Seth Bullock is one of the most legendary figures of the West.
He was a pioneer of the frontier, if you're like me, I always thought of Seth Bullock as a lawman of the West, of the likes of Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok and many others. But as I dug into his life and who he was as a man. I began to learn of a man who was less lawman, but more business man, pioneer, entrepreneur, husband and father. He took chances on business and went against the path and in the end, helped in the creation of towns that still stand and thrive today!

In Part 1, we will discuss his childhood, his early adulthood, his work in Montana and his arrival in Deadwood. Well, let's get into it shall we!
