with classy names such as Madame Mustache and Dirty Em.
