Malice, Menace and Mendacity The cast of characters coloring the Black Hills' raucous past has inspired memorable Hollywood productions. Al Swearengen, "Wild Bill" Hickok and Calamity Jane have become celebrities, but many of the most malevolent moments did not produce household names. One of the more bizarre and unsolved murders was the Chinatown killing of a beautiful and rich woman named Di Lee. In 1894, Lakota Sioux warrior Chief Two Sticks was hanged for his band's involvement in the brutal slayings of several cowboys and a few policemen at the Isaac Humphrey Ranch. Swearengen's Gem Theater often played host to violence involving prostitutes, performers and patrons. Soiled dove Kitty Clyde was the victim of her spurned lover Charles Wilson, while "Banjo Dick" murdered his lover's ex-husband in supposed self-defense. Author Deborah Cuyle combed local archives to tell the unvarnished accounts of Deadwood's most daring and dastardly denizens.
