Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Montana judge

Bullock had been a lawman in Montana and had a friend and political ally in a Montana judge. Swearengen hopes to create an interest in Deadwood's annexation by Montana rather than the Dakota territories and their crooked politicians in Yankton.

Answer: Cornish

The German and Cornish workers require extensive bathing and body inspections to recover the gold dust and nuggets they attempt to steal. Their refusal to work at night hinders Wolcott's plan for a 24 hour operation, and raises the touchy issue of using Chinese laborers.

3. The stagecoach brings Deadwood's new telegraph operator to town. Where does he set up shop?

Answer: Merrick's newpaper office

When Swearengen discovers the telegraph equipment in the corner of Merrick's office, he sternly chastises his "ally" for not keeping him informed of developments right next door to his saloon.

4. With what does Ellsworth have a long discussion, in an attempt to build up the courage to propose marriage to his pregnant employer?

Answer: Dog

Ellsworth's little dog listened intently as his master babbled on about his future. While deeply moved by her loyal foreman's proposal, Alma Garrett requested time to consider the proposition.

Answer: Indian chief's head

Al's new best friend appears to be the head of an Indian chief which he keeps in a nearby cardboard box. He has commented that the head, provides more intelligent conversation than his employees, and Al has even taken the box out on his balcony for fresh air.

6. What new toy does the stagecoach deliver to Tom Nuttall?

Answer: Bicycle

Tom proudly displays his new acquisition at his saloon, but is upset when his customers question his purchase because of the awful condition of Deadwood's streets and walkways. Big wagers are made and most of the town assembles to watch Tom ride his bicycle down the street to win the bet.

7. In a civil but tense encounter, Martha Bullock meets with Alma Garrett in her hotel room. What does Martha volunteer to do?

Answer: Teach school

The original town school teacher had arrived in town in time to witnessed Charlie Utter's savage beating of Francis Wolcott in the middle of the street. Horrified, she promptly fled Deadwood.

Answer: Mose shoots Charlie

Unfortunately for Charlie, Wolcott was only interested in buying the entire claim. Mose approached his brother while he drank at a bar, and when he flatly refused the offer, shot him dead.

9. To whom or what did Charlie Utter confide his concerns regarding Calamity Jane's health?

Answer: Wild Bill Hickock's grave

Utter often visits Hickock's grave on the outskirts to Deadwood to bring news and information. Jane has been seen vomiting in the street and acting much worse than her normal, highly intoxicated self. Charlie relates this information to his deceased best friend and promises to deliver Hickock's last letter to his wife.

Answer: Hit him with a liquor bottle

After breaking a bourbon bottle over Wolcott's head, Joanie locked herself in a room. A bloody Wolcott staggered out into the street, only to be confronted by a drunk Calamity Jane, who has figured out that he is a multiple murderer.
