This is a Fine Art photo of a M & O CIGAR ghost sign. This old wall, with the ghost sign, for M & O Cigars was on the side of the Bodega Cafe in downtown Deadwood, South Dakota. Deadwood is famous for being the place where James Butler, better known as "Wild Bill" Hickok was shot in the back, while playing poker at Nuttal & Mann's Saloon No. 10 by Jack McCall, who was set on revenge having lost a serious amount of money to "Wild Bill" in a poker game the night before. Jack was, simply, a poor loser and felt by killing a man who could play better poker than he, would even things out. McCall forgot one final detail, that he would spend the rest of his life in jail, giving him plenty of time to think about the stupid thing he had done. An interesting aside to this story is that Wild Bill never sat with his back to any door, but that evening he broke his one cardinal rule and paid the price of not heeding his own advice. Wild Bill Hickok is buried in the Mt. Mariah cemetery just outside of town in Deadwood. Some of the other personalities associated with Deadwood are Calamity Jane, Potato Creek Johnny, Al Swearengen, E. B. Farnum, Charlie Utter, Sol Star, Martha Bullock, Seth Bullock, A. W. Merrick, Samuel Fields, and Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy. Deadwood has quite the exotic energy for unusual events, even today the famous Sturgis Bike Rally draws in thousands of people who write their own bit of history while becoming motorcycle legends in their own minds.
