Deadwood Dick

Deadwood Dick is a fictional character who appears in a series of stories, or dime novels, published between 1877 and 1897 by Edward Lytton Wheeler (1854/5-1885). The name became so widely known in its time that it was used to advantage by several men who actually resided in Deadwood, South Dakota.
Those who took the nickname included:
* Frank Palmer, gambler, according to his obituary of May 30, 1906, was the original "Deadwood Dick" who, at the age of 17 (c. 1879) went west from Springfield, Illinois, to Deadwood, South Dakota, where he made his fortune playing games of chance. He was dubbed "Deadwood Dick" by fellow gamblers. Palmer was the hero of Beadle's half-dime novels.〔"Obituary: Original Deadwood Dick Passes Away," ''Pueblo Chieftain'', May 30, 1906, ''Find-a Grave'', Internet website, (), Memorial #139653203.〕
* Nat Love (1854 – 1921), an African-American cowboy;
* Dick Brown, an actor;
* Richard Cole, a stage coach driver;
* Richard Clarke, also an actor; the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce asked him in 1927 to portray Deadwood Dick in the city's annual Days of '76 Parade. Clarke's work was managed by publicity man Bert Bell. Among other assignments, Clarke was sent east to invite then-U.S. President Calvin Coolidge to Deadwood. Clarke appreciated the celebrity status so much that he continued playing Deadwood Dick until his death on May 5, 1930〔 L'Amour, Louis Dearborn, ''Law of the Desert Born'' p. 191, Bantam Books, Inc, 1983. ISBN 0-553-24134-6. 〕
* Cornishman Richard Bullock, gunman and bullion guard on the Deadwood Stage (1847 - 1921).
Others more briefly associated with the name were Richard Palmer, who died in Cripple Creek, Colorado, in 1906, and Robert Dickey, who died in a Denver hospital jail in 1912.
The syndicated anthology television series ''Death Valley Days'' presented a 1966 episode entitled "The Resurrection of Deadwood Dick," hosted by Robert Taylor with the popular character actor Denver Pyle in the starring role. In the story line, Deadwood Dick is created by the town leaders because so many tourists come to Deadwood and ask to meet the legendary frontiersman. Soon Buffalo Bill invites Deadwood Dick to join the Wild West Show. Deadwood Dick, invigorated by a burst of courage, saves the town banker in a hold-up and promises to return to Deadwood, where he spends his later years until his death in 1929.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Death Valley Days'': "The Resurrection of Deadwood Dick", October 1, 1966 )
