From Introduction: John Dawson, a rich but ruthless rancher controls everything and everyone in the town called Deadwood. Only one family (the O’Gravey family) dares to stand against him, but the rest of the town is not eager to give them support. Now Dawson has learned that the new railway is going to run through the O’Gravey’s land and the government will pay handsomely for it. He now desperately wants that land, before anyone else learns about the new railway.
