The very name Deadwood conjures up vivid Wild West images: saloons
with swinging doors, brazen dance-hall girls, buckskin-clad
Calamity Jane roaming the streets with her erstwhile paramour, Wild
Bill Hickok. The setting is the lawless Dakota Territory of 1876 at
the start of the Black Hills gold rush, a stampede for the golden
pay dirt. One would hardly expect to find a Jewish pioneer grocer
named Jacob Goldberg in this scene, yet Deadwood's story is
incomplete without Goldberg. And Goldberg's story is incomplete
without either Calamity Jane or Wild Bill. Not just Goldberg, but
Finkelstein (also known as Franklin), Stern (also known as Star),
Jacobs, Schwarzwald, Colman, Hattenbach, and many other Jews joined
the throngs. The Jews provided much more than overalls,
chamberpots, and the chambers in which to put them. They also
became the mayors, legislators, and civic leaders who helped bring
sense and stability to this unruly expanse.
