Rare Pre-Little Big Horn Satirical Song Sheet. Broadside; 5 x 8 inches, with ornamental border. A tale of regret by a miner who gave up his trade to prospect for gold, but found nothing but bad weather and hostile Indians. Mentions Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse by name, and curses whoever started the Black Hills gold rush. He concludes:"Oh I wish that the man who first started this sellWas a captive, and Crazy Horse had him in - well,There is no use in grieving, or swearing like pitch,But the man who would stay here is a son of a _____."Bell & Company is first listed at this address in the San Francisco directory for 1872.

Dick and Fannie were performing at the Melodean (now the Fairmont Hotel) when Shaughnessy threw a packet of love letters from his seat in the audience onto the stage. Believing the package was an axe, Brown drew his gun and fired a fatal shot at Shaughnessy. Brown and Garretson hastily departed from Deadwood. Brown was later apprehended and returned to face trial. Acquitted on the grounds of self defense, he was defended by his paramour in a letter to the local newspapers, in which Fannie explained she had lived with Shaughnessy but never married him, so was free to run away to the Black Hills with Brown" (Deadwood Magazine).…
