Wild Bill Hickok was already famous as a gunslinger when he arrived in Deadwood in July 1876, hoping to increase his fortune through gambling. Three weeks later he was shot in Saloon No. 10 while playing cards. He was holding two black aces and two black eights, now known as The Dead Man’s Hand.

Hickok’s memorial is among the star attractions of Mt. Moriah Cemetery above Deadwood. Calamity Jane's grave lies next to his. Seth Bullock’s is farther up the hill.
