- Adam MacLean: This is Yellowstone, Dakota Territory: jumping-off place for The Badlands. It's a small town, but it's growing--maybe too fast, maybe too violently. It's got law and people who respect it... and of course, those who don't. We've got a newspaper. It's not big, either, but it will be. I run the newspaper. That's my name on the window: Adam MacLean.
