Strong, bold signature. ‘Cancelled’ in red over signature. # 197 for 5000 shares to Sol Star and endorsed on back. Dateline Deadwood, Dakota, 1888. Underprint blue miner. Light issues at edges, overall very nice. Bullock, Seth was the first sheriff of Deadwood, Dakota and an U.S. Marshall. Deadwood was a lawless area sated with rough characters. The day after She Star and Bullock arrived, Jack McCall shot folk legend and lawman Wild Bill Hickok in the back of the head. Before he unpacked, the angry townspeople elected Bullock as their first sheriff. He brought law and order to the city with strength of character more than bullets. In addition to bringing peace, he played an important role in the development of the town by investing in its mines, farms, ranches, and cultural development. Solomon Star was a German-American businessman and politician notable as an early resident of the town of Deadwood, South Dakota. He was mayor of Deadwood at the time this certificate was issued.
