Because there was a great deal of profanity in everyday life in the Black Hills in the 1870s. The obscene vocabulary of the time was primarily blasphemous (i.e., "God-damn," "hell", etc.), and would strike the modern viewer as quaint and innocuous, so the dialog was updated to use more contemporary obscenities.
