Reason for reading: borrowed it from Scott, like the HBO series
Blurb (from back cover): "There is nothing on television like the award-winning HBO series Deadwood. Beautiful, profane, complex, and sublime, the show is drama at its very best. Entertaining and illuminating, Deadwood: Stories of the Black Hills offers a mesmerizing portrait of the most dangerous settlement in the West. This unprecedented look at the people, places, and history of Deadwood comes straight from the show's creator, chief writer, and executive producer, David Milch.
"Through in-depth discussions of the themes and motivations that course through the lawless camp, Milch sheds light on the characters and events in Deadwood. Fresh interviews with the Deadwood cast, scores of never-before-seen photographs, and historical images and illustrations bring the show and the place to life.
Opinion: I thought that the interviews with cast members were insightful and entertaining. There were also little tidbits from actually newspapers from that time that I thought were great. What I disliked the most was the layout of the book-stuff was just kinda placed there without giving thought to the continuity of the main chapters material.
