Captain Seth Bullock---A Black Hills Pioneer (1919)

Deadwood was a lawless, rowdy camp. The day after Seth Bullock's arrival in town, Wild Bill Hickok was murdered by Jack McCall. McCall was later found not guilty by an impromptu camp court and released, after which he promptly left town. The demand for law enforcement grew following Hickok's murder and Bullock's background made him the logical choice for Deadwood's first sheriff. Bullock took his job seriously, deputizing several residents and tackling the job of civilizing the camp.
