And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Calamity Jane at the grave of Wild Bill Hickok, Deadwood, South Dakota, 1903.
I was there in 2001 (I know it was a long time ago) and it looked more like a well kept cemetery. The story about Calamity Jane and Wild Bill always elicits a maudlin feeling for me. Steve
Anyone have any photos of what the place looks like now???

I think that it's a combination truck stop and strip mall.
