It's 1878, and you're in Philadelphia at a Magic Lantern Show, the best entertainment around before motion pictures.

The screen reads: The Wild West!
An astounding magic lantern entertainment. Spectacular views of life and drama on the western frontier.

A member of the audience stands, "What a bunch of hogwash! That's not what the west is really like! Somebody should go out there and learn the real story!"

He turns to you:

"You should go out there. Find the truth behind all these outrageous tales we hear. That would be a magic lantern show I would happily pay good money to see."

Your destination: The frontier town of Deadwood, Dakota Territory.

Your mission: Discover the truth about the mythical Wild West. Talk to the people of Deadwood. Listen to the different points of view. Decide which stories give you the real picture of life on the frontier.
