When was Wild Bill's body moved from Deadwood to Colorado? I can find nothing about moving his burial site. I've visited his burial in Deadwood w/Calamity Jane's next to him. So which one is true burial site?

The person buried next to Calamity Jane in Deadwood is Wild Bill Hickock (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Bill_Hickok). He was not the same person as Buffalo Bill (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill) Buffalo Bill has always been buried in Golden, Colorado. In fact, the people of Cody Wyoming believed he should have been buried in Cody and tried to take Buffalo Bill's body to their town. So his grave in Colorado was reiniforced to prevent this from happening. He is definitely burried in Colorado.

When I went to the museum and saw his grave, the plaques say he was never buried anywhere else. His only burial site is at Lookout Mountain in Colorado. In his will, he wanted to be buried in Cody, Wyoming. But shortly before his death he visited Lookout Mountain and was in such awe of the place that he told his spouse, Louisa, that he wanted to be buried at Lookout mountain because that spot captured both the beauty of The Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Over 20,000 people attended his funeral and the family requested to see his body one last time before they buried him at Lookout Mountain. I guess him being buried anywhere else is fake news according to the museum.
