Yes, there are! The go-to book for anyone interested in a scholarly book on Deadwood is Deadwood: The Golden Years by Dr. Watson Parker. This has all the information you can desire regarding the formation and the life of Deadwood between 1876 and the 1940's, but do not expect any stories of gunslingers and gamblers; that's for the pop historians. Deadwood was defined by its businessmen, prospectors and miners - the other infamous characters only pass by.
