Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Cy Tolliver sought out his employee Con Stapleton to act as his representative in dealing with George Hearst. What was Stapleton doing when Tolliver found him?

Answer: Playing with a prostitute

Con's recent liaison with the actress Claudia had renewed his long dormant interest in sex. When found by his boss, Con was playing with the breasts of a voluptuous Bella Union whore while she bathed.

2. After a meeting with George Hearst, Silas Adams returned to the Gem Saloon with a message. What was the subject of the message?

Answer: Captain Turner challenged Dan Dority

The two large henchmen had been trading insults for some time. Dan was immediately ready to fight, but his boss wanted time to "decipher his reason."

3. Sheriff Bullock finally orchestrated the consummation of the sale of the livery stable by Hostetler to Steve. What happened at the designated time of closing?

Answer: Both men signed simultaneously

Both Steve and Hostetler had been adamant about not wanting to be the first to sign the closing papers. Bullock settled the matter by arranging for the men to sign at the same time. At the pre-arranged time, Bullock fired his pistol, and Steve signed at the Number Ten Saloon and Hostetler signed at the hardware store.

4. What did Blazanov and Merrick see while walking down the street?

Answer: A dead body

The two men happened upon a man laying in the street with a knife in his chest. The body is later identified as that of a Cornish mine worker and labor union organizer. Sheriff Bullock was outraged and determined to confront George Hearst.

5. It became apparent to many that bank president Alma Ellsworth was again using drugs. Who was her initial supplier?

Answer: Leon

Shortly after she first arrived at the desolate and filthy mining camp called Deadwood, Alma became addicted to drugs. She kicked the habit, however, her more recent illness and surgery required her to be medicated. She unsuccessfully tried to resist Doc Cochran's insistence that she take drugs for her illness, and quickly relapsed.

6. Three more members of Langrishe's acting troupe arrived in Deadwood on the stagecoach. What was the name of the gravely ill stage star?

Answer: Chesterton

Langrishe told his ailing star that the camp was "yearning for elevation and festering with wealth". He later lifted the dying Chesterton's spirits by telling him that he would have to work to help pay for his care and treatment.

7. What was the outcome in the confrontation between Dan Dority and Captain Turner?

Answer: Dority killed Turner

The two powerful men fought a savage battle in the street as their employers looked on from their balconies. Just when Swearengen thought that his man was going to be drowned in a mud puddle, Dority gouged out Turner's eye and bludgeoned him to death with a piece of firewood.

8. After becoming high on drugs, who did Alma try to seduce?

Answer: Ellsworth

The union of Alma and Ellsworth had been a marriage of convenience. She was pregnant with Seth Bullock's child, and married Ellsworth, her mining operations manager, to avoid social stigma. Ellsworth sensed that something was amiss with his wife, and promptly gathered his things and left.

9. What did Hostetler do after being repeatedly called a liar by Steve?

Answer: Shot himself in the head

The proud Hostetler could no longer tolerate the intoxicated Steve's verbal abuse, so he took his own life with a shotgun blast to the head.

10. What did Sheriff Bullock do to an intoxicated George Hearst after being insulted by the mining magnate?

Answer: Pulled his ear

At Al Swearengen's request, Bullock had reluctantly refrained from taking action against Hearst for his involvement in the deaths of three Cornish union organizers. Hearst's drunken insults were all Bullock could stand, and the lawman arrested Hearst and dragged him by the ear to jail.
