what was wrong with the preacher on deadwood
Henry Weston Smith Smith was portrayed in the American television series Deadwood by Ray McKinnon. The letter written by the character of Seth Bullock in the third season episode "Unauthorized Cinnamon" is similar to the August 21, 1876 letter to Reverend J. S. Chadwick written by the real Seth Bullock. The circumstances of his fictional demise were changed to a gradual decay due to a brain tumor and was later given euthanasia by Al Swearengen.
