The story of Dan Harnett is a truly fascinating one. In his brief 40 years of life, Dan was a carpenter, a pioneer of the Dakota Territory, a witness to a trial involving Abraham Lincoln, a successful high-stakes gambler and billiard hall owner in Sioux City, the co-founder of a town on the Missouri River in Dakota Territory, and the owner of multiple gold mines in Deadwood. The mysterious circumstances of his untimely death in Deadwood provides food for considerable speculation.

The City of Deadwood recently paid thousands of dollars to restore Dan's headstone at Mt. Moriah Cemetery, as his was the first stone there carved of native marble.

The e-book, "Quartz King of the Black Hills - The Biography of Dan Harnett" is available for a nominal cost. (E-mail [email protected] for details.)
