Summary:

Estelline Bennett was an inquisitive young woman who grew up in Deadwood, South Dakota (in Sioux Territory) in the late 19th century. She saw Deadwood transform from a rough mining camp into a real town with three-story buildings and laws to uphold. Bennett's father was the town judge, so she had an inside view into crime and punishment in Deadwood, which was a classic wild west town, replete with outlaws.
