Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Aunt Lou's son Odell met with George Hearst to discuss a new gold find. Where was the gold located?

Answer: Liberia

Odell claimed to be the first deacon of his Baptist church in Liberia. A very suspicious Hearst doubted the ore sample and assay report that he was given causing an insulted Odell to abruptly call an end to the meeting. Hearst was able to calm Odell, on whom Hearst detected the smell of liquor.

2. Who did Number Ten Saloon owner Tom Nuttall take with him to the meeting of the town elders?

Answer: Manning

Bartender Harry Manning was a candidate for sheriff, although all he really wanted to be the head of the town's fire brigade.

3. What did Sol say to Trixie, that touched her and caused her to take hold of his hand?

Answer: They should take care of Sofia

The semi-reformed prostitute, Trixie, has taken a serious interest in the well being of the young orphan, Sofia as well as her guardian Alma Garrett Ellsworth. Alma has again become addicted to drugs, and her ability to care for Sofia is questionable.

4. A man named Gustave burst into the Gem Saloon as the town's leaders were preparing to meet. Surprisingly, Al Swearengen agreed to meet the man in private. What was Gustave's business?

Answer: Tailor

Swearengen was very self-conscious of the missing finger that George Hearst had chopped off. Gustave brought Swearengen an assortment of cloth swatches in which to stylishly wrap his stump.

5. What happened between Joanie Stubbs and Calamity Jane while Jane was bathing?

Answer: They kissed

Joanie, who had shown lesbian tendencies in the past, befriended the rough-cut former cavalry scout and invited Jane to live with her. The vulgar and alcoholic Jane was not used to tender treatment, and while being bathed by Joanie agreed to a kiss.

6. What was read aloud at the town meeting?

Answer: Letter of condolence

As Deadwood's leaders gathered to discuss the George Hearst threat, Merrick began by reading a touching letter of condolence that Seth Bullock had written to the family of a murdered Cornish miner. The group was moved to call for the publishing of the letter in the Deadwood newspaper.

7. What code name for hired guns was Hearst using in telegrams?

Answer: Bricks

When telegraph operator Blazanov deduced that Hearst was sending for hired guns and not building materials, he did not hesitate in asking Merrick to accompany him to see Swearengen with the alarming news.

8. Who had an allergic reaction to the cinnamon, that Jewel served with the canned peaches?

Answer: Harry

After consuming a generous portion of peaches with cinnamon, Harry Manning began to have difficulty in breathing and collapsed. The doctor quickly diagnosed the allergic reaction and warned Harry, "Don't eat cinnamon anymore."

9. How much did gold mining magnate George Hearst tip Blazanov for delivering a telegram?

Answer: $20

The town's telegraph operator questioned Hearst's large gratuity. Hearst was unaware that Blazanov had previously leaked to Al Swearengen important information regarding the hiring of gunmen.

10. Why did Doc Cochran want to leave Deadwood?

Answer: He didn't want to infect the camp

It had become apparent that the town's doctor was suffering from the effects of tuberculosis, and was, as characterized by several Deadwood citizens, a 'lunger'. He explained to Swearengen, "I've believed for a dozen years that disease is airborne...and I won't make others sick."
