American lawman (1849–1919) who, among other posts, served as sheriff of the previously lawless Deadwood, South Dakota. A friend of Theodore Roosevelt, Bullock served as a captain in ‘Grigsby’s Cowboy Regiment’ of the Rough Riders; Roosevelt later appointed him US Marshal for South Dakota. Partly-printed DS, one page, 9.25 x 6, February 12, 1889. Stock certificate for 1000 shares in the Ruby Bell Gold and Silver Mining Company issued to H. A. Forsyth and signed at the bottom by Bullock as the company’s president. “Location of Mines: Ruby Basin, Dakota” printed at the top. “Place of business, Deadwood, Dakota” printed on the bottom. Lower left corner states, “TIMES Steam Printing House, Deadwood.” Intersecting folds, cancellation cut to center resulting in a small area of paper loss, and an ink cancellation notation through the secretary’s signature, otherwise fine condition.
Shortly after settling in rough and rowdy Deadwood in 1876, Bullock took control of the lawless town as their first Sheriff. Beyond law enforcement, he also worked to boost the economy by better organizing mining efforts, encouraging local business, and developing the ranching industry. By 1889, it had become a prosperous, steady mining town. Printed, dated, and signed at Deadwood, this mining stock holds the autograph of one of the west’s finest lawmen, referred to by his friend Theodore Roosevelt as, ‘a true Westerner, the finest type of frontiersman.’
